I confess that at one point, I was a huge XBox fan. My freshman year of college I spent hours upon hours of precious studying time killing the alien Covenant instead (like I would play anything other than Halo. Seriously.) But after taking a two year hiatus from gaming, I’ve never really gotten back into playing. There is one thing that might do it for me: the XBox 360 coupled with a really expensive friend. You see, at this point, I’m less concerned with the actual entertainment value of the game. Instead, I want to see some really, truly, amazingly awesome graphics. Imagine hooking up a new XBox 360 to a giant new widescreen plasma tv with an HDMI cable. But wait! The XBox 360 only does component out? Nothing like analog to ruin my party.

And that’s why my hiatus from gaming continues to this day. Or something like that.
