It was my birthday a little while back.  I just got a present in the mail...a PSP!  In the Madden 09 (with GB Favre on the cover) collector's box, which of course includes the game.

I'm stoked...I've wanted a PSP for a while.

I have no idea what mods I might want, and reading these forums is like trying to decipher Klingon

You want DVDs in all the headrests, some spinners, lights underneath, and a big spoiler.

If you own stock in World of Warcraft ...sell it fast!  Warhammer Online, Age of Reconing is absolutely awesome

[General_Failure]

As a friend of mine is fond of saying, Warhammer is doomed to tank because the company that owns the Warhammer IP doesn't want video games cutting into their money from table top game sales. So, they leave out a lot of cool stuff.

On the other hand, the World of Warcraft expansion currently in beta is a mixed bag. The environments, design, and quests are awesome. The new skills are, with one or two exceptions, underwhelming. Some of the more interesting skills aren't going to be ready in time for release, so they're dumping them for half-assed filler.

I'm thinking that much like Age of Conan, Warhammer will have a huge number of first day sales, then dwindle away as the users mope on back to Warcraft.

I've played both WoW and WAR and war wins IMO hands down (or thumbs up).  I didn't stay with WoW long but Mythic has,  IMO, really outdone themselves.  The public quest system and the RvR system both allow solo players to enter the scenario easily by joining groups without being invited.   You can play as much or as little group play as you want (on 10-30 minute timers) and not have to wait for guildies or a group to form (great when starting out).  You can get a group in usually in about a minute.  We'll see.  Wow is the mother of MMO's and upstaged Mythics DAoC (WoW did a better job) and Mythic returned the favor IMO.
