A Good Mate

Okay, so my friend Brian Gu is going to Korea for six weeks. While he's away, he is letting me borrow his XBOX360, all of his games and the complete hookup for Rock Band.

I know it's silly to objectify the value of a friendship with material goods, but this is just an incredibly generous gesture!

yea you think so? ... i dont see anything too generous. i mean, its great, yea, but hes gone and doesnt need his stuff anyway... this more goes without saying if you ask me.

Granted, but of the tons of friends he has he let me borrow it and he could have just as easily let it idle at his house where it is more safe. It shows a great deal of trust and random acts of kindness like that make the world a better place in my opinion.

too bad oblivion sucks like hell

Oblivion does not suck like all hell. Your mom does... last night.

But no seriously, you didn't like Oblivion? I'll admit Morrowind was a better overall gaming exprience (even though it's not one of my favorites), but I love the world of Oblivion. It's way more immersive than Morrowind in my opinion (but to be fair that's mainly due to the graphics.)

the graphics were awesome, indeed. but oblivion is just soulless. I admit, it does not suck like hell, but I got so disappointed by the developers own expectation-rising previews.
"the whole world of oblivion will be lively, people will go to work, to bed, if you steal their money they have to steal food..."
what? you ever seen that? they just walk around senselessly like in morrowind but scripted quest events

and morrowind was just so... dark, evil, epic, I mean which game lets you walk around and normal people will talk to you as an incarnate god?! oblivion was just too much graphics, too less heart
