Herd of Cats

No reason.

I caught the Red-Eye

Ciao Suckers! Couldn't wait to get out of Ottawa, now I've hit the big city! T.O. baby! This is where it's at!

I'm now cruising around Toronto trying to score some chick consoles! Not working out so well from inside this damn COFFIN. Trying to convince the driver to swing by the Rogers Center to catch a Blue Jay's game. He's not buying, don't think he's a Jay's fan.

And the journey continues...

The MS graphic hasn't updated yet but I am on my way.

I'm on my way from misery to happiness today

Happy belated Star Wars day
May the fourth be with you

And the journey begins...

Woo hoo! My coffin arrived! Wait, why am I so happy about that?

So now here I am, sitting on another shelf, this one at security. Waiting. In the Dark. For Purolator to come and get me. And take me to North York. Now that's my kind of town.

North York or bust! Ok, fine, be that way. North York or more bust!

We should have burned the body

It was a short 18 months ago when we made sure that Stormblade wouldn't be bothering us again. But Coxxorz and I lost the body (honestly, I thought he had it). We knew, we knew, that someday that mistake would come back to haunt us.

And that day is nigh!

The resurrection of Stormblade has begun. We have all seen the omens: the taunts on Xbox Live, the emails, the Stormsday Clock (a little too obvious maybe). The raising of his corpse will require a ceremony. A ritual steeped in secrecy, from out of the depths of time, an official Herd of Cats Lan Party.

Join us for:

It came from Colorado: the Return of (zombie) Stormblade

Time for a new shirt design! And what better subject matter than deriving amusement from Blackwalt's misfortune. So without further ado, I present the HoC RRoD Powned shirt. Read more

Hmmm....this may actually make me want to go out and waste 2 hours of my life... Read more

Waiting is the hardest part...

Made it into the office. Waiting on a shelf until the coffin arrives. Ick! Morbid name, not happy about that.

Discovered that two of my HoC Elite kindred went before me, not just the one.

Bored. Still stuck on Step 1.

Step 1: MS called and coffin is on its way.

I think this game will be on Revek and Blackwalt's list.

Again

While this may not have been clear in Coxxorz's original photo. This RRODed console is an Xbox 360 Elite. You remember? The first Xbox 360 console redesigned to not have the RROD problem.

This, of course, is the second HoC Xbox 360 Elite to RROD. Graybush went first.

Anyway...

Step 1: MS called and coffin is on its way.

Five pages for April, average. No major themes this month. Nazi Zombies, Saints Row 2, Swag's social life are all in there.

Top April Stories by Read count:

• 522 reads - BREAKING NEWS: Swag has a date tomorrow, needs advice, viagra.
• 309 reads - First RROD?
• 257 reads - All things happen in 3s

  After last month's domination I didn't break the top three this time. We have Swag's social life and Akufadumamai twice with first his RROD, and second his Disaster Piece Theatre which kept most of us entertained with his misery. It's nice, once in a while, when it isn't MoriceRevek.

How many of you currently have a dead Xbox 360?

Yes, that is a faceplate with Blackwalt's HoC Star Wars artwork on it. Yes, it's Blackwalt's 360 Elite. And yes, it happened at Graybush's place tonight.*

So it seems like bad luck does come in threes. Could this be the end of Aku's losing streak?
