What I’ve heard every year.

Mom: “Don’t you want some GIRL things for Christmas?? Like some shoes?!”

XBOX 360

1

I had the opportunity to play some XBOX 360 yesterday. I didn’t have time to really sit down and get to know the games that were available, but here is a quick rundown:

Condemned: Criminal Origins – OK. This game is pretty cool for the first 30 minutes. A first-person shooter mixed in with some CSI elements. However, I can see it easily deteriorating into a GTA syndrome – I may only want to play to see how incredibly violent I can become. Here’s the Gamespot review. Some of the missions, like finding 5 dead birds, seemed kind of rediculous (what are they trying to stop, bird flu?). But for the fact that you can make most objects available to you killing machines (a subway sign, pipes off the wall, a school desk), I’d probably tire of killing the same deranged low-lifes over and over. Creepy, but repetitive.

NBA 2006 – I hate sports games. I hate them because I don’t understand sports, so it makes it hard for me to figure out what I’m supposed to be doing. Wait, by that logic someone could say “Oh, and you have personal experience slaying dragons and crafting leather armor?” Just shut up.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted – I didn’t get to actually play this one, but it looks frickin’ awesome. Especially on a really, really, really big TV. Someone with me said “This doesn’t look all that different from a regular XBOX,” but I have to disagree.

Ok, so that’s my little breakdown. It looks promising, but I’m still torn between PS3 and XBOX 360. Obviously, I haven’t played the PS3 yet. And I hate Sony now. Only time will tell.

Work has been so insane lately that I’ve not had any time to blog. So, sorry if you’re one of the 5 people that reads this and you’ve been missing me.

Who am I kidding.

Anyway. There’s a new love in my life. His name is Gus Gus 2. I named him that because I have a pillow that looks like a dog, and I named it Gus Gus. Can someone just shoot me now? Anyway, he looks like this:

I plugged him into the headphone port on my speakers, and learned the following things:

  • He hates the Editors.
  • He hates the new Franz Ferdinand album (don’t we all?)
  • He barks loudly when I don’t pay attention to him, which causes my co-workers to shoot me dirty looks for disrupting… well… whatever they do.

Yay for iDog.

My new obsession.

Sorry for the lack of updates. I’ve been busy doing absolutely nothing (and that included Internet). But one thing I have discovered is Supayana. Yana, the designer, is based in NYC, and her clothes are making me insane with clothes-lust. Will you just look at that shirt?? Adorable. It makes me want to die. I’m following her eBay auctions until I can get to NYC and shake her down for some goods.
