Oh, god, I can't decide. If I dev, then I think you should dev. If I go out and be social for once, I think you should do Fallout... I'll have to vote after I figure out my own plans!

Gah.. now that I see this game, I'm not sure which console to get.. PS3 or XBOX..

I want to play Metal Gear 4 real bad, but Fallout 3 is said to be exclusively for XBOX.. FU*K!

I can see the outcome of this.. I'm not gonna get either cause of my indecision.

Devving has my vote.

Mostly because all of my friends try to get me to play WoW and Warhammer, but I resist because that would only cut into my dev time.

Then again, it's Friday, and it's Halloween, do whatcha feel!

My room mate does absolutely nothing but come home from work and sit on his ass all day and night on WoW. He doesn't socialize, he doesn't get to see vaginas, he just sits there in his room wasting his life away on WoW. It's really sad if you ask me. He has been playing that game for going on 4 years. Every time he gets his character to 70, he starts over and gets another one to 70. There's absolutely no stopping him.

I refuse to become that.
Oh let me tell you a story: I had this friend when I first went to college for my Associate's and he and I were definitely top of any programming class, we'd do every project together, work together on everything and we were on the same level the whole way through... that is until he got WoW. You see, our small school decided to give every student a laptop for our classes and what not, but they were ours to keep as well. Well, as soon as he got WoW, he would play it throughout every class, come late to classes, I'd get IMs about him not starting his homework, asking for help again and again. We don't talk much nowadays, he kept to his elf self and I went on to you know... get a job, fiancee, go to back to school for my bachelor's.


Cypher - I'd get the 360, games usually come out sooner than the PS3 version, less bugs, more developers, etc... It's definitely one of my favorite consoles. MGS4 is a great game, and we got a PS3(layaway) just to play it and it was great... but it will be coming out for the 360, trust me. And I think Fallout is for both the PS3 and 360, I'm playing it on the PC myself.

Yeah, my "friend" and I were going to work on getting started in game development together, that went to shit. Looking back, I guess that's why it took me so long to get started with it, because I almost had a group of reasonable people that wanted to work on this together, we all parted though. Kind of discouraging. I think I'm the only one still trying to be a game developer from that group.

The voting's neck and neck!
I realized the moment I fell into the fissure that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned.

I know! How is one suppose to make up their mind? I'm still waiting for Falco to tell me what to do as he laid out in the first response.

Yeah, I think that sounds good. I don't think I'm in the mood for a billion different quests to remember.

I did the Halloween social thing last weekend.

The trick or treaters are gone, and I've got a beer at my side. Let the devving begin!
