My apologies, DSGamer. I got carried away with rants, which clearly do not belong in this thread (some would argue, any thread).
Although as I feared there don't seem to be any games right now, aside from PSN stuff and BC PS2 games, that differentiate a PS3 from a 360, as far as I can tell. Maybe I'm missing some gems.
Cue Certis and his oft-professed love for Metal Gear Solid III (emulated) and IV (native).
stupid rant
stupid rant: the phantom menace
Man I heard about this last night but I have been so busy, I haven't had time to post. I am glad to hear you are doing relatively OK. I hope your recovery is quick and everything turns out alright.

Knowing your love of co-op and how much fun you had messing around in Forge from Halo3, I think in October when Little Big Planet comes out, I know there will be one very happy DSGamer. I think that is the game that will push me over the edge on buying a PS3.
DSGamer, have you had a follow-up visit yet about your spine? Any verdict?
I'm really sorry to hear about this man. Get well soon!
We'll see. So far just healing and waiting. My primary care doctor, while more hopeful of a good recovery, said I shouldn't go to work next week. She didn't want me to. So I'm staying out of work next week. I have the vacation/sick time for it, thankfully.
I always forget how harsh sick leave is on your side of things. Work wouldn't see my ass for weeks!
Are you in any pain? If not is it because medication is controlling it, or are you just not in pain period?
(Hope the answer to the first is a no)
Enjoy your PS3!
Hey, enjoy the meds; getting injured is never fun, but might as well make the most of it.
Seriously though, best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Pain meds are controlling it *ok*. When I'm not on them I'm often in pain still.
Be *very* careful with the meds. Pain meds-- especially those you're taking for back injuries-- can be super addictive. When I used to work in a pharmacy we had to keep all the schedule 2s locked up and we had to take them out and count each individual pill every couple of months.
I hope your follow up goes well. Good to hear your thumbs are fine
Sounds like you're doing everything right. That's good to hear. CIIs can be nasty.
May figuring out that you don't need them anymore come swiftly to you, sir.
Continued prayers and best wishes for your recovery, DS.
And for what it's worth, Chicago law expects bikes to be on the road and obey all the same vehicle rules as everyone else (signaling, stop signs, one-way streets, etc.).
Something fun I took last night and thought I'd share...

You've given up biking and are going to hitchike from now on?
Hey man, I've been googling and I think I finally got the name: Heliopsis helianthoides. In Spanish it's called Chilicuau (some people call it chilcuague, in English it's refered as False Sunflower), it's a stem but the healing properties are downright magical.
Back in the day, when I skated (on the streets, not sure how to say it in english) I fell more than a couple of times (face first in some cases), not a single scar thanks to that plant.
If you can find it, it will help a lot.
(I know I'm sounding like a witch doctor or a herbal hippie of some sort, but you should really look into it).

I have also found plants in Mexico that made me feel better.
Some of my friends buy plants from Mexico that can make you feel better. What a coincidence?
(How did I miss this till now?)
Less talk more Shop!
I'm thinking you need one of the cars from Death Race to get around from now on.
*removed
hehehee the thread is back on track, or not!
Wow, I guess being late to the party of well-wishers is my punishment for not checking the site for most of a week. Glad to hear you're okay-ish and all, and the photoshops are just golden. You should print them out and make a scrapbook, maybe put them in a photo album so when you're all old and forgetful you can remember the good old days when you were a space marine, a Sith Lord, and a Heavy Weapons Guy.
Goodness gracious :S
Hours later you're already posting
After I face planted into the rear view mirror in a car wreck earlier this year, the last thing I wanted to do was get online
But I did think about getting something awesome with the insurance money :]
I hope you recover quickly!
Holy cow. I need to visit the forums more often. DS, I am so sorry to hear about your accident, and glad to see you are recovering and in good spirits. My thoughts are with you.
