I've had the opportunity to play Brawl. Actually on launch day, when a few of my friends got it, we played from midnight until 9 in the morning. We spent most of the time unlocking characters. It was nuts.

Now that I've played it over at my friends place, I don't seem to like the game as much as I thought I would. Sure, the amount of extra content and 1-player stuff is great, but Brawl feels toned down and slow. The great thing about Melee was the extreme chaos and all the stuff going...

Every week my University has this thing called Late Nite on Thursdays Fridays and Saturdays. Basically lots of events happen such as video games, movies, music etc. There's also discounts on things such as pool or ping pong during these hours.

Well I hadn't gone to Late Nite for a while and decided that I should go since I finally got an Engineering presentation over and I was feeling much less stressed.

First thing I did there was find Call of Duty 4 playing on a screen....

omg I just bought a PS3 for $275 shipped

The hard drive is fried but I can get a new one for $50 or so. That's a standard 20GB Playstation 3 with a 60GB HDD for ~$325. Not bad for less than an external Blu-ray reader
