Am I the only one who sees these dumb web comics, videos like Red Vs. Blue and such, thinks they're not funny, and then moves on instead of making topics about them?

(The exception being that godawful godmode shit)

Technically, they're web videos and I was just trying to see if anyone out there shares my opinion!  PARDON ME IF I AM SPAMMING THE GAMING FORUM.

what is 1 800 magic?

Red vs. Blue is all right. I haven't really watched it since they switched over to the Halo 2 version though.  :lol

As one of the first "Shadowrunners", I was intrigued by their take on this new, growing FPS community/game... but it was worse than Red vs Blue.

This is why I am worried about buying a 360. It sounds like the hardware is just fundamentally flawed - there's something wrong at a design level which will not be fixed until they do a real revision of the way the unit works. :(

Yeah, I'm a fan of Shadowrun.  It's incredibly balanced and a lot of fun, but if I had to pay actual cash for it, I would probably feel slighted by the lack of maps/options/polish/etc.  That said, it's now Microsoft's second best selling title according to their rep that stopped by, it has taken XBL by storm and the Halo community has begun to actively migrate to Shadowrun.  The last part is the only negative thing I have to say about the community, because the influx of teenagers and twenty-something obnoxious frat jerks that refer to everything as "gay" is annoying.  That said, I know a bunch of folks that have purchased the title, so I just party up or private chat with them.  Problem solved.

I am expecting DLC soon considering the reaction to the game.

Then aren't Xboxen so cheap in Japan that it's like purchasing a disposable camera?

Where did you hear that?  They're more expensive than in the US.

I think they're cheaper here, actually.  I know mine was when I bought it at launch.

Are you doing a straight conversion from yen to dollar? (i.e. 100 yen = 1 dollar)

Xbox 360 Core U.S. $299

Xbox 360 Core Japan Around 29,000 yen or U.S. $235

Also when the system launched here, I got the regular unit with everything included...I can't remember how much, but it was cheaper than the U.S. price.

Shows how much attention I've been paying to the 360 in Japan.  Hmm...I would never buy a core system, though.

A regular would be cheaper too.   :)

I'm waiting for a redesign that will do something to address the failure rate situation.  :-\

Machinima. "Animated" short films using video game characters. The first one was done with Halo/Halo2 and the second one is by the same guys using ShadowRuin. I've seen a couple of RvB and they were kind of funny but I never followed it that religiously cause I'm not big on Halo.

The best Machinima is the Anachronox movie. Someone edited all the cutscenes and some gameplay from Anachronox into a 2 hour or so movie. I remember it being a fun way to enjoy a game I hadn't played.

Red vs Blue comes up in conversations around here almost never, and I live in seattle.
