Will probably take me a whole year to collect all those pieces.

Question: Can you hook up through xbox live with friends and play online?

Yes. I've played online with Rock Band and it works pretty darn well. Especially with friends. You can play Band World Tour, which is a more limited career with an online band, band quick play and more competitive games such as Tug of War.

Cool, I'm hoping that you can put up flyers and stuff on the xbox lobby looking for vocalists and guitarists (cause most of my friends are into rap and hip hop...ugh).

I don't know what to think about RockBand being supported by MTV. On one hand, we can be sure that there will be continual support with new songs. On the other hand, we'll never see song packs from indie bands like Asobi Seksu.

Ｉ'm playing Chocotto, a Japanese online RPG lately.

And I tried my Japanese FF3 for the first time since like ever since I came back from Japan. I still don't know how to get out of the first damn area. :-\ I refuse walkthroughs!

That already looks like more fun than any of the "new" MMORPGs like Guild Wars, Lord of the rings online, World of Warcraft or Tabula Rasa.

And I don't care for GTA4 at all. GTA 1 and 2 were fun, but the rest, not really...
And somehow, despite the new engine and all, the game still looks as ugly as GTA3 used to look in the PS2

A perfect case of 'I'm so used to next-gen quality, I've forgot how crappy last gen looked'. Here's the third GTAIV trailer in the San Andreas (The best looking of the PS2 games) engine. Watch the whole thing, then watch the actual trailer.

I can understand you not liking the game though. I just can't resist a giant city to play in with Euphoria physics. You can't expect them to make it look like Call of Duty 4 when they're recreating such a huge world in such detail, but it's a VAST improvement on the past iterations.
