  Help me choosing a sig.

  Which one should I decorate my posts with?

  Option #1: An updated version of my current Samus Sig.

  

  Option #2: Braid Sig.

  

  Option #3: Dead Space Sig.

  

  I had some free time, so I made not one but two sigs and updated my current one, and now I don't know which one should I use D:

  Thanks in advance, gentlemen.

  Greetings to all.

  Where are my side-scrollers?

  I've been playing some very good 2D side-scrollers lately (you know, that awesome mix of platforming and shooting), and as always, I'm impressed by how fun -and addictive-they can be.

  I've been playing Contra 4, Mega Man X and Castlevania Circle of the Moon.

  Some mandatory pics:

  

  

  

  

  

  I can only say the three games are awesome. The gameplay, the intense action, the challenge, the graphics, etc, everything is done how it is supposed to be.

  So my question is, what the hell are Konami and Capcom doing?

  It's about time for a Contra 5 and a new Mega Man ZX.

  And Nintendo? What about a 2D Metroid on the DS? And SEGA? Where's my Sonic Rush 3?

  And the other devs? The only good side-scrollers I can remember this year are Henry Hatsworth for the DS and The Dishwasher for XBLA. That's two in 6 months... That's not enough side-scrolling, I say.

  What do you guys think? Do you want more ol' 2D games, or are you having enough fun in 3D-realm?

  Greetings to all.

  E-74'ed

  Yup. My dear 360 is momentary dead.

  Just after a little 5-hours-marathon of Gears of War 2 online and a couple of hours of Fallout 3 (has that game an end?), it happened.

  "E-74 Please contact Microsoft consumer support"

  For those of you that don't know, Error 74 is (another) hardware fault of the 360, somehow related to the video output, I've heard.

  Well, that was one of the risks I knew I was taking when I bought it. Nonetheless I'm kinda disappointed.

  Thanks to the warranty, everything will be free, but I still have to wait 2-3 weeks, short after I became Gold again...

  *Sigh*

  I'll be back to my Wii and DS. Too bad I'm broken and the last bunch of games I bought was for the 360, so I don't have anything new for any of both.

  C' est la vie.

  I'll play Super Paper Mario and Yoshi's Island again (my life's SO sad )

  Greetings to all.
