Oddball Update

Another week passes with not a peep out of me. The big news this week is that my crew and I have finally wrapped up our foremost client website project.

Kokoro from DOA4

One of the most anticipated new titles for the Xbox360 — Dead or Alive 4 — finally arrived a few weeks ago, and I recently picked up a copy.

I continue to experience the three-quadrant red LED error once in a while when I first turn the console on, but so far a reboot has always cured it and allowed me to play for hours thereafter. I discovered that particular error code indicates a nondescript hardware failure, so I’m not sure what exactly the deal is. I figure I’ll buy the 2-year Microsoft warranty and I’ll be covered in case it gets worse.

Got my Xbox360 today, right on time. Thank you, EB Games and FedEx. Everything seems to be working well; the only issue was that EB didn’t send me one of the games I ordered.

Whilst in Michigan last month, I picked up a couple of used Xbox games — one of which was the new L.A. Rush driving game from Midway. I’ve been playing it off-and-on for the last couple of weeks. It started off okay, overall.

Got an email update from EB Games regarding my Xbox360 order. The launch date for the console — 11/22 — is right around the corner, and the email confirmed that preordered bundles would be shipping out on Monday the 21st.

I haven’t played a game on my PC in quite a while. The last thing I played was the F.E.A.R. demo.

Last night, for the first time, I got pissed off at Final Fantasy X.
It all began with the championship Blitzball game at Luca Stadium.

All right, let me explain why I have never been, am not, and probably never will be good at role-playing games. Because I ALWAYS CHOOSE THE WRONG DAMN OPTION.
Yesterday afternoon, for old times’ sake, I decided to break out Final Fantasy VII.

Nintendo has revealed the controller for their next-gen console (the Revolution), and it looks like a TV remote control.
