  The One Blog Not About Jeff

  Wow can you believe it? A new blog post that isn't about Jeff, well, not fully anyway.

  Tomorrow (Saturday) I will be moving out to my new house with my girlfriend, and about time as well.
  Unfortunately this means no internet for about 2 weeks. Anyone who was looking to play me on 360 or PS3, alas I shall not be online. But fret not! I shall be back and I will be playing all my games offline. I'll actually have time to play some more Mass Effect now.

  I'll be sure to post pictures of the place along with some TV/Console setups, and eventually my PC setup as well when I get my new one all ordered, in and built.

  Take it easy guys, and I hope this place doesn't go to pieces while I'm gone, don't know what CNET will do next.

  Welcome to the Dark Side

  So as you may or may not have gathered, I finally spanked down for a 360 Elite. Mind you, it probably wasn't worth it but I'm happy with Mass Effect, so I won't complain about it .... you know what stuff it, I am going to complain.

  Whats with this no built in Wi-Fi on the most expansive SKU? I gotta pay $170 for a POS little white thing (can't you even make a black one to go with the console?!?) that clips on the back and plugs in a USB port. Then, THEN I gotta pay for online? WTS is up with that! Your controllers run on battery's, seriously, you can't chuck in a rechargeable battery when consumers smack down $730? At least you give us a HDMI cable.

  Anyhow, feel free to add me on XBL, I feel so ronrey with only 2 friends. Also let me know what some good XBLA games are and I'll take a look at starting my colletion.
  Also feel free to tell me anything good about this to make me feel better about buying it.Because atm the only thing I like atm is Mass Effect and the fact that I can write some of it off on tax.

  An Act of God

  It would take an act of God to keep me off the internet.......................or my motherboard dieing on me.

  The latter happened.

  
  So the past, what, week? Two weeks? I've been computer-less and internet-less (sad face) but it hasn't been so bad.

  Work has been keeping me busy, I'm now an Assistant Manager at one of the GAME stores in Melbourne. I picked up an Elite (shock horror!) played and clocked Halo 3 in one sitting and honestly don't see what all the fuss is about. Half Life 2 runs rings around any Halo game. So call me a PC person, it just works better.
  Mass Effect is really spectacular though, and is a system seller for me.
  
  My 360 isn't hooked up to Live yet because you gotta pay for that crap and for the wireless adapter. Not happy with the system, but hey, product knowledge and I get to write some of it off on tax.

  On the PS3 I've been CoD4-ing, Judging some Eyes, Warhawking and I even got to play Assassins Creed at the Ubisoft Event in Melbourne last week.

  At anyrate, I'll be ordering in a new motherboard in the next few weeks and probably in a month (I gotta recouperate my $700 loss on the 360) or so I'll just get a whole new PC that will have pretty much top of the line hardware, including Q6600, 8800GTX, 2GB RAM and XP.. Yeah, XP. Maybe I'll dual boot it for Vista, who knows. Or maybe by then MS will actually make it functional....doubt it.

  In other news, me and my GF finally got accepted for a house to rent! We move out Dec 1st. Exciting!
