I think they said he won the first as well, at least that's how all the polls were going when they popped up lol.

Obama did muuucchh better than the last time when Mr 47% dominated. How I wish Ron Paul was nominated :-\

The Meerkat4201d ago

Gary Johnson would have wiped the floor with both Romney and Obama and would have changed the two party system forever.

If only he had been allowed into the debates.

But I agree with you on Ron Paul, he's the best President america never had.

Well here is hoping Obama wins the Election as well. I wouldnt want for Bush Junior(Romney)to run the Country!

zeeshan4201d ago

Lol so true. Im not a huge Obama fan but... I'd vote for him anyday over Mr. Governor. I am one of those "47%" ppl afterall.

Ace_Pheonix4201d ago

Bush Jr? What the hell are you talking about? So what's Obama then? Jimmy Carter Jr? Because, surprisingly, he's even worse than Carter. But hey, if you'd rather see Obama run our nation into the ground, I'll be glad to stand by you and watch it all burn.

paddystan4201d ago

Romney has very equal politics to Bush, they have mostly the same politics. That's why people call Romney the new Bush.

WetN00dle694201d ago

LMFAO!!!! Im digging Bush Jr's Binder Full of Women! I wonder if i vote for his sorry ass he will let me take a peek at this binder.

THE_MACGREGOR4201d ago

so your comfortable with your current president sinking the countrys deficit more than the past 45 presidents combined ? Where are the changes he promised as of his elections. Dont be a puppet kid. hopefully your not 18 yet.

WetN00dle694201d ago

Well its kinda hard for a President to try to lift and fix the previous Presidents(Bush) fck ups. And that is a fact! Bush before he stepped down fcked this Country up!

paddystan4201d ago

I'm not American, I don't like neither Obama or Romney, but if I was American, I would have voted for Obama, not the new Bush.

Knight_Crawler4201d ago

The new Bush Jr is not that bad and he is smarter than the Bush Jr.

They only thing that annoys me about the new Bush Jr is that he has no personality and acts like a robot or cyborg. I can the new Bush Jr being one of those puppets with strings.

dazzrazz4201d ago

I would vote for nobody ! Despite what they have to say whoever wins still won't do shit for another 4 years

Xbox 360 Turns 18: Three Cheers to Live, Halo, and Red Rings

The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.

Great platform, and many of its games (not bc) still hold up well to this day. Like the PS3, I keep a 360 hooked up for those games you can't play any other way.

The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.

TheBrainZ149d ago

So many brilliant games. I still have one stored somewhere.

LG_Fox_Brazil149d ago

I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces

I remember when Live turned five and they had special edition controllers made and everything. Kind of wished they would do that again for the 20th.

Happy Birthday. OG XBL (and later 360 XBL) really revolutionized online gaming on console.

Crows90519d ago

Never understood the obsession with live...but I was gaming online on PC so not sure too much of what live did that the PlayStation didn't.

Profchaos519d ago

I had a PS2 and it's online experience was fine but it didn't have the same level of polish voice chat never worked for me but I was trying to play from Australia where not many people played PS2 online to the point where many devs simply dropped the online mode from the pal version.
That's not all PS2 games mind you there were plenty that worked perfectly but it was more on the dev and not the platform

During that era I also played a fairly large amount on online PC games and they were undoubtedly better than both systems. PS2 from functionality and Xbox because it was free

Playing my friends original Xbox it was a really polished experience it felt robust yet simple things just worked there was zero config.

Crows90519d ago (Edited 519d ago )

Yeah but the time ps3 came the experience was the same on both based on what I played...not too much online though to be honest. But I do think that the xbox did help bring online into the console space a lot. As well as PC games to consoles.

Profchaos519d ago (Edited 519d ago )

Today would of been the perfect day to drop halo 2 the original bc version free on gwg.... If only
