    @crashedpc - Haifisch: Of course! It's so helpful when people just let you know what they'd like. Since we're exchanging gifts I'd like an iphone. I understand if that's a little pricey though. I'm willing to settle for an Xbox 306.

    I have to say though, "Magenta Ring of Death" sounds a lot kinder and less depressing than Red Ring of Death.

    Are you sure it's not made by Microsoft?

    So will I be able to play any of my favourite games on my Xbax 306? Or will I be stuck with Sprockets of War and Left too Die?

    @Ruthless, If you let me: No... but I just got AC2 in the mail and I figured my wrists needed a break from all that mousing.

    I checked my % complete two nights ago and it was at 38%-ish. Holy bejeebus. I mean, seriously, holy shit. I'm fairly sure I wasn't dragging my feet, either. At the moment I'm pissed cuz the Shale DLC got borked and there's no patch in sight yet. Anyway!
