Spending Money I Don't Have, On Shit I Don't Need.

Thanks E3. Here's what I'm anxious for. I heard you only need 1 kidney to function normally, is that right?

Things to note: Didn't finish even 1 season of NCAA Football this year. That's a first. Makes me wonder if I should just wait 'till a price drop on NCAA 10. I never finished GTA4 either, even though I think I was pretty close. I'll get on that before I get to The Lost & Damned. I saw the credits each time I played Civ Rev, so I counted it, each time.

Selling stuff on Ebay...

Exciting Stuff.

Here's a LINK to my first item I'm trying to sell on Ebay. 120 GB Hard Drive for the 360.

Started it last night at $.99 (not sure that was a good move as it was the default) and it's moving up pretty quickly.


Editors Note: Ended up selling for $145.50. Not too bad. Now I'm waiting for his "e-check" to clear before I send it.

Started my next auction...same item, soon after it ended. Going good soo far. Had some pretty dumb questions though. If I say I only ship to the US on the auction, why do you email me asking if I will ship to Brazil? I may do it, but outrageously overcharge him, just on principle. The "buy it now" price is pretty prominent on there, why do you email me asking how much it is? Bah....must be new to Ebay.

Gears of War 2

So if you're gonna buy a video game, and they offer a free gift if you preorder, then it makes sense to go ahead and put your 5 bucks down right?




I'm sure this will be a piece of shit, but what the hell. I'll play with it for about a day before it breaks.

Tiger Woods is...Jesus?

Betcha Jesus can win his Grand Slam all in the same year.

Small Blog Update

I've put my Playstation Network ID on the side of the blog. Yes, I know you care. It's really kinda plain right now, but I expect Sony to add to it, (Trophies, Level, Score) to make it match up with the Xbox Gamercard.

I wish they (they being Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo) would come up with something new and exciting instead of copying features from each other.

Wii Fit...

Seriously, I'm hypnotized.

I'll buy your Wii Fit Damnit! Just don't stop the video.

Apparently I like to play games

You're impressed aren't you. Yea...you know you are.
Actually, my list isn't very big (It's a good size!!!) If you'd seen some of the lists I've seen, you wouldn't think it's that impressive.

What....the hell Microsoft

Call in the repair on Friday...and by Wednesday I get the free arcade games disk you promised me. That's quick service, but there's one small problem. My Xbox is still broken!

"EEEEE-DIOTS!"

How bout you get your shit together and send my the damn coffin!

It's like a slap in the face isn't it?

Microsoft....You Suck

Fucking piece of shit hardware.

That's gonna make 4 consoles I've had.

Luckiest Grenade Throw Evar!

Gotta admit, that's pretty cool.

Halo 3 as reviewed by Zero Punctuation

Great site with some very funny reviews of games. I just saw the Halo 3 review, but it looks like there are plenty more. The reviewer is "Yahtzee a British-born, currently Australian-based writer and gamer with a sweet hat and a chip on his shoulder. When he isn't talking very fast into a headset mic he also designs freeware adventure games and does the occasional feature for Australia's Hyper Magazine."

I think it's worth checking out.

I R A HUGE KNURD

I actually felt stupid for buying it yesterday, mainly because of the cause, but when I got home last night and opened it, I thought it was money well spent.



It's bigger than I thought (Yes, that's what she said...ha ha ha...you're very funny)

It's well built. Not particularly heavy, but not flimsy either. It's solid. Does not feel cheap at all.



It's cool seeing Master Chief's helmet 6 inches from your face (That's what she said!...ok that one is kinda funny)

Very Impressive

Cool thing is it comes with a slip cover, and when you put it on over the helmet, it looks like a ninja.

P.S. Seeing that I didn't take these pictures, that I took them of the interwebs, it's come to my attention (AGAIN!) that I need a digital camera. I must be the last person on earth that doesn't have one. I think my AMEX points may be put to use real soon.

God of War II

...and Penny Arcade summed up my thoughts perfectly.

Finally finished it today and couldn't have been more impressed. I can't wait until God of War 3.

Halo 3

Because Halo 3 is only a few days away.

2nd Ad


It's now less than 1 week from the release of Halo 3 and I'm really starting to get excited about it. Here's the two Halo 3 ads on tv right now. I'm liking them.

Favorite offensive play book Texas A&M Tennessee

It was closer than the score seems. I was down 13-10, in the middle of the fourth with the ball, somewhere around the 30. I have my speed qb (Jerrod Johnson) in for a speed option play, and I let him keep it and take it upfield. He ends up fumbling and I lose the ball. LSU drives down and scores a touchdown.

Next possession, times getting critical, and I start moving the ball downfield by passing. I end up throwing an interception, which he ends up running back to the 2 yard line cause that's when my qb (McGee) finally decided to push him out of bounds (for some reason, it wouldn't let me switch to him). Of course LSU punches it in for the score.

Another close game lost for me. I fall to 1-4 in the league (I didn't think I was that bad), although I play tOSU next week, and he's arguably worse than me.

7:49 PM, I'm Back in Business

and by the end of the night, I go from this:





to this: (insert pic of getting killed by the VIP when I can find it)


Gawd I'm a little rusty at Rainbow Six Vegas

Anyways, UPS finally delivered my 360 at 7:49 last night. First off, I can't believe UPS delivered it that late. I sat around at home because I didn't want to miss the UPS man (that's fucking commitment baby!) and I didn't get a chance to go workout (aww...I'm sad...really I am).
Second, well I don't know if there is a second. Wait, yes there is. Total time from bricking my 2nd Xbox and getting my 3rd? (Died 8/10 about 4:30) 2 weeks, 3 days, 4 hours...ish. Not bad turnaround and no expense to me, but shit, I shouldn't have to return a video game console, let alone 2 of them.

Third, I finally got my notification (this morning) from Microsoft that they've shipped my console...

Dear Thomas * *&^%$, (Ha, that makes my last name look like a curse word!)

Well At Least "Brown" Has It Together

Sweet! Looks like my Xbox is on it's way back. Actually, it's currently in Dallas. I expect it to be delivered Monday (hello reason to leave work early!)!

Just got an automated message giving me a tracking number ( 1Z 05W 358 42 2013 055 7) for a package that has to be signed for on delivery.

By the way, copying down a tracking number by hand sucks. Damn those things are long. (That's what she said...wait, what?) I'm way to used to ctrl+c, ctrl+v from an email.

Way to go Microsoft. A simple email telling me the tracking number would have been nice.
Fuck it. As long as you give me a quieter system that runs cooler, I'll be okay (funny thing, the spell check on Firefox says I should spell "okay" "tokay". Think I can start that trend?). Anyways, I'm dying to play Bioshock. Everybody I know will have finished it by the time I get to start it, which kinda sucks cause I hear the story is great and I don't want to be spoiled on it.

The other thing I need to do is get caught back up with my league games. LSU is my opponent this week (I'm pretty sure) , and he's leading the league I'm in. I'm sure I'll get my ass handed to me, and not just cause I'm out of practice. I've got to get some practice games in before I play him, so it's not too lopsided of a game.
Folow my ineptitude here at League Daddy. Take a guess on what team I'm using.

Dear Microsoft...

Get off your lazy ass and send me back my 360. I know it's apparently been done since about Wednesday (probably earlier), cause your slow ass system updated on Thursday. Now send the muthafucker back to me so I can play Bioshock and NCAA.
