Microsoft has announced that they will be giving out a free game to everybody on Live as a gesture of good will due to the poor network performance experienced during the holiday period.

I think I just shat my pants.

Could you imagine if that is what it looked like. I don't worry though. Nintendo will deliver like they always do.

... and listen to 9 Gigs of music shared via someone's iTunes on the hotel's guest network, I would like to remind everyone to install some sort of Firewall software on your damn laptops.

Fly by Night, by Rush; brought to you by some poor schmuck on the 5th floor (or thereabouts).

I thought I would share another good video review from Yahtzee. I believe the last one posted on this site was about the craptacular Halo series. This one is about Mario Galaxies.

Among others things. His wife and kids are also here.

I talk to him on the phone in advance. "Make sure you bring Crackdown. I thought we should have a two player game in case no one else is online."

So Q-bert shows up with Crackdown. Only Crackdown.

Am I right in considering him an idiot?

Just curious.

but is funny:

And not my regular constant seething hate, but a more poignant, musical hate. And this occurred to me at 6am this morning.

Gabba: "I don't know how to plug in the microphone, go and wake up daddy..."

Bouzie: "'K!" bom bom bom bom
Bouzie: "Daddy! Wake up!"
Me: "Mhhhrrmh ?"
Bouzie: "Wake up!"
Me: "Why ?"
Bouzie: "Wake up!"

Yes, love was in the air this morning...

Seriously, sometimes I am confused by our consumer society and the corporate lack of logic. Unlike the EBgames style however, this was in my favour.

I received for christmas a very nice present in the form of "Live free or Die Hard" on dvd. Great, I was looking forward to it. Unfortunately said gift was a Full Screen version as the gift came from a non-technological, non-geek type person. Yes Virginia, they do exist.

How do you show your friends how much you appreciate them?

Why by Fragging them of course.

All HOC members and their friends are invited to the inaugural Frag Fest at my New House!

All right Herd Members. A New Year is about to begin, and what better way to start it then with a movie.

In theathers January 25.

Stormblade, you will be expected to fly to Ottawa for this event.

K, so I was told my Mac Mini would arrive on Christmas Eve ... via the US Postal Service.

Yeah, right.

The same US Postal Service that makes Canada Post look good.

So, there I am, at my Brother's house, waiting patiently for the box to arrive. It doesn't. Go figure. Instead, I decide to get wildly intoxicated. Ok, I was doing that anyway, but it was easier once I accepted my Mini wasn't showing up. Read more

Woohoo!

I'm a SPECTRE!!!

And no, I have no idea what that means either....

Where did the games go? Did Guba throw them out to stop the madness? Did Halfpint take them to play them himself? Did Rolly take them because "Master Chief Funny"?

Who knows the truth?

They all have the initials 'BW' on the disks.

Mine don't.

At least, not after a little rubbing alcohol ...
