Things that have happened recently
- I plead not guilty to the left turn thing I mentioned last posting, and the case ended up dismissed. Rawk.
- I bought a fancy-pants mouse for my computer. I like it a good bit, but wish the IM and email notifications worked with the programs I use.
- I also bought a less-fancy keyboard. It's a nice design, and I like it even more. It was cheap, USB, and slightly ergonomical.
- In an act of enormous hypocracy, I bought an Xbox 360. I had been explaining to my coworker Nate how overrated I thought the machine was, when Andrey (pronounced as if there were no y,) another coworker told me that one we'd been holding for over a month was available. I'd gotten my referral bonus for John, Chris' brother, so I bit the bullet. I had Perfect Dark Zero already for free from Microsoft.
I like it. It's not replacing the Xbox in any way, especially since none of my games will actually run on the new one yet... but it is a nice system. I got the protetction plan on it though, because MS and Sony put time bombs in their systems.
- Watched a few movies. The only one of note I can recall was Cabin Fever, which was incredible. Oh, also The Hole. I liked that one too. Yep.
- Also bought a flash card device for my DS. With it, I can run DS and GBA roms. It's handy. I will go into the games I've played in a later post. I've also been meaning to go into detail on how all of this stuff is done, and the approx. cost in case anyone wants to know.
