The 360 is my favorite out of the current consoles, but I didn't get one at first. I waited until it had enough games I wanted to play to warrant a purchase. That's what'll happen with me on the new Xbox as well.
Congratulations on your weight loss! I just know you're going to reach your goal in no time!
Since I'm trying to gain weight and muscle, my goals are a bit different, but I'm happy to say that over the past few months, I've put on about ten more pounds. I'm around 210 lbs., but I'm not fat or anything. Not super buff either, but at least I look totally different than when first started doing this right after graduating college and only weighed about 130 pounds.

The gameplay was different, but Konami was doing something like this with their characters with the Wai Wai World games on Famicom.
I just figured I died a lot in the Transformers game because I'm not very good at that type of game.
Thanks for the 'upadates.' :)
When I was listing my categories for Best Games of 2012, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron won my 'best 3-D adventure' category. I'm not really very good at third person shooters, but I really got into that game. That's a Transformers game done right. Forget Hollywood, Fall of Cybertron is how Transformers should be.
The Tomb Raider artbook I recently reviewed was also well done.

A 'talking to,' huh? Well I hate to disappoint, sooooo... (cue DKC Cranky Kong music)
You know if you had asked me about ten years ago, I would've had all sorts of positive advice to give you about being a game reviewer. But after the dot.com bubble burst and everything kind of went down the crapper for my professional game revieweing dreams, I'm not as positive as I once was.
So why am I still reviewing games? Well, because I'm too stupid and stubborn to quit. I don't really get too many games to review before the release date, and I also have to review a lot of things others wouldn't even touch, like Monster High: Skulltimate Roller Maze, for instance. You gotta take the good with the bad.
You can wish to review games all you want, but if you really want to do it, you just have to get started! Don't expect to get early copies of games right away, and you probably won't get paid for your work either. But I MIGHT be able to help you get started, so expect a PM from me here shortly.
And speaking of Animal Crossing, here's an article that you might like that I just wrote.

The guide I got was paperback and it still had all the good artwork in it.
Sorry about that. The PS Slim was pretty cool. About the size of a Schlotzky's sandwich, too!
