Well if you don't have any patience for tabletop or can't get a half dozen friends to drop some 300.00 for sourcebooks and models you can always give Dawn of War a try. It and it's gazillion expansions should be available on the cheap. Ah. I don't tabletop game. It's one of those things I refuse to do, like watching animé, so I can pretend I'm not a nerd.

Those are both things I'd LIKE to do, but have no clue where to start.

Medium blurring (i.e. Games that try to be comics.)
This may sound weird, but I put game disc into my Xbox to play games, not comics. It's like a film that turns into a novel or a piece of music turning into a spreadsheet or something!
Do not want.

Alan Wake never sits you down with a novel or forces you to read pages and pages of text. Just sayin'.

Anyway, XP meters that don't show you your progress to the next level. Never liked 'em.

Some games that requires you to get Windows 7 to get more bang out of your buck in terms of DX11. I'm not surprised that ME3 is going to use DX11, so yeah bugger. Windows 7 ain't that bloody cheap yah know. How can I get fucking Windows 7 damn it!?!

You don't have Vista? Pretty sure Vista supports DX 11. Of course I kinda wish I didn't have vista sometimes. Enjoying anything past DX 10 will have to wait for me to get a DX 11 card. And that will have to wait for me to get a better Power Supply unit and that has to wait a damn long time for money

Seriously half the time i dont see the difference between Russians and Americans. Might just be me, but seriously... One is an aggressive force that thinks it can rule the world. ...And the other is Russia! I kid, I kid. Thoses games subscribe to the "Real is Brown" doctrine a bit too much. Maybe that's why it's hard to tell the difference between an American and a Russian. Or an American and a rock. Or a Russian and a fence...

Oh, I really don't like MW2 most days. Or the entire CoD fanchise of late. Mostly because of the whiny, shit-talking 10 year olds I never fail to run into.

Pre-order bonuses have really been getting on my nerves lately. I mean, in the old days, if you wanted more money or to be able to hold more ammo, you just put in a cheat code. Now, you have to pay some douchebag gaming website an extra pound. A few that are/have been really irksome:
Fallout: New Vegas: I pre-ordered it from GAME just so I could get that kinda cool pack of stuff from Vault 13. I was never provided with a code (feel sorry for me... now!)
Deus Ex: Human Revolution/Assassin's Creed: These are the ones I mentioned above. You get a tiny amount of money and two useless weapons in HR, and the ability to carry around five more bullets in AC. Both of those just seem so pointless.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3: I have no interest in the game, but I noticed the pre-order bonus was just four hours of double XP in Multiplayer. What?
Batman: Arkham City: I'm waiting to see how this one turns out, but the big thing for this game is getting Robin as a pre-order bonus. For two challenge maps. Anyone who played Arkham Asylum will remember those maps take 5-10 minutes to complete. I smell a bigger DLC ahead of time, like Mass Effect 2 did with the Firewalker.

Retailers are getting obessed with pre-orders right now. Obsessed. I worry about this. I loathe DLC, especially DLC that I'm not allowed to have. That doesn't make sense but it's true.

Exclusive DLCs work towards a win for everyone but the consumer. The retailers get a special preorder bonus that ON:LY goes with their copies to entice players to buy from them. The Publisher gets more people shelling out money in advance to help pay the final development bills and the developer gets some of their payday early.
The only losers are the consumers who would feel left out if they did not get all the DLC from all sides and would feel left out by that. Don't go expecting this to go away. It won't. It's effective and therefore here to stay.
Having said that, DLC is turning into an insipid plot by some developers *coughBiowarecough* and some publishers *coughEA/Activisioncough* to release partial games and then squeeze the consumer for more money. I'd call it evil except the consumer needs to be an active participant in the process for it to work. After ME 3, a boycott of both EA and Activision sounds really good to me...
