  Red rings and full frontal nudity!

  Few days back my Xbox 360 broke for the second time in two years, thank you for that microsoft. I have to send it in for repairs sometime soon but i didnt get the red rings, so i dont know if they 'll fix it for free. When i turn the console on everything looks fine, 2 minutes later i lose half the colors on screen and the graphics look really dull. It doesnt matter if i wait at the dashboard or play a game, the same thing will happen every time. I love this console but seriously though 360's are as fragile as potato chips.

  One of the worst things about the time my Xbox 360 chose to die, is that i wont be able to play the "Lost and Damned" DLC expansion for Grand theft Auto 4 and i was really looking forward to that. There is an ongoing discussion on websites, forums and gaming blogs about how "Lost and Damned" contains male full frontal nudity, practically what that means is that you can see the dude's penis during a cutscene in the game. Whats the big deal? I mean honestly i dont get it, if you are old enough to play a mature-rated game you are old enough to see a penis in it. Whats up with the puritanism when it comes to videogames, movies are doing that for decades. Its ridiculous, if you are a man its not like you 've never seen one and i doubt that there are many women who are playing the game.

  Not being able to play on my xbox, i rediscovered PC gaming which is great if you have a decent enough gaming pc. I played a lot of Crysis , Trackmania nations forever and an old addiction of mine Civilization 4. This game, as most civ4 fans know, is like a time machine. Yes, what i am saying is that Sid Meier managed to build a time machine and not because you are able to lead your Civilization from the stone age through the dark ages to the industrial revolution and finally modern times. No, its like a time machine because if you start a game lets say at 10pm ,when you finally finish the game or are to tired to continue playing, it will be like 6am in the morning and you 'll have no idea how the hell that happened. So if unlike me you have a job, stay away from Civ4 or it will get you fired for sure. One last thing i forgot to mention is that i also played more of Left 4 Dead on steam and as you already know this game is amazing. I got half the steam achievements , i just wish they were added on my xbox live achievements. Microsoft should buy Valve!
