Over
7 years ago I started belching out nonsense for the interwebs to enjoy. This belch marks my 1,000th during that time. While
the Senator beat me to the big 1k, he did not get a giant red arrow pointing to the number like myself. Instead, a Google adsense funded
party transpired, the likes of which will never be seen again. So rather than trying to top such an event, I decided to introduce a
special edition Xbox 360 to commemorate the event instead. You're welcome, and I expect everyone to buy one.
This weekend was
Hamilfest, an excuse for owners of 10 year old Cougars to go camping and drive on a beach. My obsession with the latest rhythm games resulted in
campground Beatles and
Guitar Hero beach with
Excelcier setting up Lips for
dual core nerdfest. Other highlights include the
birdnest bonfire,
intoxicated playground,
violating the propane tank,
cockschutt tractor and my
unexplained growth. I also learned "chronic" is another name for weed thanks to a roving pack of 16 year olds that passed through our campground, apparently on the hunt for it.
With the recent influx of plastic instrument games, and my obsession with mobile Xbox, it was only a matter of time before
mobile Rock Band was born. Camping this weekend will be enhanced with my 22" monitor and *bumpin* $50 subwoofer for the ultimate in outdoor jams. Now instead of trying to grab empty beer cans out of the fire while intoxicated I can fall into it during my solo. I'm curious if Beatles, GH5 or RB2 will be the preferred game of drunks.
Beatles: Rock Band was treated to the same work debut as
Guitar Hero 5 yesterday, followed by an after work play through lastnight. With only 25 songs on the disc, Robbie and I started at 6:30pm and wound up finishing the game at 10:30pm after
Stavos, Candy and Lisa had joined us. We even managed a
lame video of "Back to the U.S.S.R." Unfortunately the senator was not confident enough to sing harmony with Lisa after Candy requisitioned his guitar, as the game actually supports up to 3 singers in addition to guitar, bass and drum.
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!
