The 360 in XBOX Stands for the Number of Games I'll Have By 2007

I left that embarrassing childhood moment as the top post long enough...it was popular and thanks for all those comments...all that support. Especially to those who called me to laugh in person (that would be my brother). But now it's time to move on; at least until I dig up another embarrassing childhood moment.

To celebrate the start of the holiday shopping season, which we and thousands of other people technically started weeks ago...Katharine and I went to Target tonight. Or was that last night? Yeah, it's after midnight. I seem to have developed this strange new habit of buying games for the XBOX 360...as if I think I'm going to finish any of them anytime soon. Haven't I had the regular XBOX for a couple of years now? You'd think I've never played a game console.

Gears of War has the best graphics of any game I've ever seen. And creepy when the crawly locusts come at you from the ceiling! Ultimate Alliance lets you play as Marvel Comics characters...all of the ones you'd want to play anyway. And Smackdown Vs. Raw...I picked this up just now at Target...it gives you total control over most of the wrestling moves you see on TV.

It's true...everytime I play another game, I slide further into geekdom. Thankfully Katharine likes to watch me play...for her it's like watching a movie. Phew. What's coming out next week? We'll see.
