Forget Monster Hunter. Phantasy Star is where it's at

Switch Axe is nice.

Also, on-topic, got Sonic 4, Flower, Gundemonium (as well as GundeadliGne and Hitogata Happa) and the DLC for Valkyria Chronicles. Sonic 4 is pretty solid, all the stages have 3 acts so far and each act has had something up its sleeve to keep things interesting. Boss fight is after the final act, rather than part of it.

I'll finish a performance assessment later.

AMDs (...I'll never get used to that, I swear) 6850 makes me a little sad. I mean, it's priced decently (comparable to nVidia's 460 which is where it falls in line for performance too) but the line overall feels so weak compared to the 5xxx line. Then again, the flagship card hasn't launched yet so I suppose I can't say much.

Maybe I just blew my "whoamg" to the 480/470/460 so I have nothing left for the 6xxx. Or maybe I'm just waiting for the 6950 to melt computers when it inevitably requires a dedicated power supply for it.

Though, seriously, they probably should've done 6950 first to get a "oh god yes" card out there and then the scaled back 6850/6870. But I guess they need the marketshare back from the "mainstream" line. But the 6850/6870 are _worse_ than the 5850/5870 from benchmarks thus far so it seems odd.

Though, the 6xxx line is a better DX11 card so it should "perform" better for DX11 games despite the current lower frame rate and overall "JUICE" than the old cards.[/spoiler]

I spent some time trying to figure out how to snap a shot of my Evo with my Evo. I gave up and just took a shot of the [s]microwavable lunch tray[/s] box it came in.

Scy - Couldn't you just use a mirror to take a photo?
