  Gamecube Returns

  Over this Thanksgiving weekend I was in Queens @ my cousins house while my girlfriend(who lives with me since her parents kicked her out) stayed at her friend's house. I came back home saturday night and hooked up my HDTV which I got on Black Friday and had all of sunday to myself enjoying my freedom from her nagging and constant rubbing next to me. She returned yesterday night(monday) with a surprise package with her. A MOTHER FROGGING GAMECUBE!!!

  For those of you who don't know already, I was a Nintendog all my life. Genesis & Dreamcast were worthy contenders that made me drift to another company but I always kept my heart to Nintendo. But after the Gamecube Nintendo decided to go to more family friendly games with the Wii which is why I departed and switched sides to the Xbox 360.

  Back to the story. My girlfriend brought her Gamecube with my favorite gaming series of all time: Resident Evil Zero, Resident Evil (GC Remake), Resident Evil 4, Sonic Mega Collection(makes me want to download the games even more on my Xbox 360), and Zelda Wind Waker. I'm so excited now that I can play games that I actually enjoy and love. Not to say any games I have currently on the 360 aren't fun, but I'm only playing certain ones for Achievements and it's more like work than fun.

  With this gesture I think any resentment I had for my g/f just flew out the window. Seriously think I might be in love... naaah

  - Rock.

  HDTV minus HDMI access -insert sad face-

  So I finally got my hands on an HDTV(a cheap one I might add) on Black Friday. The Sanyo 26", model no. - DP26649. I was so excited that I finally could play in my own room without having to go to the livingroom. But I get home hook everything up(including my crazy a/v reciever and sweet speakers) only to find out that my xbox 360 pro doesn't have an HDMI port. This left me sitting on the floor of my room angry knowing that my cousin who also went to black friday with me to buy his own HDTV has an Xbox 360 Arcade but it has an HDMI port...

  So i'm stuck using the component cables... -sigh-

  - Rock.

  Surviving the first week...

  Everyone I know has had Modern Warfare 2 since the week before it's street date. I haven't gotten the game yet because of Black Friday coming up and I'm currently unemployed. Saving my unemployment I told myself to stick to the plan this year and finally get that HDTV I've been itching to get since I got my 360 last January. I was so tempted to get MW2, but I kept focused by going for the Gears of War 2 achievement to reach level 50, which I just got thanks to the help of the triple experience week. I'll be playing horde for the remainder of the week to get my mind off ANOTHER big game release that I want: LEFT 4 DEAD II. I have a week and a half then it's turkey day & hopefully my first weekend in my home playing in high-def without having to go to the living room.

  - Rock.
