Herd of Cats

I was just checking the HoC Live Status page, when I spotted this: MoriceRevek has apparently been offline for 13,934 days. Now MyGamerCard has had the foresight to put "Xbox.com error" in there too, but I'm not so sure. One could argue that Revek hasn't really played a decent game in over 38 years...

Although wouldn't it have been cool if Jehreg's status card showed 14,600 hours?

With apologies to Q-Bert who we made suffer through a 45 minute (plus) delay while Hardw00d figured out his firewall and then made play COD4.

Waking up this morning the first thing I thought of in conversation with Stormblade was "you know, we should have played Marvel Ultimate Alliance."

And we should have.

Sorry Q-Bert, we owe you a MUA night.

We should have ignored Hardw00d's LAN party and gone our own way and we didn't.

Next time buddy, next time.

1. Getting Bluesoleil and a Bluetooth USB dongle to mate with the wiimote.
2. Building a Wii infrared emitter from mouse parts.
3. Playing Portal with the wiimote using GlovePIE (Hint for MacHeads: Darwiin)
4. Getting Wii points to buy the Internet Channel
5. Using the Wii as a Media Center using Orb

C64 games are coming to the Wii. You guys will see me a lot less on the Xbox360.

Don't shoot me there!Ouch, oww, stop it, damn, OWWW, don't shoot me there! Ouchimama!

Seriously, when does it stop?

The FPS Vest is an impact-generating device designed to enable you to feel the game's action for the ultimate gaming experience. It contains eight active zones that simulate the direction and forces of bullet fire, crushing explosions, and fear-inducing finger taps as they occur in the game.

That's one slick ride!70 Achievement points wouldn't normally be a big deal.

But it this case, it shows that StormBlade and MoriceRevek are losers and frankly, I am okay with that. And I am sure you are as well.

Over the past two weeks of Burnout Paradise they have been bragging. Counting down the number of races left before they earned their coveted Burnout Paradise Elite License. Bragging and counting down in their two player race between the single guys with time on their hands.

Or, they could have just learned to drive better!

Who cares about a national emergency?

I want one of these for my backyard!

The ‘Bedu’ Emergency Rapid Response by Toby McInnes is a breath of functional air. It is designed to fit within the current logistical framework and features just about everything you could possibly need.

Apparently I don't know Nerf.

Despite being enthralled with this Nerf Vulcan Gun I have been shown the error of my ways by Gizmodo.

Gizmodo has discovered a modder team that has taken a toy chainsaw and a Nerf N-Strike Longshot CS-6 to create a Gears of War Lancer gun. Yes it's Nerf Gears of War.

What do the Montreal Canadiens do when they're down 5-0 five minutes into the 2nd period? Well, win the game 6-5 of course!

Biggest comeback in franchise history. That by the oldest franchise in the NHL.

And there's a high probability we're adding Marian Hossa before the trade deadline.

I think I smell Cup number 25...

... yes Revek, that's 25, not 24 ...

Embarrassing..

Saw this article on CNN that says Toshiba has given up on HD DVD. I guess that makes Sony a winner for a change.

Not that I am planning to run out and buy a Blue-ray machine. Anyway, I can play them on my Mac if I really want to.

Mark your calendars everybody for the 40 year bash of Q-Bert. No, it is not a secret that we have to keep from him. After the neer screw up for my own, I thought it best if we keep the target informed so he does not go off and make plans of his own as I did. Although we could still have lots of fun without him here. Read more

There are some things that shouldn't be put together for any length of time.

1) An obsessive-compulsive personality
2) A mindboggingly addictive video game
3) An enclosed space including an XBox, a monitor, a chair, a fridge and a toaster oven
4) A total lack of external commitments

What day is it again? Read more

Screw the Wii Nerf Blaster.

I want one of these new Nerf weapon systems:

The N-STRIKE VULCAN EBF-25

Well I had hoped Rolly would have made it past 2.5 years in age before he started getting hard lessons in growing up male.

He hit one of life's first milestones on Sunday.

Getting stood up.

Yes his date for the Backyardigans bailed on him, one hours notice with one of your traditional excuses, "I am throwing up everywhere... but I still want to go, really."

Yes, sure you do. We believe little Snuffy D junior, we believe. You little heart breaker you.
