I bought Rainbow 6:Vegas today on the way to work. I'm working 5 pm to 1 am tonight, so I'll probably try it out when I get home. It really brought home some of those old NES memories to have a game and not be able to immediately play it.

I used to buy a game and go back home and play it immediately. That was when I was in college and later when my kids were little and my job and other activities not as all consuming. Now, with 2 kids, a job that is much more involving and a wife witth her own career, I can't always say when I get to play.

So, I've got DDRMax 2 for my PS2. I've got 2 pads. Do I get the new 360 version of DDR, DDR Universe? Will a PS2 to USB converter work for this?

I really got the game more for my wife than anything. And the idea of hooking up a corded device to my new $400 white box is appalling and frightening to me. I know at least once I slipped and pulled the PS2 out of the entertainment center and onto the floor with the old game (yes, I am THAT uncoordinated). But I think the PS2 can take a beating better than the 360.

I've been playing through the campaign as Dom in Gears of War. A buddy of mine at work and I had not quite beaten the game when we were assigned to different shifts. We agreed to not go past this point until we could do it together. So I went back to where I was in the game before we started playing together and went through those levels again, tthis time working on my skills in the hopes that I could (a) be cannon fodder less frequently when we continued and (b) be cannon fodder less frequently online.

So, Crackdown is coming out and I want to know everyone's opinion on this.  The demo will go on at 2 am PST on the 23rd. (quick math), that should be right when I'm getting home (unless I get switched back to days before that).  So that means that I'm sure I'll turn on the box, start the downlaod and go to bed.  And when I get up (between 1-3 pm) I'll hear "Why was the xbox on?" 

 I love being psychic. 

Any case, enough of my life,  What is this game to you?

So, who games at 4 am?

(raises hand)

Who games at 4 am who has 2 kids, a wife and a (I think) respectable job?

(looks around, mine is the only hand up)
