Are you using OSX Tiger yet?

I bet you are now.

Don't do it! Don't play that early copy of Halo 3...

Play Halo 3 Before Its Release Date and You'll Get Banned

TeamXbox has more details.

The Xbox hardware just pisses me off sometimes.

Damn stupid Wireless headset.

Last night going in for an HoC grenade fest in Rainbow Six Vegas I finally get the headset fully charged as it ran out the previous night.

Let's turn it on. Hey, the lights are flashing and its not syncing with the 360. Dammit. Okay. Off and on. Not resyncing.

Fine push resnyc button on Headset, push resync button on 360. Ah hah. There we go. Synced.

Ok Looks like the Toronto Maple Leafs will be a .500 team this year, that is if the first intersquad game is a reflection.

The record after the first game is 1 win 1 lose

So for all those skeptics that didn't think the Leafs would win a game this year. We are 1-1 in games that don't count and that we played against ourselves.

It's because he never logs in beforehand. Tragic really. All his comments making fun of me will just remain in the moderation queue and rot there.

Really.... tragic...

To the first person who can get me a receipt from EB Games for any used game, dated between June 3 and August 7. Good for one adult admission to an actual movie theatre (my apologies for making you leave the house). Please allow 4 to 6 weeks for delivery.

Updated. Halo 3's somewhat ridiculous Ad Campaign is being mocked by web cartoonists:

What am I ever going to do with 3 Xbox 360's

For Snuffy D and Coxxorz. Copied and pasted from CodeMasters.

Everyone at Codemasters, especially those who worked directly with Colin McRae, is deeply shocked and saddened by the tragic events of this weekend.

The loss of Colin McRae is deeply distressing. That it involved his son and another so young makes it even more tragic. Our thoughts are with his family and those closest to him and we share in their pain. Read more

Although Pebbles may deny Q-Bert's parenting experience, technically, he has been a parent longer than I.

I got to watch in awe as he taught a valuable life lesson to his four year old daughter.

Q-Bert very careful, patiently, and with great skill showed his daughter how to properly hold a shotgun. "One hand here for reloading," and the "other one here under the stock to reach the trigger." Read more

For those of you who wonder about the differences between French and Quebecois (anyone??), Q-Bert translated this message I sent to him in French.

Je n'etais pas capable de lire l'Angais, mais quand meme, je serais la.

Avec mon XBox 360.

Translated into Quebecois:

J'chus pas capable de lire ton crisse d'anglais, mais m'a etes la quand meme, s'ti.

J'amene mon 360, pis j'vous en crisse toute une....

Obviously, I've been away too long.

I have developed a disease. A sickness really.

It's called Overlord, and it's all Blackwalt's fault.

You know, it started with the usual "I have this game you should see. I think you'd like it." So I watched him for a bit and it looked ok. I then downloaded the demo and it was pretty fun, so I picked up the game on eBay to give it a try.

It's a good thing I don't answer to anyone right now. Read more

An interesting article over at Brandweek titled Strategy: Anatomy Of An Onslaught: How Halo 3 Attacked.

It talks about the advertising campaign informing us of what we already knew: Halo 3 is coming out.

My team and I have finally cleared the escalators from all of the terrorist, and are ready to rescue the hostages. Before we proceed, we resupply ourselves at the conveniently placed crate of weapons and ammo. Better change my smoke grenades to flashbangs so I can stun the terrorists.

Further down the hall, I can hear the terrorists arguing with one another.

"Put down the gun!"

"No you put down the gun!"

"I told you first!"

"Sez you!"

"Yo mama"

and so on. Read more

I know Coxxorz is buying this for sure.

This has been buried because it is releasing the same day as Halo 3.

But still, we should have seen it.

Unfortunately, "with up to two players," is a direct quote.
