The publishers are pushing hard to make everything online. Why? Just follow the money. It makes them more of it. It scares me a little, because what if your internet goes down or you just don't want to fork out the money for it anymore? That may brick your system in the coming generations. I'll have to go back to pre-internet dominated systems like PS2 or earlier. That's not a bad thing now that I think of it. I better keep those things around just in case.

I like "looking down on me from their hover discus chairs in the sky". It makes me think of this from Wall-E:

That's hilarious because I watched it without sound because the computer I was using had a busted headphone jack.

"Saves" does not equate to "Sessions" in my mind. Sessions mean gameplay footage to me. That seems really misleading.

I dont' think I started buying systems for a particular game until Halo made the Xbox a must-have and Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader made me have to get a GameCube. Before that, I just had PS1, N64 and Dreamcast for no particular game really. PS2 had Red Faction and Half-Life, but I waited a while before getting the system since I had played those on PC. Later I discovered JRPGs and lots of other super cool titles for it, but I was mainly an Xbox player that gen. This new generation though. I may make PS4 my favorite. We'll see.

That's cool your dorm room was like the local arcade. There should've been NES or Sega Master Systems around when I was in college, but I don't remember any - only Mac computers.

That's how I've been this gen. All cross-platform games I got on 360 and used PS3 and Wii for their exclusives only. I don't know, but I might switch it up this coming gen and make PS4 my cross-platform system. The software coming out in 2014 will decide that for me.

Wow! Interesting wiki stuff on Need For Speed Rivals. Sounds like EA is getting serious with this series and letting Ghost Games be the exclusive dev for all future Need For Speed games. It's also interesting that a lot of Criterion went over to Ghost, leaving 17 people at Criterion to work on a new project. I'm gonna have to keep an eye on this game and Criterion as well.

I have that Lego Indiana Jones/ Kung Fu Panda two game pack for 360. I got it for Kung Fu Panda because I thought the demo was fun. I still haven't gotten to it in my backlog though. It's like the other two pack I have of Lego Batman/Pure. I still want to play Pure badly. I loved the demo for that one too.

I would love to get a PS4. I want to play Killzone badly. Budget won't allow at this time sadly. I was six month to a year late on all the last gen systems. I'm exhibiting the same pattern this gen too. I bought the 3DS almost 2 years after launch and the Vita about 1 1/2 years later, and the Wii-U is in my sites now exactly a year from it's release.

Welcome markheg! I was a 1Uper too. I was listening to all the 1UP podcasts way before I started blogging, but I loved the site once I started. I followed a few people to Pixlbit when 1UP went 1DOWN and have enjoyed it quite a bit. There's even some things I think are an improvement over 1UP like having responses show up in your Messages so you don't miss a thing. I used to have to open up my old blogs from time to time on 1UP to see if there were any new responses (yea, I could've gotten them through e-mail, but what a hassle that was having to sign into two sites at once).

Bioshock Infinite is a really fun game and just dropped some more DLC. I have to go check that out. I bought the season pass for all the DLC. I could've done without the first one that just gave you a Horde type challenge though. I only want more story missions. I love the environments and the story in the Bioshock games most of all.
