Hideo Kojima will be attending, so I hope we can expect something in regards to the recent tease which garnered a lot of "Metal Gear 360!!!!!1" crys (and a hilarious NeoGAF thread). Spike also (accidentally?) aired some rehearsal footage earlier which gave away an announcement of Pearl Jam's 'Ten' album for Rock Band . Anyway, I'll watch it if I'm awake and bored but expect all of the good stuff to be on Gametrailers soon after anyway.
nope, I need some sleep. But I will wake up earlier and watch the trailer of God of War 3

I'm playing through Final Fantasy IX again now that school is on hold. I just got to Lindblum and met up with Freya in the pub. Ahhhh, I'm in love with this game.

I've been meaning to get around to playing that (and VIII). God knows when I'll find time.

I'm giving up on the Spike Video Awards. Literally the worst thing I've ever witnessed. I was genuinely embarrassed watching it. An award for "Best game fueled by Mountain Dew"!? Not even Neil Patrick Harris could save it. He said "the winner is..." then stood for 10 seconds before saying "Should I have a card? Should I just say a random game?" The God of War 3 trailer was about 10 seconds long and looked like... God of War. Oh, and Keifer Sutherland just won an award. wat. Best thing so far was the brief confirmation of the Pearl Jam Rock Band DLC during a break and the announcement of a Gear 2 map pack "hitting tonight", which was a nice surprise. Oh yeah, and the whole thing started with a 5 minute musical section involving Jack Black in a diaper and Jack Black having sex with a 360 and PS3.I don't even think Kojima can save this...

"Sign up to Spike.com to see exclusive camera angles presented by Burger King".

lol.

FFIX is still a masterpiece. It really doesn't get the credit it deserves.

I don't know about it being best? I liked VIII's characters best, IX's visuals best & VII's story most! the card game in IX was pretty pointless where as in VIII it was pivotal to progress (addictive as hell too) XII was OK but felt a little soulless at times, as for spiking up like Cloud, I actually never liked him that much, I was more of a Tseng from the Turks fan! that said VI was better than the lot of them!!!

We all know that Vagrant Story's best of all.

As for what I'm currently playing? I'm going through Ocarina of Time Master Quest, I downloaded a Hi Res texture pack for it and now it's all better looking than before.

All I can say is I can't wait for this semester to be over this Wednesday so I can get going on my backed-up pile of video games.

Here's the pile of stuff sitting on my floor still in the wrapping:

Deus Ex
Red Alert 2 and 3
Command and Conquer 3
Gears of War
Call of Duty 4
Call of Duty World at War
Defcon
Universe at War
No One Lives Forever
No One Lives Forever 2
Grid
Pure

And I've got this stuff on Steam that I haven't played/finished yet:

The Longest Journey
Indigo Prophecy
Peggle
Ghost Master
Eets
Gumboy
Puzzle Quest
Rag Doll Kung Fu
Stubbs the Zombie

AND this stuff in my binder that I've had for a while and haven't played yet:

Company of Heroes
Dark Messiah of Might and Magic
Rise of Legends


I don't even know what ORDER I should play these in.....

Compared to any of the Final Fantasies, I have to agree. Vagrant Story is an extremely underrated game. It had the coolest town, the coolest bosses, the most hardcore synthesizing-like equipment system, and the coolest ending credits. Not to mention above-average soundtrack, graphics, and story. Oh, and let's not forget NewGame+, and the way the second playthrough works more like an expansion, with the unlocked side-dungeons you couldn't get into during your first playthrough. I love how every weapon you wield, has its own unique attributes based on its own history, plus the history of all the parent weapons that were used to produce it.

Vagrant Story is one of the most brilliant games to kill lots of time with, without feeling so much like you are simply going through a level grind to get bigger numbers associated with your character.

I've been playing Ocarina of time all night now! it's still one of the most fun games ever created, and the Master Quest adds a much needed bit of difficulty to keep it hard enough, that said I've not really been doing that much in it! I'm only at Zora's area (just finished getting the Goron's Spiritual Stone) the game looks awesome still considering it was about ten years ago it was released (being able to run it on a PC with higher resolutions and all kinds of tweaks helps too).
