RSS? Really Simple, Stupid!

Or something. I used RSS for a while now with comics and a couple other sites, but, until recently, I just had a folder I clicked in Firefox to view the posts. Not too spectacular. But today I found Brief, a Firefox addon, that is too awesome. Now I'm addicted to RSS feeds.

In other news, I sent back my Rock Band guitar today. So hopefully I'll get that soon. I like GH3's controller (which is good since I'm using it in the mean time), but I love the solo buttons on the Rock Band one. I also got Avatar on the 360 and "beat" it in 1 minutes. When I say "beat," I mean I got 1000/1000 gamerscore from it. What a cheesy game, but I'll take it.

Tomorrow I get off at 2:30. I should have Resident Evil: Extinction on Blu-ray when I get home tomorrow. Sunday we're going to the new Sam's Club. It opened today, but no way am I going today. It should be a blast thought.

What happened? PS3!?

Yes, the world has indeed ended. I am a proud owner of a PS3! I don't have any games with it, but I did rent a couple. I rented God of War and Resistence. The first game I've ever played on my PS3 is, in fact, a PS2 game. So go figure. But it has potential to go all the way. In other news, we got approved for 100k for a house. So that's good. Now we just have to find one.

Anyway. I gotta redo all the wires behind the TV this Saturday and hook everything up proper. My 360 is coming home this Friday!

What a fucking great week for gaming!

E3 was a bore

A whole lot of nothing much.

Microsoft
Umm… I really don't remember anything from that one

Nintendo
Wii Board is cool. I may lose some weight
Mario Kart online. Finally! But no Smash Bros online
Zapper looks awesome. Glad it's cheap too.
Few good DS games

Sony
Home looks awesome.
Echo Chrome looks like M. C. Escher made it. Instabuy if I had a PS3

That's the highlights. Not much happened. Though, it was fun to watch the stuff live. I really miss my 360. I'm going to complain again tomorrow, but I doubt it does anything helpful. It was strange, because I was in the same situation at work today. Someone was wondering how long until they could see their courses in Blackboard, but I didn't know since it wasn't our problem. Ironic, don't you think?

I guess I'll play with my Wii a bit. Then I'm going to play Super Mario World.

Mortal Kombat for Wii is fun!

Josh and I’ve been playing MK:A for the Wii all day. It’s great! There tons of characters to not choose from. So far we’ve been creating our own bitches. I’ve created Gambit and am currently trying to figure out my second character. Josh has all ready turned in his penis by creating Sailor Moon. Now he’s turning in his left testicle creating Wonder Woman. I wonder what woman will take his right testicle.

Another great thing about the Wii version is the Kreate-A-Fatality with the Wii controls. You have to wave your arms like a retarded Anime character to get fatalities to work. You can string them together and humiliate your opponent.

I’m not sure which version would be better. The 360 version or the Wii. The 360 boasts better graphics and online play. But the Wii version has superior controls. It’s a tough choice. But since I don’t have a 360 at the moment, it really doesn’t matter.

EDIT: Well, I just found out that there isn’t a 360 version. Oops! I guess the Wii version is the superior one.
