Sweet Jesus, 26? You're a fucking geezer, Jaime!

I totally dig the fact that you arn't laser focused on topics. I dig
the total meandering pace, the whole "we will talk about games when we
goddamn please" motif you two engender. It rocks!

Which games did Scott recommend? I couldn't tell because Tommy
freaking mumbled the names. The next game in my queue is I Was An
Atomic Mutant, by the way.

re: ESRB and Politicians. ya know, for the issues that really matter,
Californian democrats are almost always on the ball, but when they get
bored, they pull shit out of their ass and fuck with our industry.

This is the part where Jaime threatened to not talk. Derek crys while
listening.

30 seconds of muffled giggles ensue. Hilarity! Comedy gold! I love it!

Doom: Derek did an interview and David talked about Doom: the movie!
wicked crossover! They should have called the movie Doom: Knee-Deep
in teh suck. Super Mario Brother keeps it's crown as the best
videogame movie.

Most Looked forward to system: I did not vote as I will get each
system as they launch. I am a tool of the videogame conglomerate.
The Slimline PS2 kind of looks like what I put on my sandwich just
now. It is that fucking small, and I eat really disgusting shit, I
guess. I asked David at Gamestop the trade-in value of an old PS2 and
he told me $10 cash.

The PS1 didn't come down in price until after the PS2 came out, 5
years after the launch of the PS1. So, if history repeats itself, the
PS2 shold drop to $99 Christmastime next year. Memory card prices
have gone down. at launch the 8MB memory card was $35. But I agree,
still fucking outrageous, considering that a 256MB memory stick cost
me $40 a couple weeks ago.

Tommy's memory cards are gay. (Jaime says interesting, I say gay)

This is the part where I pass out for a bit.

PS2 Harddrives are $99 with a copy of Final Fantasy XI, and they DO
NOT work with the slimline PS2.

I have never had a good experience with an offbrand memory card, they
have all fucking died within 3 months of purchase.

I have a theory abou thte Xbox 360. I think 360 refers to the
pricepoint. Every time they drop the price they change the name of
the machine, so they try to fool the consumers into buying the machine
over and over gain. okay, dumb joke.

Elija wood is indeed the host for the MTV thing. He is not an MTV VJ,
he is Frodo. Frodo will unviel the Xbox. Cue creepy "Twighlight
Zone" music.

Susan, heh.

Derek will make a promise, right here, right now. If Jaime and Tommy
go to E3 next year, Derek the Cheapass will scrape up the money
(perhaps he will drop buying the good games entirely for the rest of
the year, and only play the cheap ones to save some dough) and join
the boys at the event. *Note* Derek is neither a stalker, nor an
axemurderer. Hooray!

Derek passed out for a little bit again here.

Hacking the PSP: First thing I did when I got mine was to put a porno
on it, proving yet again that if it has a screen, Derek will put porno
on it.

Derek's girlfriend is very fucking cute. And not really his fiance.
But no, you arn't in trouble. Speakerphone kicks ass, but doesn't
record too well.

So when are either of you going to be on Skype? Only saw you once,
and you had it set to away.
