My. God. I was sitting here at the computer when all of a sudden I hear something on my local news station that piques my interest. There was a brief segment on Gears of War 2, so I quickly ran into the den to see what they'd say. Surprisingly, there was nothing mentioned about violence; it seemed more promotional than anything. It even showed Mike Capps, since Epic Games is located in Cary, NC. On to my main point, they showed some gameplay that I'd seen before, but I was stunned by the graphics. I play my 360 games on an old boob-tube TV in my room. Today, I saw what the game looks like on a 50", 720p, Plasma screen.

However, if I could vote, McCain would have received my vote. My base morals and beliefs align better with his, and, although most politicians display this in some fashion, Obama seems like an illusionist to me. In regards to the Vice President candidates, I was bewildered by McCain's pick of Sarah Palin. I don't have anything against her, but I don't believe she has enough experience to potentially run this country; these thoughts carry over for Obama as well. As for Joe Biden, I haven't exactly followed or read up on him. I'm not happy with the outcome of this election, but I hope the best for this country. </p> http://www.aeropause.com/forums/topic/155#post-457 Wed, 05 Nov 2008 07:42:35 +0000 Joe 457@http://www.aeropause.com/forums/ <p>So how did everyone fare on this fine election Tuesday. I am pretty happy. I voted for Obama (as did most of California), and my No on 8 vote may work out after early signs pointed to it passing.</p> <p>Anyone else have any good or bad stories to tell about their election day. I was lucky enough to have a polling place across the street from my house, and the lines were not too long. I had the option of a paper ballot or an electronic voting machine, so I opted for Electronic voting. It took a little longer, but it just seems to be a better bet than a paper ballot.</p> <p>I think my House Rep, Ken Calvert won. I was upset about that, because I was still pissed at the fact he voted for the Bank Bailout. He automatically lost my vote the day he voted yes on the bailout bill. </p>
