For all you TA lovers out there Spring is a 3D engine designed for RTS games with many of the games/mods based around the original TA. I haven't downloaded it yet because I'm waiting for them to release a stable version with multiplayer support but one of those games might be a good choice for our monday rotation! I wouldn't mind playing some original TA. I'm pretty sure it had 1v1 online support.

i think TA has 4v4 online support. but beware of playing against bots... the AI will nuke you into oblivion on anything higher than easy because its supercharged by the processing power of modern computers.

that actually sounds kind of badassed and ominous what with all the terminator hype
haha I like how the adapter looks like a mini N64 but i would've preferred a mini NES though.

natal seems kind of cool as long as your not a GAE. i think wii games are fun for parties but when I'm gaming by my lonesome I like to recline on the couch and just mash buttons. so i guess i'm only a GAE in private. :O an air guitar game could be fun especially for those of us who aren't experts at rock band and the like.
interacting with virtual characters doesn't really appeal to me. although getting it to recognize a dickbutt or gen pop drawing could be amusing haha: "oh god! what..what is that?! what's wrong with his face? is that a screw driver? oh..oh no!" "you've just been gen popped milo!"
it could be fun to play a game where you're dressed like this guy: One Man Band
or this guy:

yeah the virtual character thing seems like the last thing you do before never talking to a real person ever again
I just finished Bioshock. I'd say it was alright. There was a lot of hype going on about it but I held out for a while to get it cheaper a few months back and I just took to finishing it today. I'll start giving games ratings now too. I give Bioshock 3 out of 5 finding ammunition 2 bullets at a time.
