Sounds like you need to walk your ass to a used car lot or bicycle shop.

bike, maybe. too expensive to own a car downtown.

i do have rollerblades somewhere in storage

Has anyone checked out Rocksmith? It came out yesterday, it's like Guitar Hero but you have to use your guitar to play. It's pretty good for learning to play guitar.

I just ordered Rocksmith ... hopefully it arrives before the weekend.

I'm looking forward to knocking the dust off my electric guitar ... I'm hopeful this game brings back a former passion of mine.

Jason, my buddy who suggested it said it's really fun in that it teaches you as you play, scales, etc. and full songs, the effects used in the songs available. Too cool.

Cool!

One of the reasons I stopped playing a few years back is because I didn't have any friends to jam with. I hit a plateau and over a while, just stopped. It will be interesting to have other instruments in the background.

It will be very ironic if a hobby that replaced playing the guitar actually gets me to stop playing video games and back to playing the guitar in my free time.

Grand theft Auto V preview coming out 11/2

I havent played a video game since June.

holding off on this for the time being. batman: AA was one of the best campaigns i've ever played, but once i beat it, i was like... what now? the challenges got old after a little bit and there is no online play.

same is going to apply for AC, but gears of war and battlefield will keep be busy for a while. i do plan on getting it, just not now.

my friends that have it said it is incredible and the equivelent of what dark knight was to batman begins.

that is all.

Went to play last night and the whole process took so long I lost interest

the servers are shit, have been shit, and always will be shit. just a reality with frostbite & EA.

BUT once you get connected, it is beyond awesome :P

really thought they would have learned from BF2, but guess not. apparentely there are "important" patches in the works. we'll see.

To be honest it was the long install, the stupid battlelog setup, and trying to join friends. I couldn't get in their server, which is fine, but instead of using a quick join I tried to join through the server list which annoyed me greatly.

I had no issue with Bf2 connections, and I got BC2 long after it came out so they had everything figured out (except stat saving ) by then.

Just picked it up last night. All I did was install it. Probably will get on tonight and see how it is. I've heard it is much better than the beta.

Tried to get on tonight with quick match and continuous "You have been disconnected from the server" errors.

Is anyone playing the PC version? Are the servers getting better?

And if anyone is playing the counsel version, are the maps too big with only 24 players?

A PC gamer friend told me no issues with the PC version.

For $15, NBA Jam: On Fire Edition is well worth the money and is awesome with friends playing.

Plus, you can unlock old-school guys like Mullins, Stockton, and my favorite Rik Smits!
