So, you think enough people are freaking out over the controller? I feel like playing DVDs with it. Like pause, fast forward, rewind, slow motion... All wonderful buttons to watch a movie with.

Truth be told, the controller offers a lot of possibilities, and since I'm probably going to get all the systems anyway, I'm not really horrified by change. Nintendo Revolution WILL be an AWESOME party system. It will convert PC and Arcade games really nicely. I bet just swinging the thing around will allow us to have Punch-Out. Just wrap your hand into a fist, and start swinging. Uh-oh look out! Piston Honda is gonna get you! Swerve away and dive. Then there's the whole controller shells that are being made which will help not scare away 3rd parties. But a friend and I believe that since cube games will be playable on the system, that Nintendo Revolution will be able to read Cube controllers (maybe via the wavebird?) allowing people to fallback onto that. So anything is really possible.

I think the graphics for Metal Gear Solid 4 and Devil May Cry 4 have been the first graphics for a next gen system that have really impressed me and said, "Okay. That can't be done with our current systems." Capcom's Dead Rising looks really fucking sweet also, and I kind of want to know when it comes out. I mean if Xbox 360 gets it soon (since Xbox 360 comes out here in November, and I don't know when PS3 is officially coming in America), I might want to get Xbox 360 sooner to play such a game. The next gen Sonic the Hedgehog looks nice too. I was a huge fan of Sonic growing up. I collected the Archie comics until 6th grade.

As for Coheed fans, one of my favorites from the new CD has to be The Willing Well II: From Fear Through The Eyes of Madness.
