Herd of Cats

So Coxxorz (Deadpool) and I (Captain America) went into Marvel Ultimate Alliance once again last night and discovered that Mysterio wasn't the second coming of Galactus. We also saved the world's mutant population, a large Dam, a five storey mobile lab and discovered that M.O.D.O.K. is a sore loser at Trivial Pursuit. I think it was the two AI characters that made us so effective: Luke Cage and Human Torch. Read more

The pressure of running Herd of Cats is getting to me.

I think I'll hide here for a while. I don't think anyone will find me here.

I feel safe here for some reason.

Crimson Dynamo: Most powerful super-villian on earth?
Speaking of Flight or Fight, Herd of Cats got together a Marvel Ultimate Alliance team of Four Player Co-op. Where it was mostly flight. And screaming like little girls... lots of screaming like little girls.

Here is a link for a Marvel ultimate Alliance Tactics Guide. No reason.

So the HoC Avengers were Blackwalt as Captain America whose fashion power kept him changing outfits, Stormblade as Iron Man whose Hoover power kept him sucking up coins and secret items, Coxxorz as Thor whose power was secretly wanting to be Iron Man and constantly mouthing off about Captain America's slightly out of control flying shield, and rounding out the team MoriceRevek as Ice Man whose power was not knowing that he was an X-Man not an Avenger and pissing off his teammates by icing up their hands when they weren't looking.

Wait! Can you hear that ??

It's the sweet absence of Sylar. Isn't that awesome ?

I am not sure I could have sat through another filler episode. So it's good news that this one actually had content. Read more

Microsoft Support has added confusion and disinformation to their campaign against me.

It's working. I have no idea what they are thinking and am totally confused. I really am overestimating their competence and trust me, my estimate is low.

In our continuing correspondence (on varying subjects) they sent me a letter. Not just any letter but a support letter.

Ok so maybe Evil Empire is overkill, but I am beginning to hate them more then normal. It seems like everyone has a "Must Scam Ice" concept, Best Buy being the most recent.

"This I the weirdest thing I have ever seen! I don’t think I like it either/..."

Q-Bert/Jehreg will be so happy. He posted a story about a Xbox 360 Keyboard/Mouse adapter.

MaxConsole.net has posted a first look at a newer version, the XCM XFPS 360 Sniper Edition which promises greater sensitivity, smoothness and ultimately precision.

Livecard.net has shut down due to lack of support and bandwidth issues. This is the website we used to power our Live Status page. LiveCard left us with the following note:

Bad News Everybody!

Since so many of us have taken advantage of the $9.89 deal for Marvel Ultimate Alliance it has been suggested that we have a Superhero night.

So this morning as I threw Stormblade out of the house he suggested tonight.

So let's. First four players can join the Herd League for four-player co-op. Anyone else can form their own league.

EBGames is now selling Marvel: Ultimate Alliance for $9.89. Average review score of 83% at GameRankings.com. At this price those of us with two Xbox 360s could (did) pickup two copies. Please note that Marvel: Ultimate Alliance supports four player co-op over Live.

Also available at $9.89 was NHL2K7. Read more

I didn't really understand the point, idea, or advantages of the Halo 3 video capture/theater mode until I saw this clip.

It's hilarious and the player needed the replay to figure out how he had killed himself.

Ebgames has a deal on for used Xbox 360 games.

Buy one, get one for half price.

Forza 2 was $39.99 – two at this price cost $30 each(not buying it but it is a deal)
Rainbow Six Vegas and GRAW2 were $34.99 – two at this price cost $27 each(also a deal - time to get an extra)

All sorts of others available if you are looking to add to your collection.

I just don't get what packing Gnomes are thinking. I ordered a new keyboard and this is how it was packed for shipping.
The memory stick visible in the pictures is for scale.
Closed, the box as it arrived Read more

I have your PWN3D shirt. At least I think I do. I haven't opened the package to make sure it was right.
And some of you other cheapskates owe me money ... oh yeah ... I haven't given you a bill ...
