And you know what that means...

Whatever! Blackwalt and I will be frantically trying to oust the remaining zombies in Resident Evil 5, so you guys are on your own.

Have fun!

Yes, I know, again, but...

Acting on a tip from Coxxorz (see) I dropped by a local Staples.

He had sent me looking for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Game of the Year edition. Apparently it "is on clearance, and scans at $25 despite the sticker price. If you happen to go by a Staples (not Barrhaven, already looked), could you have a look if they have one?"

Well it's not in Bells Corners either but I did discover something else.

Sometimes

So I finished my co-op Resident Evil 5 day with Coxxorz and I still wanted to play more of the game.

The problem was, I was unsure if Coxxorz was still interested. He did play it but I was unclear how much he had enjoyed it.

But I had the game rented until Thursday (as did he) so I figured I could at least ask. So I emailed him:

Though if I ever meet the person who made this I will beat them senseless for making fun of KISS....grrr...

But I must admit I was amused...

My day with Milla Jovo... Coxxorz and Resident Evil 5

Every few months or so Coxxorz and I get together for a day of Xbox 360 Co-op goodness. We wait for a game to come around and then wait for an appropriate day. This time around we had the day but not the game.

1. One old game for purchase, Mercenaries 2: World in flames
2. One new game for rent, Resident Evil 5

Guess which one we picked?

My human screamed this morning when she went downstairs to make sure our food quantities were adequate for our daily routine. At that point, I was thinking that if it's a mouse, I'll task the Dumb Orange cellmate to take care of it... Read more

According to the media, a worker at Chinese manufacturer Foxconn reportedly committed suicide after losing a prototype of Apple's 4G iPhone.

DigitalBeat reports that 25 year-old Sun Danyong was tasked with shipping 16 of the prototype phones from the assembly line at the local factory to Apple:
"At some point in the next few days, he discovered that one of the phones was missing. He suspected that it had been left at the factory, but couldn’t find it.

Never fails all the old folks poking me and laughing saying "You're next". I think I am going to start going to funerals and doing the same thing to them.

Bastards!

Not at all related to Call of Duty.YES!!!! Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 3 Zombie goodness

Activision and Treyarch have announced the upcoming release of the Call of Duty(R): World at War Map Pack 3.

Available this August the new content will contain ...yadda, yadda, yadda, who cares... and one new zombie map!

Use the teleporters to escape the vicious Hell Hounds and pray that the Wunderwaffe will appear before it's too late.

Teleporters?

Oh, and it will probably be overpriced for a single map but I'll still pay. I'll pay, I tell you, I'll pay. Mmmmm... Zombie goodness...

Ottawa surfers were horrified this morning to read that a local resident had been scammed out of money on the internet.

The Ottawa Citizen reports that the 23-year-old was duped out of over $5,000 by the devious "You-send-me-money-I-send-you-nothing" scam while trying to buy a pickup truck on eBay:

Those of you that have been fortunate enough to be at my house in spring know that I have somewhat of a ladybug problem... I used to complain... until I saw this:

Aren't we all Mac users on this site ?

Some of you can at least do these at work. Have fun...
