Hmmm.

Commercials for Need For Speed: Underground and Project Gotham Racing 2 continue to look pretty cool.

Xbox people out there, is one of them better than the other? Worth rents? Worth buying?

In other news: Portion control is really starting to show a good effect.

A single order of chinese food lasted for 4 different servings. One pint of Ben and Jerry's lasted for 5 days. The loaf of bread I bought to go with soup has lasted a week. At lunch yesterday, I got a chicken finger basket and left fries and even a chicken plank uneaten because I just didn't feel the need to eat it.

I'm starting to eat like a normal person, I suspect, rather than munching down on all in sight. It's nice.

2 loads of laundry down, 1 more to go, I think.

PGR2: Pretty, can test alot of the cars, but can't choose a car to race with in the game per track, that's redetermined.

NFSU: Amazing Graphics, highly conifgurable, and fun to watch, too

Hmmmm. Definite points for NFSU. Have you messed around with Live at all on PGR2 to see if there's any advantages there?

I don't have an X-box, so I've only played NSF:U. The game is pretty fun. While no, you can't test drive cars, you know all that upgrade stuff you bought? You bought the stuff. So, you switch to a new car. All that stuff carries over. And honestly, money is no object in that game. No, really, it's not. Things are dirt cheap, and you trade cars. So you only pay, like...5000 in game or something. Mind you, by the time you're switching cars, you're floating in cash. And again, all your stuff carries over.

And yes, you can do half a million things to your car visually. I say half, cuase the other half is so horrificly gaudy you wouldn't want it NEAR your car. :p

PGR2! As mentioned above/before, you can try out the cars before you plunk down hard-earned tokens on them.

X-Box Live will help; since you're on that you'll be able to download new cars through the service as they become available. Part of the showroom is reserved for XBL cars.

You can race anything from SUVs to fancy Lotus cars nobody on Earth can actually afford.

You can crunch the hell out of a VW Beetle.

The Kudos system is neat.

Also, the average age of PGR players seems a bit older than the NFS crowd, which means you'll be dealing with generally superior car geeks when you talk about it. :-)

You need to at least rent it. IMO, it's the most appealing racing game since Ridge Racer 4.

Yay for you!!

Smaller portions are always more exciting. Leftovers make for good, cheap meals, as well as it's just cheaper when you don't feel hungry all the time.

Me, I'm on the metabolism-boosting vitamins as well as the gym because bloat blows.

I like them. :D

And yeah, I've thought about doing metabolism stuff, but I want to stick to good old fashioned eat less and excercise until I talk to the doctor again.
