PS this is just a joke
We were just talking about this yesterday and I don't know not too thrilled so far about what I've been hearing about the xbox 360.
anyone see zelda videos yet? They are insane!
links!
oooooooh yay i'll buy you all three of these!
lol here we go again
I love the gamespot coverage of Oblivion. I'm still hoping it'll be an xbox 360 launch title. From the interview, it seems like they're almost done developing it. They're just tweaking. :)
Yes! Oblivion will be a launch title!!!
did you see the HD footage of the game yet?
Yes! It's so amazing. I'm so looking forward to it! They're not giving away too many details of the storyline, but in a Morrowind expansion, I found a book called "Oblivion" and it talked about what I think the storyline will be; who the new villian is. :) I'm such a sleuth!
nice journal entry i didnt have enough patience to go finding info on these
but like, im thinking why not just get a new computer?
blue ray discs are insane! 90GB?
