BlogThe mobile Xbox success from my
last road trip carried over to
today as well where
Fallout 3 was the game of choice. It definitely helps make 4+ hour drive go faster, as long as my
driver holds out.
Upon obtaining Guitar Hero 5 lastnight and enjoying the new features (like non-stop drop-in/out party play) I decided to
debut it at work today. Our lunch hour was then spent with plastic instruments, cafeteria food, and as much "Ring of Fire" as we could stomach. Not satisifed with the short experience, I paid Keith and Marco (and Lindsay #2) to attend an extended session at my house where Lisa and Robbie gladly subbed in for
the Senator who decided he (or his avatar) was too good for our party. Marco and Keith left 100 achievement points richer while Robbie and I jammed on with
Jaged till the end of the night.
Upset I couldn't play any frisgay tonight on account of a Jesus picnic with Lisa, Robbie left a forlorn look on my
gnome cam at 7:45 today. If the
Morlock ran his sirens once in awhile instead of doing P90X all day maybe he wouldn't have had to suffer through such a withdrawal. The Morlocks return has done nothing for Eloi population control, and we are clearly more bored than ever. Down with P90X!

With our plans for disc golf cancelled, my neighbor and I decided it was time to scare the neighborhood and play frisbee in the front yard at
7:30pm. Our attempts to break each others windows never succeeded, and we were interrupted by both an out of control
Morlock and a cop turning around on our street (we both ran as fast as we could on seeing the cop, but he didn't chase us as we'd hoped. The Morlock did.) Fairly certain my fabulously gay throws and catches were the cause of both the morlock and police interventions we called it off for the night with a net gain of +5 on suspicion of gay.
After a full day of GameCube From Home, Lisa was ready to visit the
Kelleys kitten at their recently cleaned and listed for sale residence. Not satisfied with one Redford slum property, I toured their newly listed house with an eye for how many renters I could cram in the cabinets. We decided on a trip to Fat Cats for reflection, sent off by Redfords finest youth gang shouting obscenities loudly. Upon arrival we learned Lisa had regressed to age 4; probably due to the shock of entering Redford, and the sugar from the ice cream didn't help. We returned to the Kelleys where the youth gang had escalated into a street war, but were able to dodge the BMX bike tanks circling the area successfully. We started watching
The Last Dragon which only further regressed Lisa. Recalling I had a date with my neighbor, I quickly left before the youth gang upgraded to "your mom" artillery and finished off the evening safe at home playing "
Guitar Hero Smash Hits" with said neighbor. I can assure anyone the game is far from a smash hit.
My addiction to Xbox gamerscore leads me down some questionable roads when it comes to gaming, but by far the oddest yet (barely ahead of
My Horse & Me 2) is
You’re In The Movies. The game was big news at
last years E3 but since then has been relegated to the bargain bin of the few places that still carry it. Fortunately I found it used for $15 which is a steal for the 1,000 points locked inside. The
crowning achievement with Lisa and the
Senator should give you more than enough footage to understand how low I'm willing to go.
With my 2006 era
Blackberry 8703e randomly rebooting, I decided it was time to re-enter the modern world. As an
anti iPhone supporter, aware of the subliminal messaging broadcast to its users, I knew it was something I definitely did not want. After derailing the iPhone train and sneaking out the emergency exit past the Apple enforcer drones, I found myself disoriented in a dark sewer. Various shady characters cautiously approached claiming to have the perfect iPhone killer that would suit all my underground needs. I fought past them to a barrel fire where a man with no legs was warming his hands. The iPhone train had recovered at this point and was resuming its trip down the line, causing the iPhone killer crowd to scatter back to their hiding places. The legless man did not move, perhaps because he had no legs but I like to think it was because he knew he had the right phone for me. Out of his jacket came a
Blackberry Curve 8330 from 2008, a full 2 year advance over my old phone. The camera, Bluetooth stereo, Bluetooth dial up networking, satellite based GPS and mini sd card were all new to me, but he assured me it was nothing cutting edge. His initial price of 120 imperial credits was quickly reduced to 80 after I pulled a knife on the poor soul. We both knew it was discarded by one of the many iPhone converts and he had probably just picked it up off the street. He held no grudge after I put the knife away; it's just how business is done outside the Apple store. I found a new understanding of the world in the sewer that night, but more importantly I found my new phone.
Fresh off the Dream Cruise this past weekend, our recently acquired company vehicle was requisitioned for a
work lunch today. Although hideous from the outside, the Flex has a lot of room on the inside, and of course I was able to sync my phone and blast Suzy Q to unsuspecting co workers. Lisa, who just recently was able to stop talking about all the features of my new phone, now has something fresh to talk about.
Flipping through the control panel screens in my
recently loaded Windows 7 machine, I noticed instead of a standard mouse icon, there was a photo of my actual mouse. My other devices
weren't customized but one was enough to leave an impression. Yeah it's not a hard thing to do, but taking the time to create an image catalog to match up with devices impressed me. I'm sure it's not the only OS to do this, but for the first time a computer I own does. Small steps.
