Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yep. 360 Time with AG will be quite fun if Skizz is able to join in. At least, I assume so, since I haven't been able to join in either. XD

Working on trying to find as good of a deal on a 360 as I can, which might mean trying to find a used one. Even one from the older generation without wireless would be acceptable. The 4 GB new model won't do, and I might just go with the 250 GB model. Ideally, I'd like something a little less expensive, since I don't know how much I'll use it for aside from AG gaming. Problem is, I don't necessarily trust a lot of the AZ postings for used 360s.

Don't forget I'm renting out the remains for... research. Twenty three dollars and fiddy cents an hour, right? ninja

Your best bet for a used 360 is going to be Gamestop. Try to get a later model refurbish. It'll run you a little bit more than used in the paper, but you'll have a company (and an extended warranty, if that's how you roll) behind it, rather than just some dude who wants to get rid of his possibly flawed and possibly already bricked system.

If you go with an older system rather than a new one, then grabbing a 120 gig drive is also an option (60 and 20 are both way too small for comfort and getting kinda scarce these days, but the 60 could be a stopgap measure til then).



And speaking of Xbox gaming, there's some bits of interesting news.

First, people waiting for Brink have a slightly SHORTER wait. 7 days shorter, to be exact. It'll be coming out one week earlier than its previously announced date of May 17th. You'll be able to get your hot little mitts on it as of Tuesday, May 10th. Will you be fighting to save the Ark or to get the ******** off it? I think I'm gonna be with the Resistance at first, since the makeshift look of their weapons intrigues me.

Second, anyone wondering what it'd be like to have played Dead Rising 2 as someone who has covered wars (you know), REJOICE! Kin, I so thought of you when I saw the ZOMBIE WRASSLING. This, like DR2, has Bro-op written all over it. Possibly in crayon... maybe even with finger-paint.

Third? New trailer for ANGRY: THE VIDYA, replete with Buddha punching action.

Next, we've got a deadline a-looming. If you bought Bulletstorm new and redeemed the code in the case, you're set to begin the Gears of War 3 Beta next Monday. If your access to the beta is due to having reserved Gears 3, you've got another week's wait. I know myself and Kin (and maybe Zero, depending on how he grabbed Bulletstorm) will be entitled to partake here, and partake I believe we both shall. There's several flaming weapons to be unlocked here, as well as a gold variant of the Classic Lancer. These will, once unlocked fully, carry over into one's retail copy of the game, as will the unlock I know Kin and I are extremely excited for... Cole in his Thrashball uniform. Rejoice, ********. Now I'm just curious as to what, if any, variant outfits they'll have down the road for Baird. I hope they're lulz-tastic.

And lastly, I just started playing Battlefield: Bad Company's multiplayer, and according to several teammates on early matches, I'm a solid team player and a definite asset to my team despite a lack of experience. My assault and engie bros were delighted to have a support player behind them who was quick to toss the medpack into easy-to-reach locations and support them by laying cover fire, spotting targets, and tag vehicles with tracers for incoming doom assists. They also liked that rather than charging in front of them to get kills, I was more than happy to cover alternate routes of approach to our location in case someone thought to roll our squad from the side.

Brother's got ice cream in his veins.

Reminds me of if Medabots incorporated aspects of Parappa the Rappa.

Some of the rhyming sounds off in my head, but I love the machine designs. Also, ice cream, my favorite.

OH SWEET SWEET BRO AND HELLA JEFF!

Why is it that when I visit the AG, something awesome ALWAYS appears?
