....a couple random things....
Obviously it's 4:30 am and I'm bored. I've been running an Exalted game lately that I've been inordinately pleased with. Normally most games that I run end up dying out after a few sessions, either because I hate it or that the player pool dries up. This one is different however, it's got staying power!! I've got great players and lots of interesting things to explore in characters and storylines. I'm very happy with it.
Another thing I'm quite pleased with is my Xbox 360. I just got it back from repairs the other day and there's a few interesting things I note. First, the front loading mechanism for the DVD seems to be quite a bit more "aggressive". I was always annoyed with how sluggish the response on the eject button was, now it damn near shoots the disk into my chest!! Interestingly, they seem to have changed the cooling fans. It's much quieter now, but even more fascinating is that the fans stay on for several minutes after powering off the system. I can only imagine this is to help cool the machine down in an effort to avoid the red rings problem.
For some reason I'm also giddily looking forward to the new Xbox experience. Seems kinda silly, but I can't wait for the launch. :)
