Broken Thoughts

Job Hunt

Well it was a good 6 years with Moroch.  The 2 years of internship and workin my way up to Sr. Production Artist.  The economy has finally bit me where it counts.  Initial shock is over and it is time to get the ball bouncing again.  Will be updating quite a few things around here.  And hopefully wont be out of work for too long.  Will be lookin for any freelance web development and animation out there.

Been a While

Been a bit since I have posted anything, so here is a bit of an update. I now have a twitter account per a requests at work. Who knows how long I can keep that up. I added a section at the top and sidebar for it. http://twitter.com/groundforce_sdr

Had my birthday, 11.06.08. That was pretty good. Had a dinner at Texas Roadhouse one night then went to Master Grill Steakhouse ‘Churrascaria’ one night. Both were great. Didn’t get to spend any of my B-Day money on myself really. Got a damn ticket for not wearing my !@#$ seat belt; which I think is one of the most ridiculous laws ever. I had not even made the block around my house when she got me for this. Wasn’t even kind enough for a warning that close to my house. Anyways enough of that.

Gears of War 2 kick ass. I have been playing that since it came out(got it for b-day). Before that I was playing Fallout 3; which i rented, and Baja: Edge of Control(bought). Those are both really great and intended for extended game play, so i will be getting back to them after i finish GOW2. Cant forget a bout FarCry 2, been playing that through also. It has been kind of confusing following all the stories so I am going to narrow down and finish one off at time.

That is a bout it. Looking forward to the Thanksgiving holiday.

OUT

Another Broken XBox 360

Almost a year to the date, I have another XBox 360 breakdown. The 3 red lights strike again. This will now be my 3rd system and second time to loose all of my data. With no XBox live at home I have lost it all, gamerscore, saved games, everything’s gone. I’m no part-time gamer either, that was a lot of freaking time put on this thing and to loose it all because of Microsoft rushing to get their systems out. DAMN, This is getting old.

I don’t understand how so many systems with such bad production or hardware or whatever the cause may be slip through Microsoft’s hands. Just do a Google search, you will find this same kind of problem all over the place. I wonder if there is some kind of count for kept for systems being replaced?

Thank you, Best Buy and their 2 year replacement plan. It has saved me again, money wise anyway. With my last replacement I went ahead and upgraded to the Elite XBox 360. This same package is now $100 cheaper and comes with 2 games; Forza2 and Ultimate Alliance. I guess that is a good thing to come from this.
