It's the currency for Xbox Live Marketplace. They don't do direct dollar amounts because then you wouldn't have to do math to figure out how much money you're spending each time.

It prepares us for Las Vegas as adults. After all, it's only chips we're losing, not money.

I reloaded Oblivion on the PC after reading the word a bunch of times in this thread. I'm really enjoying it again but I've been playing multi-player RP games for so long, I actually keep thinking that some of the really well done NPCs walking around are actually player characters.
I'll be wanting Fallout III and I likely would have bought it for the PS3 because I have few games for it and I need more for when my wife commandeers the PC nightly to check facebook. From the sound of the bugs and video glitches, I should get the PC version. Thanks for the heads up. Edited by Murph (10/30/08 08:19 AM) Edit Reason: Hit [Send] to soon.

I can't wait for Gears 2. That EP500 will add a significant amount of depth to everything you listen to Ascension, including every bullet firing in Gears ![]() Yeah, I can't wait for that! They did a big overhaul on the sounds of their weapons. There's going to be a more "tactile" feel to the weapons when you fire them!

Fallout 3 is a challenging game. I have died many times just on the normal setting. I have been doing a lot of combat in tunnels lately. I have been successful with using the "sneak" feature, getting close to the enemy then using theh V.A.T.S and targeting their heads, legs and chest (if you have a high enough percentage of a headshot with a rifle, I have been decapitating the enemies with one shot).
Lately I have been struggling with finding health and have been very low in a lot of battles. It really makes you think about a strategy. This game is soooooo good!!!! Dr. House Edited by Dr.House (10/30/08 05:08 PM)

For the LBP players, send me a PM and we can hook up online. I played online w/ some people last night and it was hilarious.
