Here is my thought on current games:

Thought 1:

Why are their sequels to games on the "next" gen systems?  Why are people talking about the next gen already?  With games taking 2-5 years for production, a console almost needs to have the 10 year life cycle.

When FFXIII comes out, it should be a fully functional RPG...a huge world, tons of npc's, and a long epic rpg.   Then every 6-12 months, square should just start releaseing add on packs.  Give me FFIX on the ps4.  Don't keep starting over at ground zero.  Let me just buy new adventures to keep playing in the world I love.

also:  Where are the awesome co-op games I thought I would be playing this generation?  Is RE5 going to be the first one, and I have to wait until spring to play it?

Thought 2:

I am now about 120 hours into Monster Hunter 2.  I started a group that meets at my house once a week.  After my family is in bed, my friends come over and we play from like 9pm till 1am.  I just solo'd a tigrex.  It was pretty cool.  I am working on getting Kai working so I can play more then once a week.  Why doesn't Monster Hunter have infastructure?  So crazy.  Capcom probably has lost a lot of sales in America because of that.

Thought 3:

Their are far too many great games coming out that I want to play.  Little Big Planet, Fallout 3, Motorstorm 2 (there ya go...patch in the new engine, and sell me new events), Resistance 2 (grrr)....so many games.  I won't have the budget for all of them.  I still can't get enough scratch together for an HDTV, let alone all those games, let alone have the time to play them.

Thought 4:

I considered just getting an HDTV...just going out and getting it.  The problem is, we are starting the adoption process again.  We want more kiddies in the house, and we still owe like 25k on our last kid.  If I wasn't working 50+ hours a week, I would get another job. 

All in all tho, games are still the best form of entertainment on the market when you talk about money. 

Thought 5:

I got rid of all my blogs except for this one, and I started a blog on blogger.com.  I also finally made a myspace/facebook page.  I decided it would make me a better media person to understand social networks better.  Now when you google my name, the info I want to see comes up to the top of the search. 

I like my 2old2play blog tho.  I really like this community.  I almost shut down this blog.  I find it annoying that you are not allowed to post mulitple blog posts in a row.  Granted I havn't done that in forever, but I still remember the admin handing out notes one night after I posted 3 blogs in a row.

I also like posting here now b/c I am on a mac, and firefox 3 is much better then firefox 2.  Firefox 2 was sooo sloooowwww.

Well that is enough ranting here for now.  I will try to get over here more.  I try to not post about games on my other blog so I force myself to blog here more often :)
