Lack of News, Faulty C.E. Force Dan out of Closet
Thanks to Microsoft designing the most unreliable* piece of consumer electronics (CE) I’ve ever owned, combined with a total lack of exciting news from the DanCathua (… er, Mari-Joshudan… JoDaMa… yeah…. that’s not really working, is it?) clan, my secret shame of “gaming” has been exposed.
As can be expected after owning an Xbox 360 for just over a year, my poorly engineered “Media Center” buckled under the call of duty and lit up a halo-ringed mushroom cloud as it crapped its way into oblivion. For a moment, a stray thought gave me pause: “Is this really a bad thing? Your late nights could become more productive… sleep, constructively kanoodling on the interwebs, blogging, writing, inventing an engine that gets 132.5 miles to the gallon…” Luckily irrationality took over, shouting a resounding reminder that, “YES, Rational Brain! It is a bad thing!”
And thus, despite my 360′s nose dive thanks to a well-known and widespread manufacturing defect, I’m going to bend over and give Microsoft $75 of my hard earned stripping money so they can “fix” what they broke.
God bless capitalism.
In the mean time, for all you snickering at my sad plight and asking yourselves, “How old is this guy?”– I’d bet $1.23 to two dozen Hostess Old Fashioned Glazed Cake donuts that my hand/eye coordination would trounce you in a social game of thumb wrestling.
Should that fail, I’d totally pwn you in Halo.
*To the 360′s credit, it is completely reliable on one front: an uncanny knack of breaking down just after the warranty expires. Zing!
well, if it makes ya feel any better…your love of “gaming” was no secret. Ever since the days of the good ole Intelvision (or whatever it was we once had) your minor addiction has been hidden behind no closet doors. But welcome to the light of admitting your “problem”…lol. May the lack of sleep and carpal tunnel causing fun continue into the wee hours of the morning! Otherwise, where would Joshy get those great theme songs for all his exciting adventures?
It WAS secret… in my MIND. Well, maybe not to members of the family, but to other strangers visiting this blog… now I’ve been outted. Nevertheless! I shall prevail. Joshua will have his soundtrack catalog back. Mark. My. Words.
Ahhhhh shucks. Ya almost almost got a good night sleep.
