Jumping In

Filed under: LiveJournal Cross-Post, Xbox 360 — wedge55 @ 10:13 AM

I finally joined the current generation and bought an Xbox 360 this past weekend. Now I can sit at the grownups’ table and do stuff like this:

Can a sidebar widget be far behind?

“Going forward,” expect lots of impressions of years old games that are no longer relevant and poorly edited Halo 3 videos. On the Internet! The DORK Club innovates again.

  2. My Xbox Live ID is tied to my Windows Live ID which is tied to my MSN ID. This means there are random fansite editors and Chinese forum moderators on my Xbox Live friends list.

  5. woo, add LadyGuardian and I’ll make space for you when I take my system home to my parents’ this weekend so I can get it online for the one and only time this summer.

    Comment by wedge55 — July 8 [2008] @ 9:30 AM

  7. I tried to add you but it yelled at me because your friends list is full. =(

    Comment by wedge55 — July 9 [2008] @ 11:15 AM

  8. It’s okay — I wouldn’t add wedge either.

    Comment by vector_black — July 10 [2008] @ 9:30 AM

  9. Probably going to play some Aegis Wing by myself later.

    Comment by wedge55 — July 10 [2008] @ 11:32 AM

  10. Don’t forget! This weekend is the DORK Club OA marathon!

    Comment by vector_black — July 10 [2008] @ 1:30 PM

  11. Yeah, I suck. MS needs to add a bigger friends list for gold members! Let’s start a revolution.

    Comment by LadyGuardian — July 14 [2008] @ 10:29 AM

  12. I logged on Skype early on Saturday morning, but nobody else came to the OA marathon.

    So I got the Marathon Man achievement in Halo 3 instead.

    Comment by wedge55 — July 14 [2008] @ 3:03 PM

  13. I was hosting my own OA marathon skype party… dunno where the hell you were. I had chips and everything.

    Sign back into AIM one of these days, LG, and say hi! Even if only briefly. It’s a less awesome place without you.

    Comment by hahndog — July 15 [2008] @ 10:27 AM

  16. I’VE BEEN TOO BUSY ACHIEVEMENT HUNTING IN HALO 3!

    I’ll play some EDF tonight though. I think I need to go back and play some earlier missions on a harder difficulty so I can unlock new weapons and get past the level I’m stuck on.

    Comment by wedge55 — July 15 [2008] @ 12:28 PM

  17. i dont care watch you do just get above 1 percent imo

    Comment by hahndog — July 15 [2008] @ 4:10 PM

  18. All the achievements for the game involve clearing all the levels on each difficulty level, so it’ll be a while yet.

    Comment by wedge55 — July 15 [2008] @ 4:21 PM

  19. how is EDF? I’ve seen it cheapish around here.

    Comment by LadyGuardian — July 15 [2008] @ 5:23 PM

  20. Ace Combat 6

    Comment by vector_black — July 15 [2008] @ 9:04 PM

  21. EDF is both better and worse than I was expecting!

    Basically, it’s completely mindless, Smash TV/Total Carnage-esque madness with B-movie monsters and great local co-op. And with 100 giant ants on the screen at once.

    Comment by wedge55 — July 17 [2008] @ 1:50 PM

    Comment by vector_black — August 3 [2008] @ 10:12 PM

Happy 64th birthday, Richard “Detective John Munch” Belzer of Homicide: Life on the Streets, The Beat, The Wire, Law and Order, Law and Order: SVU, Law and Order: Trial by Jury, Arrested Development, The X Files, and Sesame Street! It’s your birthday today! Wedge55 will now link to that one dude’s super-intricate St. Elsewhere matrix that tells us how everything works.

    Comment by vector_black — August 4 [2008] @ 9:38 AM

  45. Maybe tonight I’ll write some Bioshock impressions. Or maybe I’ll just spend my hour and a half of free time playing Crackdown.

    WHICH ONE WILL IT BE?!

    Comment by wedge55 — August 4 [2008] @ 2:57 PM

    Comment by hahndog — August 9 [2008] @ 10:39 AM

  55. Both Bernie Mac and Issac Hayes died this weekend. I can’t help but think that if wedge55 posted more often, they would somehow still be alive.
