A death in the family

I bought Madden 08 Football today for my Xbox 360.  Jobu and Krozzbow have been playing for a while now and it sounded pretty good. Madden 09 is coming out in 20 minutes or so, so the price was right ($20 bucks).

I just popped it in now to try it out and it seems my curvy white friend has passed on.

3 little red lights and a phone call to Bangladesh later and here I sit typing through my grief unsure of what the future holds.

This is not the first relative I’ve lost to those damn lights . . . no . . . this kind of pain is all too familiar.  My original Xbox passed with a nasty disk drive failure and his off spring – my first Xbox 360 got the red ring as well.  One minute you’re collecting little golden coins on your quest to find the Lego Holy Grail – and the next . . . you just never know.

Do me a favor and hug your controller a little tighter tonight . . . and keep me and my xbox-less existence in your thoughts during this very difficult time.

Brand New Old Star Trek

So the whole world is gushing about the Dark Knight and what do I do?

I post a pic of the new Star Trek Movie Poster.

Why?

Because this blog nonsense is all about keeping ahead of the curve. Dark Knights been out for like 48 hours now – I’m moving forward . . . and this is the new hotness.

Wait – I’m sorry who is directing this thing? The LOST guy . . . Same guy who made that Cloverfield debacle . . .  I see.

Okay nevermind.

Go back about your business. . .
