I just added a perfect stranger to my Facebook friends list because she too is playing Ponzi, Inc. A newer FB game where you run a business and hire workers. It's pretty fun and I need more friends to build my pyramid scheme.
I never add FB friend requests I don't know through at least a few friends or cartoonists, until now. Social games may not make me more social IRL, but I admit I have made a few new "Neighbors."

Disgaea Infinite visual novel for PSP releases this May
Disgaea Infinite visual novel for PSP releases this May
Like whoa! Disgaea one and two for PSP are my brothers #1 game if you count hours played. I'm not a fan of any grid based battle system, myself (this may be due to my personal lack of spatial cognition), so the game did not suck me in. But a visual novel! Why, that sounds mighty like a comic...

Mass Effect Returns - In Full Effect?
I'm anticipating Mass Effect 2 with less bloodthirsty lust than my friends, although I enjoyed the roleplaying of Mass Effect 1 I found the lack of treasure disappointing (is there no treasure in space?), and the graphics and weapons were great but not mindblowing. Once I started getting really into the roleplaying, I was dropped into the super annoying mini game of navigating a boring terrain that was terribly hard to control. My friends told me that was pretty much the rest of the game, with far less roleplaying, so I declined to finish. I've since heard the planetside minigame is much easier to control on PC, hence the whole experience more enjoyable.
I assume they'll make up for the annoying planetside controls in the next Xbox version, but at the same time my confidence in the game isn't at the same level as for, say, BioShock 2.

11-Year-Old Girl Chases Xbox Robber With Crutch
It would seem that the women of today are willing to fight you over the claim they don't like video games as much as men. With whatever they have on hand, as plasma guns not usually handy.

iPad!
Am I the only one here thinking about video game possibilities for iPad? Not just playing them on a bigger mobile touch screen, but making them on a big mobile touch screen. Imagine drawing a video game and then playing it. Or drawing a character and then animating it, without the need of a monitor. I've been waiting for this a very long time ineeed, my friends...
They told me to learn the Wacom and other web comic stuff, to make it in the modern world. But I've honed my IRL skills for too long to give up now - I'm wating for technology to come to brush and paper. We're getting closer!
