So I'm back from San Diego. I think I tweeted the hell out of it so it should come has no surprise that I spent a vast majority of my time in the Xbox Lounge (free drinks!). Playing Kinect was fun but guess what? I got bored pretty fast. You know what didn't bore me? Hydro Thunder Hurricane. I played the living **** out of this XBLA game (which comes out this Wednesday btw) and ******** it's fun as hell. They had a 12 console Live party going for prizes and I would CONSTANTLY get second place, third place, never quite winning a copy of Alan Wake and Crackdown 2 I wanted so dearly. I wanted to bring all my friends in and stack the consoles so at least one of us would win, …

Hey all With the announcement of the Halo Reach console bundle, I decided to work on an article about whether or not video game themed console bundles sway your mind in either buying the game or upgrading your system or both. Please be opinionated as possible and feel free to make comparisons with the different video game themed consoles that have come out. Remember your opinions/gamertag will be included in the article like when I did the RE series article. Spanks!

Well, it's almost here. This Tuesday, I have a(nother) bicep repair surgery at 9:30 in the morning. I'm going to be off work for 3 weeks...my surgeon wants me to take 8 weeks off, but there's not way I can afford that, so I talked him down to 3. This is my second bicep repair surgery in less than a year. *sigh* Sadly, it's the other arm this time...my right arm. Ugh...and I drive a stick shift. It's gonna be interesting to say the least. Wish me luck. At least I know what to expect...kinda sorta. Lot's of pain and difficulty bathing. Luckily, my b/f has offered to be my sexy male nurse.

I haven't played either of the games, but what I want to ask is if I should play through the first one before I play the second? I'm thinking about buying one of them today but didn't know if I should just skip the first one and buy the second which I heard was a little better than the first. I'm also going to maybe pick up Singularity at Kmart today for $34.99, and also a copy of the new Dragon Quest for the Nintendo DS which just came out.

Well I just aquired a pair of Altec Lansing 508s.

I remember these speakers from when Tam worked there and they were being discontinued but the company had a few pairs left around there warehouse they were selling for cheap.

Brought me back to the days we were nearly all active on them and there were some funny moments..can anyone remember any? I need a laugh.. Anyone remember that girl stalker I had who found me from the forums and posted about? She kept on sending me pics of herself and coming on to me

happy birthday, America!
