Okay, how about this.

To go online with my Xbox, I use an ethernet cable to plug it into the wall. There is only one outlet for internet in the room where my Xbox and computer are, so I have to switch out.

Recently my Xbox decided to stop going online. I have tried different cables to plug it in, but it doesn't want to connect to the internet. When I test the connection, it says that there is a problem between the network and my internet.

I don't think that there is a password, I have never needed one before. I know that my wireless internet has a password, but I don't use it.

When I plug my computer into the outlet, it works fine, but my Xbox has decided not to go online for some reason.

Thoughts?

Though I agree with you that casual gamers are ruining gaming, I don't agree with why you think it.

I think that casual gamers are hurting everyone else because more time is being spent on easy games that you can pick up and play for five minutes in the day and leave for tomorrow, or next week, or a month from now. Not enough in-depth games are being made (specifically for the Wii and DS). Xbox 360 and PS3 are much better about it, but because Nintendo is aiming more for a casual gamer now, they've come to forget about more in-depth games. As I've been saying for a long time now, the Wii is an amazing system if you don't have one. If your friend has one, and you go there to play it every now and then, it's great. But for just playing by yourself (besides a very small amount of games) it's no good.

Buy the original FF7. They couldn't remake it and have people still love it for what it was.

And also, as for the side stories for FF7, they really need to let FF7 die already. They've made too much and it just seems cheap.

Halo 3 was very over-anticipated for a game that had some tweaks from the previous two, but overall disappointing. That being said, Halo was a fun game for what it was, it just never lived up to the hype. I think that Call of Duty 4 brings a much more realistic game to the table, and overall more enjoyable. I played all the way through both of the games and I can honestly say that I would rather play through Call of Duty 4 again rather than Halo 3, as it was just more fun to play. Basically, both are good games, but I think that Call of Duty 4 was much better than Halo 3, and would be worth buying over Halo.

But really. Gears of War was better than the both of them. :P

My god, it's the worst 30 hours I've ever spent. I rented it for the week, wanting to like it. I liked Tales of Symphonia, and I was hoping for this to give me something to play that's like it.

Don't keep your hopes up on that one.

The names got annoying fast. Polka, the main character, was one of the most annoying girls I've ever heard speak, and if you've seen my dating record, that's a huge accomplishment and not in a good way.

The story... There are no words to describe how terrible it was. I played through the whole thing, before anyone starts tearing into me. I know you will, but just one less thing. Anyway, back to the story. You go through the whole time, with Frederik Chompain or something (forgive me for the spelling errors) saying over and over again that it's his dream. And guess what the twist is? It is! Gasp.

Also. The love interests. At one point of the game one of the characters says that she loves another one. Want to know how it turns out? So would I. Never touches it again. Maybe it is in some sidequest, but I used those characters along with the main one whenever I could, and nothing. The second love interest is between the two main characters. A 16 ish year old and an 8 year old. I'm not sure, she could be 10, but that's still really weird. Up to 14 would be weird. And then there are some flirting midgets who fight about who's taller... I don't care what anyone says, it's not funny, and it gets oldfast.

My last point. The acheivments. You get 10 points for every ending of the chapter or whatever it is, and I forget if it's 50 or 100 to beat the last boss. Now, I played through it all, as I've said before. I sat through the whole damn ending, and all the credits. No acheivment. This is more of a personal thing, I don't know if it's just mine, or if other people have it, but that pissed me off. 120 GP for the 30 hours of play. And the rest of it, you have to play through it all AGAIN! No words can express the joy that I had when I learned of this. Anyway. Bad game. Rent it if you must.

Guitar Hero II, Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy XII, and Resident Evil 4. Oh, and all the Ratchet and Clank games.
