I got an Xbox 361

Yeah thats right! Its one degree better than yours. Score!

And now for a lovely little picture. . .

That'll do. It looks exactly like that except I keep mine on its side, cuase its lazy like me. Anyway, I finally broke down and got a 360. I've been talking about it for probably 2 years now and I thought I'd save Rick the pain of me suggest to him that he get it for me every birthday, xmas, 4th of July, gay pride week, etc. Actually what did it was the latest issue of game informer came featured tons of new games from this years E3 and I decided that enough was enough. I mean Resident Evil 4? C'mon, who doesn't want to blow the heads of zombified African villagers? I hope that didn't sound racist. I mean, I'm not racist, I'm just stereotypically white (sorry, random ANTM reference). I got it off Craigslist, which is always an experience in and of itself. I have actually been trolling the Xbox market on craigslist for months now, and I always found it odd that the best deals were in Carnasie or Avenue U or some other random place I've never been. Ok, that definitely sounded racist, I think? Sorry. But my fears are legitimate. I read about these guys who would go to buy iPhones on some random corner in Bed-Stuy and they would be held up at gun point. So yeah. Plus, as mentioned earlier, I'm lazy and so I decided that the deal would have to go down in my neighborhood or have it delivered to me. Plus I fear the red rings of death which any Xbox owner worth his achievement points prays against every night. I mean whats going to stop some dude from handing me some broken Xbox? I certainly would never have the balls to demand my money back. As you can see I had a lot of requirements and basically assumed that every deal would end with mean leaking blood out of my head. Stressful. So, I found this ad for this guys selling it for $240, and I told him I'd pay him $20 bucks more for him to deliver it and I made it clear that I would require him to plug it in and prove it worked before I paid. He was totally cool with that, which made me suspicious, but just as planned he came over after work, hooked it up, we made the transaction and that was that!

He only had NBA2K8 which I will be trading in quickly. I downloaded Castle Crashers which is like Smurfs meet Golden Axe, with a little bit more deapth, and Rick and I just beat it tonight. I have to admit it got a little tedious, but it was good for a laugh and had a good amount of charm. I just wish I had picked a different knight; I chose green, who uses bio-poison type magic - never my favorite, as I feel its just kinda a pussy magic, you know? Like, poison, are you kidding me? What are we going to cast a spell and then dance around and avoid attacks for like 10 minutes while our opponent slowly wastes away? Lets just scorch them with a giant fucking Fire3 and get it over with!

Speaking of bio-ness, I got Bioshock via GameFly yesterday, and I've logged about 2 hours. It features an underwater dystopian city set in the 1950's. Swell. More on that later. But first, one more pretty picture.
