That's strange that a few people have called them a "singles band". I always thought they were the one true American album band of the 00s, at least for mainstream music. I like all their records but nothing hits me like the raw blues of De Stijl. I give it 5 years till a reunion. Anyone else want to take bets?

My first vinyl record was Nirvana's In Utero when I was about 14 or 15. This was a good find as it was brand new and also 2002.

Also, here's what I've purchased in the past few months. It's definitely been a good time for handhelds.

Are those PSP games special editions or is the casing just bigger in Europe??

I'm predicting this will be announced for NoA release soon. Reggie has already said they will flesh out the 2011 Wii releases with some imports (which immediately bring to mind Xenoblade and The Last Story). Also it was showcased at E3 a few years ago. Now, I do hope this game takes awhile to come out through, as I have a shitload of RPGs to play through at the moment.

From IGN: Cheat: How to get Zorua Easily, No Event or Celibi Needed In your Internet settings in the DS menu, keep everything the same as usual, but change your Primary DNS server setting to this address: 205.185.126.109. You can leave the Secondary DNS setting alone. The DNS settings are a few tabs over when editing your Internet settings on the DSi. After this, be sure to save your settings (a test will occur as well). Enter the game and go to any Pokemon Center (you must have the ability to use the trading system on the upper level of the Pokemon Center, so you porbably need to be past the first Gym or so). Leave all but five Pokemon in your party so you have an empty slot for Zorua. Go to the upper levelof the Pokemon Center and Choose the girl on the far right to initiate a Global Wi-Fi Trade. Choose the setting called "GTS." You will automatically be taken to a screen where you recieve an egg. Quit out and check your party. Zorua should be in your sixth slot. Note: If Zorua remains an egg, you'll need to walk a bit with it in your party before it hatches.

Since no one I know has a 3DS, it might be a good idea to exchange friend codes with you fine fellows. Mine is 5455 - 9396 - 5192 Feel free to add me, so far the game I have is Super Street Fighter IV. EDIT: I have more 3DS games at this point. I also have a Wii U... surprise surprise my username is the_cowboy_poet.

I like the C-Gear, it's very handy if you're playing with someone else. Being able to trade any Pokemon you've caught at any time, without having to backtrack to a Pokecenter is fantastic. I only use it though when I'm playing with my girlfriend, when I'm on my own, I turn it off to save battery. It'd be great if, when it's off, instead of being an empty grid, they just put the menu down there, so you didn't need to press X.

Infamous. Have I said that yet? Yes, Infamous. Never before have I played a game with a less likeable protagonist. Fuck you, Cole. Not to mention, the way he walks around all crunched over, really bugs me. And his friend!!! His friend!! God I almost hate him more than Cole.

So what should I use my masterball on?

Hopefully they give it the Dragon Age: Origins treatment and not the Mass Effect II style of one or two short DLC missions and some extra weapons and equipment.

Does anyone know how to remove a Pokemon's nickname? Is it even possible?

There's a few things... I really hate how "linear" is the new buzz word. "Oh I didn't like that game, it was too linear". 95% of the time, you ask these people what their favorite game of 2010 was and they'll tell you Mass Effect 2. Look at that God damn level design. Similarly, I hate how it's sooo cool now to hate on JRPGs. Yeah, Final Fantasy XIII was a very well received game last year, as were most of Square Enix's major releases, so shut your piehole and go back to Call of Duty or whatever you kids are into these days. But most importantly, this whole West vs Japan thing. Unless it's a very Japanese game, like Persona, I rarely think of where a game comes from. West games are so inspired by Japanese games (and vice versa) it's sort of a moot point these days. Except I do try to support Western Canadian developers, of course. B)

Elder Scrolls V Mass Effect 3 Dragon Age II The Last Story Final Fantasy Type-0 Final Fantasy XIII-2 Dissidia 012 Uncharted 3 LA Noire Okamiden Ocarina of Time 3D Kid Icarius But most of all... Skyward Sword.

I was impressed with (as others said) Crisis Core, Dissidia, Persona 3 Portable, as well as LittleBigPlanet which I thought worked better as a handheld, at least for playing levels, maybe not creating. There's a few games I'm looking forward to... The 3rd Birthday, Dissidia, and Final Fantasy Type-0 (this summer??). I was going to pick up Gods Eater Burst but apparently that games not as great as the Japanese hyped it up to be.

Just beat Little Big Planet 2. Was a little disappointed when the credits rolled, I could have used an extra world or two. Still a great game though. I'm going to use this time now before Dragon Age II to finish off Final Fantasy XIII and Dragon Quest IX.

In chronological order of purchase... NES, N64, GBC, 360, Wii, DS, PS3, PS2, PSP, and next month a 3DS. I also have a Mac and an iPod Touch but I don't often use those for gaming. I am surprised however that 25% of us own a 360 but only 10% with a PS3.

He knew exactly what he was doing when he released that code. In my books, he's a criminal who not only doesn't deserve a dime but should also go to jail.

I picked up Marvel vs Capcom 3, LittleBigPlanet 2, and Final Fantasy IX (PSN) this week. So far I'm digging all of them.

I have that but never actually played it. The 'harder version' description put me off. Joe I've play OoT so many times I'd love to try a version where the dungeons are mixed up... Hopefully the 3DS version will have it.

''Ura Zelda'' I know it was released for Game Cube but I never owned one! Nowadays it's impossible to find.

Would Final Fantasy XI be worth getting into at this point or should I just wait for XIV to be fixed and released on PS3?

PSN: The_Cowboy_Poet I'm fairly lonely on PS3! Pretty much everyone I know is on 360 so add me if you wish. I play pretty much everything but FPS.

I voted Ocarina. Though honestly, I love them all. I've spent more time playing Ocarina than any other game. Majora's Mask is a close second. I also have fond memories playing the GB/GBC games. The Oracle games are often over looked.

I haven't owned a Pokemon game since Yellow. Though I vaguely recall playing some of Gold via a rom back in the day. I did buy my girlfriend a DSi XL for Christmas with Pokemon Heart Gold, which she has enjoyed. We're going to get Black and White and play through it together though. I'm a little bit excited. I'm going to pick the grass Pokemon as my starter and rename him SMUGLEAF.
