...To the color (or lack thereof) black. Have you seen the front page? The background is completely black. I wonder how much money the absence of light threw at DToid to get this set up. Seriously Niero, I thought you had more respect than this. Even the font is in black! It really doesn't get much more opinionated than this, and I really don't know if I can trust DToid anymore.

So by now we know that Shin Oni loves Persona 3. Hell, he loves it so much he wants other people to own it so the can enjoy it too. Well, let me say right now. I want that copy of Persona 3: FES. Badly. Why? Well, some of you may remember that Gamegoblin sent me a free Dreamcast a while back, and I haven't given him a goddamn thing in return. Even though he never asked for anything back, I feel the need to make it up to him. So Shin Oni, I want you to give me Persona 3: FES so I can give it to Gamegoblin. Why not just give it to him if I'm going to turn around and send it to him? Because then I will still feel like I owe him something. ;_;

Here it is, the day after, time to look back and see what was learned during FNF. To quote a famous philosopher, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times" GTA4 was amazing when we finally got everyone on board and everything working. But it was hell getting there. A lot of people could not connect because of what I presume is the various NAT problems Kit described here. The first time we got a lobby ready to go it just stayed at the loading screen for minutes and minutes and minutes, forcing me to restart my XBawks. I know the PS3 crowd has also been having more frustrating problems than these. I remember reading something on the front page on how Rockstar wanted to overtake CoD4 and the Haloez as most played online game on XBL, and let me tell you something Rockstar, unless these issues are resolved that is never happening.
The rest of the recap is as follows:
- In a racing match, there is usually a huge gap between the first placing people and the last placing people. No such thing as a close race between more than a few racers.
- The Prison map sucks dick.
- The Mafiya and carjackers modes arent nearly as fun as the head-to-head gametypes.
- Reaprar hates my housemates.
- I don't know how people can play Free Mode for so long.
- Free-for-all Deathmatch on Happiness Island is both frantic and fun as hell.
- Some people need to learn how to use the radar.
- You can have just as good of a time with Toiders you've never met as you do with your buddies.

Yes folks, this is the first Friday since we've gotten GTA4 in our grubby little hands, so it's obvious that we would play it for FNF! I, coonskin05 will be your host tonight since Powerglove and the DToidNewYork group are going to see Iron Man. To tell you the truth I haven't played much online yet, save for a few rounds with my mengs, so I am really looking forward to seeing how awesome multiplayer is.
As always, my Gamertag is coonskin05, so add me and leave a comment with your own GT's so you can play with each other outside of FNF. I will start hosting around 10 central, which is 11 for you East coast peeps and 8 for the west coasters. See you then!
(Also, in the case that we have more people than the maximum ZServ has volunteered to be a spillover host. His Gamertag is ZServ.)

If you've been on DToid longer than a few minutes then you know that Jimmles isn't fond of a lot of things. Our resident ranter, when Jim sees something wrong, he is never afraid to call it out, and I applaud him for this. Now, thanks to the internet, I am able to see the internet just like Jim sees it. I am sharing this power with you, so you can better understand the man behind the monocle.

Hey ladies and gentleman, I just wanted to drop by to announce that the 2nd Texas NARP is now in its planning phase. I started a thread in the forums that believe it or not, exist here, for us to communicate with each other when would be the best dates for each of us and where it will be held, etc. The first NARP we had in October was an experience I won't soon forget, and hopefully this one will be even bigger. So, if you live in Texas, or even in the surrounding states, (I'm looking at you Pangloss) drop by the forums to see what it's all about.

As most of you know, I am quite anticipated for Banjo-Threeie. I was absolutely in love with the first two when they came out on the 64, and have anxiously been awaiting the 360 version. With that said, I just about creamed myself in excitement for May 13th when I saw Sterling's post. But, I do just not understand comments like this:
"If it's another mario 64 clone collectathon, count me out. Having to collect heaps of those stupid note things just to progress through the story pissed me off enough to just never want to play banjo kazooie again. "
Now, I am not trying to personally call out brad drac, but I have often seen people echo sentiments like this. Do we really have so many collectathon games that people are sick of them? No, we have no collectathon games this generation. The closest game that could be considered one would be The Simpsons Movie game, but all collecting in that game was purely optional, the levels were still completely linear.
Banjo-Kazooie did not even force you to do as much collecting as people make it out to have had. The only two things you had to collect were Jiggys and notes, and the jiggys weren't even collected but earned, and for most of the game as long as you collected notes along the paths to the jiggys you would have enough. Is that really so tough?
So, basically, what I'm trying to figure out is, why do people have such problems with collecting shit in games?

Well ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, robots and rapists, it's that time of the week again. Friday night, when we all join together to mercilessly kill each other over the interwebs. I know there has been speculation about some CoD4 tournament going around, but what I've gathered from my inside sources is that it will not be tonight. So, I guess we will just have to play CoD4 for the fun of it. I've asked around, and from what I understand no one has stepped up to host CoD yet, so I will take the responsibility upon my shoulders to lead us through the land of C4 and choppers.
My GT is Coonskin05 surprisingly enough, so add me, and around 10 pm Eastern we will declare Jihad on one another.
Finally, as always, post your GT if you're going to be joining us.
