Should I get an Xbox 360?

Sometimes, it's weird how you talk in YouTube video links...

Only sometimes for you Thorin I always find it weird.

Ya - mass-linking every couple words is always weird - no something about it.  I don't even bother to click links like that.

then again I can't always trust my own powers of perception so who knows what actually happened now that a chunk of time has passed (PS: GAH! My brain hurts!)

Links are demonstrations of how easily our brains are tricked into ignoring/distorting objectively reality around us.

1. "Change Blindness; you cannot be aware of everything"

2. "Derren Brown - Person Swap" (more light-hearted but even more disturbing demonstration)

3. "BBC Brain Story 3 -The Minds Eye:Optical Illusion" (a.k.a. Alice in Wonderland in the real world)

And sorry to be so off-topic, but seriously I am doubting the accuracy of my memory of how the disc-scratching situation came about. I linked to videos that will pass along the self-doubting to the rest of youz guyz

Back on topic I picked up my 360 today.. Didn't get much time to play with it.

Due to a lack of available names I would prefer my gamer tag is FlammableSlinky. The EB I went to today didn't have any used Gears of War but I plan on picking it up in the next few days.
