Stats growing and growing

If the dirt is exposed to the open air it will grow grass on it's own. If you wanna speed it up build stairs of grass blocks up to it.

I'm all for anything that takes out air support. I can't fly yet (skill wise) and its always too hard to blow stuff out of the sky.

The whole multiple disk thing is a sign of the aging console generation as well the obsolete disk format that the 360's still use. Next console generation will most likely support blu ray as the standard format before going completely digital.

I think the assumption being made by both MS and games Publishers is that most Xbox users have an Elite level or higher console so dont really take in the original 20GB HDD into account when planning out storage requirements.

I do prefer the way that 343 did it with HALO 4, a second disc with the MP content, allowing you to install it but to run it from the main disc so no disc swapping

Having to disc swap in AC3 just to try out the MP is very annoying and not handled well inside the game

[quote user="BizarroMantis"]I think it's easy for some to look down on gamers because most people know at least one that has thrown a good chunk of their life away locked in a fantasy world and has accomplished little or nothing in the real world.[/quote]Back
in '07-'08 I was sort of going down a similar path. I was a newlywed at the time, just graduated college and was holding down a good job so I don't want to give the impression I was a lazy bum.

With that said, I spent almost all of my free time playing games. Pretty much every night for several hours and almost the entire day Saturday. At the time I didn't think anything of it because I was new to online gaming and completely sucked in, especially
with CoD 4. After a couple years of this structure I started to realize that it was getting unhealthy physically and mentally because I didn't have balance in my life.

Now I try to maintain a good equilibrium of hiking and outdoor activities, quality time with my wife and daughter, and gaming. Like you said, it's easy for others to trash gamers as a whole because of those who are content to play games and have little ambition
for anything else. I will never tell someone how to live their life but it's hard to have respect or empathy for someone who leeches off their family simply because all they want to do is play games and nothing else, especially when they're fully capable of
earning a living.
