I think Barbecue pizza may qualify.

I... don't... know...

I tend to think not. But... um... it very well might be possible.

Ever played Ghost Recon?

The original? Yeah, I did. I wasn't a fan.

I loved Advanced Warfighter, though. That game is practically a 360 essential.

I would have to totally agree.

Ever played Forza 2?

Yes. I rented it... and was playing it too much. I took it back.

Great, great game.

What are the reasons you dislike Oblivion?

In no way do mean that like, "Gosh you're stupid, how could you not like this game!?", I was just curious.

Sure, I can give you reasons:

1) It's an unpolished mess. Whereas a game like GTA4 rises above the mediocrity of its individual parts to create something quite compelling, Oblivion is glitchy, sprawling and frightening (for reasons that it shouldn't be).
2) The story is terrible. I want a story that permeates game play, not something that's, you know, sort of required to finish the game, but you really don't have to if you don't feel like it. Look, the world is ending. How about you go and find out if so and so became a vampire? Oh noes, you got bitten by the vampire. Oh, look, a castrated body. Which brings me to...
3) What's with this game and castration?
4) The characters. Every character looks like it belongs in one of two kinds of movies: a Clive Barker flick, because they literally scare me like Pinhead, or a Uwe Boll flick, because of the wooden acting. Faces. Don't. Look. Like. That.
5)The size of the game. It's too big for its own good. I want focus. I don't want to come back to a game a month later and forget what I was doing because the quest log isn't coherent and I've been out of the game for a month. I want to go back and remember what I was doing because of context. For example... I haven't played Kingdom Hearts II in almost a year. Haven't beaten it. But I still know where I am in the story. Can't do that with Oblivion. It's unfocused. I can't stand that.

Fair enough.

That's one hing that bugs me about Morrowind. The diary is kind of nearly useless. It could have been much better.

Also, what is the difference between Ghost Recon and GRAW?

When they take place.

Also, perspective. GRAW on the 360 is a third person, squad based action game. It eschews the slow, plodding pace of the first games in the series with constant action, constant pressure, and really pretty graphics, all while keeping the strategic elements that the series is famed for alive.

Sounds less irritating.

Fun as it is, crawling through bushes for five and a half minutes only to get shot in the head get's old after awhile.

Can you put your leg behind your head?

No. And I don't want to try.

I'm in too much emotional distress right now to think about physical anguish.

GRAW or Rainbow 6 Vegas?

Rainbow Six Vegas.

I enjoyed that one a ton more.
