I recently got the chance to play Gears of War co-op via Xbox Live and I am very happy with the experience. Online play like this allows me to have a chance to play video games with my long-time friends up north in San Francisco.
I miss the good old days when I didn't have to worry that much about work and whatnot. I could just hang out with my friends and play video games all day. Those days are gone now, especially now when I'm living in So. Cal., and I miss having the chance to play the latest games with the guys. (I've known these guys for most of my life!)
Anyway, I wish there were more games that offered the option for online co-op. I'm glad there's plenty of competitive online gaming, but I'm usually getting my ass kicked. Sure, winning isn't everything, but last place all the time gets tiring after a while. (I want to play games online, not watch them!)
I also wish that Nintendo would hurry up and let developers get their hands on the Nintendo WiFi middleware. The earlier they have the toolsets, the sooner we'll have online gaming on the Wii.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl had better learn from other fighting games' online experiences. I don't want some crappy half-assed online modes.

Finally, Megatron!
I've been dying to get my hands on the original Megatron toy for several years now. Heck, it could be at least 10 years I've been looking for a reasonable price on an unopened box.
It's been a while since I've checked eBay prices on Megatron but last time I did, the toy was hovering at around $50-100 for the varying degrees of loose-unboxed to opened-box qualities. Unacceptable to a TransFormer fan and collector like me (at least in my opinion).
So when I found out that the Masterpiece version of Megatron was going to be released, I immediately asked "how much?". Thankfully, it's not costing an insane amount but it's still pricey. BBTS has the toy for $99.99 + shipping, or roughly $110 to import from Japan. BBTS also has to modify the toy so it conforms to US law regarding toy gun-replicas. Minor downside, but I'm just to thrilled to finally being able to have a toy Megatron in his intended transformation. None of that tank crap that he's been reduced to in recent years (or whatever horror he's going to be in the TransFormers movie).
Hurry up and ship that toy to me! =D
