I really liked my PS2 and I think the PS2 had better games than the original Xbox. I never had a PS3 and we pretty much only use my husband's Xbox-360 for movies, but I at least know that Xbox has better online/social gaming capabilities. I just hope that the PS4/Xbox 720 are closer competitors. I probably won't get either, but I like keeping tabs on the rivalry. PS3's real success was making Blu-ray win over HDDVD anyway, but they still have some catching up to do.

What? There's going to be a PS4 and Xbox 720? o.o

That we could Ari, but it's a decent chunk of change for me to spend with no real game incentive for it. It is certainly a good system, but not worth it for me right now.

Playstation does have some catching up to do, but it does have the edge of having an integrated Blu-Ray player, whereas Microsoft has as of yet to do anything beyond DVD. Have heard rumors that the next gen Xbox will have Blu Ray, so it should be interesting once they make the announcements for both of their consoles.

And those are the rumored names that fans are circulating for the next generation consoles. No idea what actual names are, but some project names have been leaked (can't remember right now).

I can't really see Play Station deviating from their consistent console names. >w> So I'm going to assume it probably will be PS4. >w>

Xbox I don't know about, nor do I really care since I'll probably never own one. XD

I'd say don't shoot it down. It's a good console, especially with how they have been reacting to their mistakes in previous incarnations and adding new features quite well. Kinect (don't have it myself) is the first to really be successful and as interactive with the console as a whole.

And yeah, it will probably be Playstation 4 (unless Sony wants to really through gamers for a loop) and the Xbox 720 (rumored name for console).

I just don't see myself ever buying it. >w> I only play on a PS3 cause my brother owns one. >w>

Lol, yeah. But I like that Sony's keeping the name real simple. Predictable and expected equals nice and reliable. :)

Well, Microsoft's isn't really all too difficult. Spawned a lot of stupid jokes though.....

I see a hideout, but I see no Sei ono

Yeah....I don't see a Sei.

Yeah, Sei really needs to post more in his own hideout. >w>

That he does....massive bother/poke Sei?

Urf, I suppose I could. >w>

*feeds thread a phoenix down thingamabober* >_>

Live, thread, liiiiiiiiivvvvvveeeeeee~♪

We can only do so much....

True, but we can still chat here. :) That should help. Hopefully. @_@

So. How are you doing tonight, Alpha? :o

It should hopefully help.

Doing okay. Been busy with classes, but keeping up. How about you Ari?

Same, busy with a couple classes I'm taking right now and Tris work too. Trying to understand my brain again, though I don't think I ever will. :| Starting to think I probably won't ever achieve complete clarity of my mind, which is frustrating, but understandable, I suppose... :|

I understand Ari. I'm doing a bit of my own writing when I'm able, and finding that I tend to have a pattern to what I write. Trying to break it a bit and test my limits some.

I don't remember the last time I wrote for fun. :( Too many papers.

@Alpha: Good luck. I hope you can get some writing done.

@Lucid: Well then hurry up and finish school then get some writing done for fun? :P

@Dave: Just a fyi, but we do have a rule against singled word posts so as to encourage more conversation between users. So try to post more than one word. :)
And hi there.

Meeeeh, I'm probably more likely to draw for fun anyway. I used to like writing crappy poems and stories when I was in high school but they were probably too crappy for me to keep doing it now. XD

Probably? What did your old writing stuff look like? :o

I dunno, it was like, dumb teenage emo poetry that doesn't make sense or follow standard poetic conventions all the time. I also wrote like half a story in second person.

I see. o3o Second person? Interesting point of view choice.

Also, why is it so damn hard to keep this thread afloat? D:

Yeah, it was interesting. It makes developing emotional character traits easier but it was really hard to write regular story stuff. But that's probably because I'm a terrible writer. XD Good writers probably know how to progress the plot in a meaningful way even in second person.

Because Sei has been away for quite a while. Sei is the lifeblood of Sei's Hideout! And he has been hiding out away from us! D:< GET'IM!!!

*shrugs* All writer's have a different style, so writing in diff povs can be harder for some writers than others. ;)

Hm, perhaps we ought to begin a search party to find him? :o

(davestrider, I'm guessing you're a homestuck fan? o 3 o?)

Ariii, Sorry I'mma bad memberrrr.
/ keeks you while doing truss member force calculations/

You're not bad, you're just busy. But I'll find a way to un-busy you.... Somehow. o3o

**passes out torches and pitchforks** Sei will be brought back here, dead or alive!

Okay, let's do this. Let us hunt for the one and only Sei, the recluse! >:D

Sei has been hard to catch as of late it seems, but it also seems that real life has been catching up to/keeping a lot of people busy.

It has indeed. :( I haven't really seen Sei on Skype much, either. :(

That makes two of us. I think I've see him on once or twice recently.

I think Suze may be actively on Skype more than Sei..... and that is saying something.

Yep, it definitely is. Haven't seen Suze around Tris much lately either now that I think of it....

I figured on both counts. Last I talked to Suze (I think two-three months ago) he was pretty sick, so no surprise that he is still sick. I'm hoping he gets better...it has to suck being like that for so long.

As for Sei, yeah...lots of work hours would do that. Definitely not a surprise...

Hmm...well, I could. Don't know how much of a conversationalist I would be though...worth a shot though. I might just do that...eventually...maybe...

I think it was a few days ago I saw him pop on...
