A comment on the
Fallout 3 Road Trip from the
Senator indicates his commenting days are behind him. Frustrated by the "myspacing" of this website by his wife, he's moved on to less popular sites. The tremendous amount of traffic and attention this website receives by the 4 regular visitors has lost him valuable street cred with bloggers everywhere. The change in opinion could not have come at a worse time, as the election is closer than ever and "sellouts" who support mainstream blogs are clearly not in tune with the elite internet voters. Having lost my #1 commenter, I'm taking a page from Myspace and sending regular emails about what you're missing, as well as adding "hot teens in your area" ads to all pages.
Walking through Costco today I was greeted with the best marketing term ever:
New Cool Technology! I was sold. I didn't even care what it was or what it did, it was targeted squarely at my demographic and with absolutely nothing to qualify why it was new, cool, or even technology I had to have it. I hope the packaging designer reads this note, slap it on anything and I'll give you all my money. I'll even spend the kickbacks I get for sending people to this link on more New Cool Technology!
The
Fallout 3 Road Trip concluded with
4 DLC expansions completed in full. During Xbox off hours we also managed to visit
The Safe House, a
fish ladder, a
presidential museum and some
Leonardo DaVinci stuff. A trip to a vegan co-op for my hippie addiction and the joys of Chicago traffic were also highlights left undocumented, and lost to history forever.
The 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.
