<description>&#60;p&#62;How is your Gears of War 2 experience going?  Enjoying the game, or a depressing letdown?  Did you get to a midnight event.  Discuss it all here.

<description>&#60;p&#62;Okay, I am going to try and get something going for those that requested it.  What games are people looking to play.  I can get nights going for the PC and for the 360.  Tee up some suggestions.  Also, if people are interested in PS3 nights, post in here and we can see if any of the writers can get something organized.  I know there was mention of a Warhawk night, so that might work.  I also have a Wii, so if you friend code me, I can set up a Super MarioKart night, being the only online Wii game I have.

<description>&#60;p&#62;Hey guys, the editing should start on Monday for this podcast, but we have a big guest on the show, so make sure to listen when you get the podcast downloaded.  Also, the format went out the window for this one, but it was for the best I think.  Hope you enjoy it and let us know what you think of the show as always.  Community corner will also be back as of next week.&#60;/p&#62;

<description>&#60;p&#62;I have waned over the last year or two, but I do love me some pro-sports.  Even some college b-ball and football is alright.  If I had to pick a favorite sport, it would be pro-football.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;As for favorite teams, I would go as follows&#60;br /&#62;
Pro-Football - Miami Dolphins&#60;br /&#62;
Baseball - Chicago White Sox&#60;br /&#62;
Pro-Basketball - New Orleans Hornets (Still the Charlotte Hornets in my mind.)&#60;br /&#62;
Pro-Hockey - Montreal Canadians&#60;br /&#62;
Soccer - DC United, England National Team&#60;br /&#62;
College Sports - University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I do like me some Nascar, but I am trying to pick a different driver, because Junior should have stayed put at DEI, because I cannot cheer for anyone that is on the same team as Jeff Gordon.  I was a huge Dale Sr. fan for years until his untimely death.

<description>&#60;p&#62;I was cruising the web, and reading all the gushing praise of Gears of War 2, and it just has me wondering if the game is really worth the praise, or if it is blind expectations that get people excited for the game.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;My assumption is that journalists and reviewers are impartial and are not influenced by the name recognition of a game, but games like this seem to be allowed some leeway when it comes to mistakes that another title might not be able to overcome.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;A good example would be if Gears 2 suddenly shifted to using an Alone in the Dark like inventory system.  Would it be heckled like Alone in the Dark was, or would it get a pass, all in the name of Gears 2.

<description>&#60;p&#62;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.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;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.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;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.

&#60;p&#62;my kid came home with a candy necklace, except that instead of it being nice and neat, it came in a bag and it required assembly.  So I spent twenty minutes putting together the necklace.  Never Want To Do That Again!

<description>&#60;p&#62;We were asked on the last podcast who we would nominate for president from the gaming world.  I chose Max Payne, because I want a president who speaks in over the top dialogue while looking like he is taking a dump. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;So who would you guys pick for president from the gaming world?

<description>&#60;p&#62;I just beat that game and its really freaking hard.  I let my friend play it once and he basically put the controller down and said it was too hard, although he was a little out of it at the time. Did anyone else have as much trouble with this game as me/and can anyone clarify the ending for me?

<description>&#60;p&#62;Millions of people love Madden, yet you want to kill it and without solid reasoning George.  Don't cop out and say &#34;competition&#34; because you didn't come to that til you were prodded by other podcast member.  Do you just hate sports in general?

<description>&#60;p&#62;I've contemplating all of the gaming related items I what to receive/purchase this Christmas, and a PS3 has come to mind. So, a couple days after Christmas, since I'd probably have enough money from my birthday too, I figured I'd buy one. The only games I'd have are LittleBigPlanet and Resistance 2. Do you think I should buy one? If you own a PS3, how do you like it? Thanks!

<description>&#60;p&#62;Achievement whoring.  We've all done it some form or another.  Maybe we spend several hours doing meaningless tasks for just 50 GS, or we spend several more hours online with friends just to get all the online achievements.  Maybe we purchase all the easy little XBLA games for a quick 200, or rent kids games for an easy 1000.  &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Although I don't really consider myself an achievement whore, I have been guilty of achievement whoring myself.  For instance, I just got this new HDTV, and I should be playing GTA IV and Dead Space on it, but no, I'm whoring out Buku Sudoku.  There's an achievement for playing 200 puzzles, and then another one for getting a cumulative score of 10,000,000, and I'm playing way more sudoku than I should just so I can have those two achievements.  Why?  Why do we do this?!&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;So, my question to you lot is, how big of an achievement whore are you?

<description>&#60;p&#62;Is anyone still checking out the propaganda video service Nintendo so graciously provides via the Wii?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I just watched a video featuring Miyamoto showing off Wii Music to a bunch of young schoolchildren the other night, and it made me love that dopey game. (On some level.)&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I check in every once in a while, and am usually surprised by the amount of interesting clips I find.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;They had Harvest Moon Wii stuff on there weeks ago, so...that's a must-see for me. And unexpected.
