How about any games that aren't on the Wii I play on the PC then, that should cover it.

That works, BTW it's still your turn!

Can I just say that considering that this little petite Chinese girl is almost smaller than her chosen instrument...wow. She's got some amazing talent. Warning: the below video is somewhat NSFW, even though the images in question are semi-blurred. I am seriously considering dropping the 160 MSP to pick this up for RB3.

Ah, I'm torn. There are a few I'm considering. Two from Clutch (50,000 Unstoppable Watts and The Mob Goes Wild), a new (by new, I mean new to RB3, not a new song) one this week from Faith No More (From Out Of Nowhere), and older one from The Tragically Hip (Blow At High Dough). There's also some other DLC I'm considering. I've finally got to back to playing Deadrising. Excellent game, and I love the concept of "anything as a weapon". Cash registers, baguettes, shower heads, cardboard boxes, soccer and bowling balls, as well as more traditional stuff, like bats, 2x4's, and guns. Also, some character DLC for another zombie game I have that is decent - Onechanbara. And others. Of course, I currently only have 400 MSP, so that's why I'm torn.

By the way, her name is Tina Guo (she pronounces it like "gwow"), and she also does new age and traditional classic stuff. Check out her stuff with guitarist Matt Zane (aka Lord Zane).

That's awesome, thanks Lance! I think I am gonna pick that up, I've been wanting to get it, I checked and our local Game Stop in Ukiah has it in stock as well.

I'll just leave this here.

So my ****ing TV died tonight, and L.A. Noire arrives tomorrow, this is not a good combination.

Hey, look at it this way, you get to go TV Shopping today! Stay with Sony, Sharp, Samsung, Panasonic, LG, but stay away from the Vizio's, Funai's and the other "econo" brands.

Yeah, I've never had any luck with Wal-Mart electronics. I got my Samsung from Best Buy, and I love it. Also, watch out - while most tv's now are 1080p, some are still only 720p, so check the box! Or maybe it's time for 3DTV? If I'm not mistaken, LG's glasses are among the cheapest, but the glasses have to match the brand of the TV. So many choices...

Something against Vizio? I've had my parents 42 inch for 4 years I think, and not a problem with it!

I was thinking the same thing. I wouldn't lump Vizio with the other house brands. They used to be considered the best value in HDTVs but more recently reputable reviewers are simply calling them one of the best period. I do really like the picture I've seen on Samsungs though.
