Pumpkin time

Another Halloween, another pumpkin gutted by my hand.

And here's 2007:

Logitech now makes baby toys?

Connor is learning to crawl, and for a while he was all about the Xbox 360 controller. Thankfully he has moved on from that, but of course not to one of the other baby toys we have purchased.....no, only the Logitech Harmony 720 we purchased can give him what he needs.

I think his taste in toys is only going up in price....

Thank you Jacoby Ellsbury

I enjoyed not one, but two delicious free taco's today (wife is a vegetarian) thanks to your stealing of that base.

If you think about it, what a brilliant move on Taco Bell's part. No person can only eat one taco, so by getting them in the door you've almost 100% guaranteed that you'll sell something else to them. It's a win win, in fact I'll bet they're gonna make money hand over fist on this one.

What a Sunday...

Oh man....how old am I now? Barely was able to make it to midnight last night to watch the Boston Red Sox win the World Series. Hard to believe they swept Colorado like that, I wonder how people who spent hundreds of dollars on tickets feel about that :) I'm sure the east coast ones are happy as hell.

Things I could spend $75 buck on

1. xbox 360 wireless adapter
2. beer....delicious beer
3. anime
4. Halo 3
5. Bioshock
6. God of War 2 and Oden Sphere
7. New shelves for my office
8. Roisin Murphy's new CD...plus I hear Tegan and Sara came out with another as well.
9. Bleach manga
10. Bluetooth adapter to pull images off my cellphone
11. More beer
12. Bluetooh headset
13. Boston Redsox sweatshirts

What was the last thing on my list? A new garbage disposal.....freaking thing started leaking out the electrical cable this morning, and thankfully Jen caught it right way. Stuff never stops breaking does it? So there goes 75 bucks...but at least we should be set for another 18 years.

Cat owner? Watch this....you will laugh I promise

While we're talking about Crackdown

Jen pointed this out the other night while I was playing.

Ok, so there's an achievement called Master Agent. Like a lot of other acheivements it centers around you collecting skill orbs. However, this one is achieved when you collect and max out all possible skills. That pretty much renders orbs useless....don't belive me? See for yourself:

Master Agent (40) Earn 4-star ratings in all five skill areas and then max out your Skills Status meters.

So what do you think your reward is for reaching this level? What is the only possible reward that would make sense to give somebody who has maxed out all skill levels by collecting orbs, to the point where they won't take any more?

If you said more orbs, pat yourself on the back. How stupid was that, eh? It's like giving Bill Gates a scratch and win lottery ticket for his birthday.

Cracktown

I'm two orbs way from all 500 agility orbs.....two piddly little orbs...grrrrrrrrr

On the other side of things, I turned in my second paper yesterday for my ENG 101 class. I still haven't gotten the first one back yet physically, but I was told that I got an A on it, so yay for me.

Time to go a pumpkin I suppose, babies first Halloween and all.

Are Xbox controllers drool proof?


Uh oh.....I think we might have a problem here soon.

I am simply a playground for our cats

In the rare few moments, after we put Connor down to sleep for the night, the cats seem to manage to make me their playground.

Jen took this cute video last night, while we tried to relax a little. I kinda think Gizmo was asking for it, but you have to realize his tail is like a freaking whip, it's almost prehensile.

we're back on the air

It's been a week or so since my last update, and while life has indeed been busy, the reasons go deeper than that. The backend system that runs this site was not working and only today got resolved.

So sorry about the lack of updates (those of you who care), I promise to bore you all very soon :)

I finished CoD 3, praise Allah!

Thank sweet baby jesus I'm done with this game! Now I can sell it back and try to wipe the experience from my mind. Half tempted to just take the disk and snap it, but I'm afraid it might release whatever soul sucking demon is encased within.

Seriously, I played CoD2, it was a great game. Who ever made this needs to just be fired from ever making games again. Rotate the right thumbstick to insert a fuse into C4?....are you f**king retarded? Or the stupid Left Trigger Right Trigger scripted fight scenes where you have to grapple with some random Nazi guy? Oh did I mention he's grenade proof? Because I sure as hell know I threw a grenade into that remove before he jumped out at me. Must be a poltergeist.....Nazi ghosts...great.

If you loved CoD 2 and were blown away by it, don't play this piece of regurgitated shit. I'm honestly offended they thought this was good enough to sell. It's a step back, and we can only hope CoD 4 get's back on the track.

Best damn Halo 3 super mario brothers video

Stolen from Kotaku, worth the watch.

Should I keep playing?

It's times like this I'm thankful for my understanding and loving wife. ;)
