BEST POST EVER!

For your veiwing pleaseure, I present XO’s finest post ever.

Hip Suburban White Guy: THIS SPACE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK

What a night

I made it a point yesterday to get home a bit early so I could get my basement/rec room/man cave in progress cleaned up. I was going to get my PS3 and some other things moved back down stairs where they belong.  Primarily because of this:

That’s right, Metal Gear Solid 4 arrived, and from what I was able to play of it, so far, very cool. I did manage to get the room cleaned up and the furniture put together. Then after dinner, that bitch, Mother Nature showed up. Then all over the tubes was this:

So I flipped the channel, well because I wanted to know the weather in the Metro area, not in Trenton, MO. So I turn on Brian Busby on Channel 9. Well his audio was shit, because I could not hear it at all. So I flip over to Fox 4 for Mikey boy. So I am watching the live footage from the chopper they use, when he states his location. I think, self, isn’t that like really close by? And so I answer, yep, it is really close by. I go outside, and I look up and a bit west, and thar she is, the Fox4 Chopper filming a tiny little tornado birth. Granted sirens and what not are blowing, but from what I can see, (I read maps very well), on the intertubes and TV broadcasts, I should be ok if it keeps the current track. But wow, what a lightning show.

Well to get to the point, the primary reason I could not really enjoy that shiny new games was because the power was getting a bit flaky, and well I have lost a couple PC’s back in the day due to lightning strikes. So hopefully tonight or maybe tomorrow I will get a chance to enjoy the joygasm that will be MSG4.

Princess wants, princess gets…

This movie will be fun. And my spawn has made sure that it will happen.

But speaking of another princess, Hillary herself really needs to step down. I am tired of the race. This election has gone on too long. Throw them in a “Pit-O-Death” and let the aspiring leaders to be fight it out with crude bludgeoning weapons. To the death. Last person standing gets the spot. Make it a PPV event, screw delegates.....

Suggestions?

The Rightwing is Bat Shit Crazy

Notice the picture above? That is the ever popular and not too hard on the eyes Rachel Ray. One dumb ass Radio host (see image below), had managed to use scare tactics to get an ad removed, one that was not offensive by any sane level of reasoning.

What this Master of Ass-Hattery has managed to do is censorship. How in the world does this scarf equal terrorist? I believe a good old fashioned dry ass rape is on order. Some people are just so un-hinged that no amount of help or what not will help. The only reason ass hats like this can even get a job is the 1st Amendment, and that is one thing I would never have weakened. So I say let her hang herself with enough of the rope she is making.

Linkage update and minor tweaks.

This has been way overdue, but I have hopefully fixed the avatar issues. If not please let me know.

and I have added the following link, in no particular order.

Midtown Miscreant
The Most Awesome, the D Rules
RDM Random Remarks

Shame on me for not keeping up with the avant guard of writers in this town.

Memorial Day Weekend

As The D stated. Let us not forget those of whom this holiday was designated. This is not for those vets that made it back. This is for those that did not. So if you are BBQ’ing this weekend, have a beer for one of those who did not make it back. My old unit is still over seas kicking in doors, and I gotta say, I hope that they all make it home safe. For those that did not, I know I will never forget.

As you were.

I could see a use for this…

For all you WoW-heads.

SuperDuper!

Used a pretty cool piece of software today called SuperDuper!. This application is written for OSX, and what it allows me to accomplish is a complete backup of my hard drive to an external one, and make the external drive bootable. For example, in my case I made a bootable copy of my system on Maxtor 500GB USB. Why is that so cool? Well I was upgrading my Mac, and did not need my install boot disc to bring my system back. I just booted off of the USB device and then ran SuperDuper! to restore my newly installed hard drive (which let me run the Disk Utility to partition it properly first). My reason for upgrading was one, 2.5” laptop (SATA based) drives are dirst cheap, and secondly I had only 6.5GB of space left on a 100GB drive, (Digital cameras are my weakness). So I placed a 250GB drive in and restored it. This allowed my to have all my software already set up and all my data that went along with it. Very nice I thought. Reminds me pof the days of Norton’s Ghost without the requirements of a boot disk.

I would give this software a 5 out of 5 for both the price (27.95 US), and for ease of use. Good stuff.

Metal Gear Solid 4

Hell, yeah! Reserved my copy yesterday, paid in full. Already have leave blocked in for a few days of joyus pixel based destruction. Plus an online element too? Schwiiiing.

The trailer is 15 minutes long. And shows actual ingame footage.

Have fun.

Mario Cart Wii

OK freaks and those of you who deny it. If you notice the column on the right, you will see a series of numbers or names that are associated with several online capable games that I play. Well I added a new one last night. And that would be the on for Mario Cart Wii. Unfortunately I have not had a chance to play it, was fairly busy. But rest assured, by the time I get finished practicing the victory dance when I crush my 8 year old daughter, I will be ready to blow the rest of you away online.

Big, Bam, Boom!

Holy smokes. I would like to thank those in Johnson County who decided to turn the sirens off and on every 8 minutes. For those that did not have a clue of why they did that until the local news stations mentioned it, we may have thought it was safe to go back top side. But damn, what a storm. I managed to clean out half of my garage in 7 minutes flat, when I heard that quarter sized hail was reported in Lawrence. I was able to safely tuck my Element in the safety of the House Mother. Myself, I needed to be up at 0330 to get into to work, so naturally, being the light sleeper that I am, at 0110, the second round struck. So here I am at work, trying to avoid getting “Rubber Neck Syndrome”, thus resulting in a lump on my already awesome forehead.

Oh well, I will just try to stay awake as best I can. Suggestions on how to stay awake at work and not get fired while doing that?

Honda Element

This is the newest addition to my vehicle inventory. I traded in my 2002 Jeep Liberty for a Honda Element in the color shown above. Why?10 MPG more then the Liberty, plus the amount of space inside these things is amazing. The sales staff and finance officer on the used lot at Oneil Honda were awesome, and took the time to explain exactly everything they were about to do. Which was cool. No pressure what so ever.

If you want to talk to Tony for you next car here, drop me a line and I will get you my name, that way I can get my referral fee. But seriously, if you are looking for a better car for economy and service, look them up.

Grand Turismo 5 Prologue

Gotta say this, WOW! I picked up this game today for under $40 (before tax), and after the initial setup and content update, I am absolutely blown away by this game. This is the most realistic driving simulator I have ever had the privilige to interact with. The above footage shows just a glimps at what the content has. This game has taken advantage of the precessing power of the Playstation 3, with the media abilities provided by BluRay (meaning the amount they could provide due to space available).

The developers did an outstaning job, and for content and detail like this, I have no problem giving up money to support further devlopment.

Go rent it or buy it today if you have a PS3. This game may just be the reson for you to get one of not. Go try a demo system somewhere and see.

Can’t make this shit up

From the Los Angeles times. This STORY about religion is big news again. Over 400 children were placed into state custody due to polygamist’s pretty much raping these brainwashed girls. When are the sheep in this country that blindly follow people who claim they speak for a god of any sort, gonna wake up and THINK?

I have a history of writing about dumb ass criminals and religious types. This is just too sad to be true. Unfortunately it is.
