My brother got an Xbox game for Christmas that was a combination of all the Mega-Man games in one, and he's still playing the crap out of it. I find the NES games were funnest of all.

I see what you mean about the number of games. But the games that I see on it are pretty sweet. I guess it's the whole worn-down-to-a-stub issue of power vs. fun in gaming. - Ben - RE4 really is that good. They put tons of effort into everything, and it shows. - Brett:-

I've recently gone and seen probably every movie in theaters, yet, I've hardly played any video games. I swear, I haven't touched my Xbox in months, except to play CDs and DVDs, and I haven't touched my GameCube in a while because I haven't got any interest in the games that I own. I really need to catch up on RE4. Is it really that good? I haven't played it at all, just read some reviews. I'm totally the opposite.

I never thought I'd be into the DS but Nintendo has this awful habit of making everything they touch just plain fun. I can't resist that shit! On the other hand, the PSP doesn't really have much to offer. They hardly release any games for it and I'm not at all interested in watching movies on it. @dave: I've been doing some reading up on XBMC. Didn't think I'd be too into it, but now that BSG is back on, it might come in handy. Trying to burn a video in XVID format to DVD is a pain in the ass. @Soyuz: Do it! Take that break! You'll feel better once you've had some time away. @Kim Rom: Definitely hear you on that. Luckily, I have a few close friends that are in the same field, not to mention my co-workers. So I have lots of people to bounce ideas off if I need to. @James: I hear you on the quality of the DS vs PSP.

Working from home was killing both me, and my creativity. Getting input, ideas and inspiration from people around you is important - being holed up in the same house or flat can't be healthy in the long run. ;-) I ran a small business for 3 years (a Counter-Strike community site), and the best thing I ever did was to get an office.

I spent almost all day staring at the monitor. I have so much things to be done but right now I feel so bored. I'm afraid it will affect my work results but the tight deadlines chasing me :D. Man, I think I'll second you, pull out my dvd player or my PS 1. I didn't finished my Metal Gear Solid :D. Or perharps continue my Gangster 2 on PC. You made me realize it's been a long time since my last entertainment time. Pheww.. I really need a break.

I had to pick up a DS and Mario Kart this week after spending some time with it... always been a Nintendo kid, so it wasn't a hard sell. It doens't have the same geek hack factor as the psp, but it's great for that quick 15 minutes fix of repetive game play. The modded xbox has been one of my best investments. Mostly for XBMC, being able to stream movies and music off a samba share is a amazing. The emulators see a lot of use too -- can keep the atari, nes and snes in the closet. Man, I hear you.
