Assorted And Completely Unrelated Questions for my F-List

[seventhe]

1. Let's say Sev is thinking of asking for either an X-Box or a PS3 for Christmas. Tell me about both of them: pros and cons, games I can get, which you would recommend for someone who is kind of a shitty gamer anyway. Let's go!


2. I have a bit of code I wrote a while ago that could potentially be used for a fic exchange. I'm not sure it's going to work for DOINK in any real context, but I've been itching to try it out on a VERY SMALL and VERY UNOFFICIAL scale. Basically how it works is: every person leaves 3 prompts; I make a master list of the anonymous prompts by number; you secretly send me 3 prompts you're willing to write; the code will assign you 1 prompt to write in a way that best covers as many participants as possible. Would anybody be interested in helping me test it out on a small unofficial scale? I could call it SevMas or something. My own personal boner exchange. I'm looking for a group of people, more than 5 but less than 15. Very low key, no promises, all I want is to run my damn code like a real loser, Sev/EXCEL OTP forever.


3. I have been feeling very strangely fannish lately, probably because I've been imbibing on a lot more source material than usual: this is mostly the fault of safety_caesars/vrazdova. We are replaying FFX; I started a random replay of FFVIII when I was sick; we just watched Gundam Wing and I am rewatching it in English while I run. I'm kind of on fandom overdose. Any thoughts or liveblogs or meta posts or, god, I don't know whatever that people want to see? And/Or: if I start spamming my thoughts on GW episodes and writing massive essays on Quistis/Rinoa, please don't defriend me right away.


4. WHAT'S UP

I can tell you why I bought an Xbox 360 instead of PS3, and that is mostly because the overwhelming majority of my gamer pals went that way, and I often like to game socially. For exclusives, it's fun to go to the Wikipedia lists and sort by the appropriate column. I like to do that and sigh quietly over the PS3 games I'd like to play but can't afford a second system for, though I have no regrets.

Also, Kinect > Playstation Move (although the Move controller does look hilariously like a vibrator, so possibly this is actually advantage: PS3).

And I would love to jump in on the miniexchange! YAY TESTING
