BlogSaw
this commercial on TV and was immediately obsessed. It made me realize (again) that alternate future history plots are where it's at. Instead of scaring everyone with what could possibly happen, entertain them with actual predictions. Plus it fits in nicely with the Homefront game and upcoming remake of Red Dawn.
The flatlanders
stopped by for a visit this weekend and enjoyed a sloppy joe feast prepared by my replacement wife who not only cooks and cleans but sucks snot out of Lilas nose. Jaird and I played Crysis 2 while Lisa and Melanie did everything else, with a few excursions mixed in.
Saw "Limitless" with the woman tonight. Movie about unlocking your potential with a pill that lets you access your entire brain. While we already access 100% of our brain (just 20% consciously) I let the error slide and enjoyed the movie. Of course I became obsessed with the fictional drug, so once I got home I searched and found the
viral site which was surprisingly well done.
I came home today to find the house clean and
Kuato making me dinner. He didn't seem as concerned about the mutant rebel resistance as I would have assumed, so I carried on talking about my day at work. Eventually he was re-absorbed having never told me my role in freeing the mutants or activating the alien artifact. Now that I know he lives nearby I'll be prepared for our next meeting and watchful of any suspicious Rekall employees.
Apart from a post-closing threat by my primary loan holder,
Alpha is no longer of any concern to me! After waiting 8 months, and dropping $6k I'm finally rid of the Redford money pit that was my home. While not as cunning as the
Senator, who was able to get out scott free, I'd much rather pay up now than later when gangs take over and start enforcing the 2 inch maximum lawn height (wheelles vehicles will still be allowed) A fun fact I learned at the closing is that Michigan still has
dower rights, meaning Lisa had to sign off allowing me to sell my house because she had rights to it despite not even knowing me when I bought it. On the flip side, she can sell her Condo without anything from me. As a result, her beatings have increased.
Having all but given up on Homefront, and being roundly chastised for pushing it, I decided to hide in the new Crysis game while the hate blew over. I can honestly say it's the best looking graphics I've yet seen on the Xbox 360, and so far the plot isn't all that bad. The suit is easier to use and at least on the hardest difficulty you're actually vulnerable, so you have to think about your next move rather than blasting through everything like the first one. Now that I've actually played it I can recommend it to the Homefront haters.

birthday celebration began with some adequate mexican food served extremely slow, giving us ample time to stock up on alcohol while we waited for the check. Returning to her house, we proceeded to get blasted and of course, even a stupid bubble wheel toy became hilarious. We then retired to Mels house for the intention of sleeping, but wound up performing
shenanigans till 5 a.m. instead.
Today I started
Homefront and was satisfied with the single player. While really just a hodgepodge of other FPS tasks and events, the story was good enough to make up for the crappy animations and clunky plot trigger points. Having forced Enorym and the Senator to also get the game we quickly learned attempting to get more than 2 people in the same game on multiplayer was impossible, and there was very little to differentiate it from Call of Duty. I take full responsibility for leading everyone into this less than fulfilling game, as the hype was much higher than the end result.
With my current printer randomly deciding not to incorporate the color yellow in photos, it was time for an upgrade. With the upgrade, came the world of wireless printing and
ePrint, which lets you email a document to your printer. Blown away by these advances, the
Senator brushed off my excitement as old hat, having enjoyed such luxuries for some time. Frustrated at being one-upped yet again, I emailed my printer a photo of my middle finger.
After signing up for
rewards.xbox.com I received an
interesting email detailing how much of my life is wasted on my Xbox. I was shocked to see it calculated to the minute, then I was shocked at being shocked. After all, Xbox tracks my every move, it only makes sense they'd know exactly what I'm doing at any given time, but the actual metrics surprised me. At least now I'll know exactly how much of my life it consumes.
