What a week!!

I am so glad for this weekend!! YAY!

Tonight was game night, and we all had a blast. A few folks showed up and we loaded up Halo 3 and some Rock Band. We probably would have played Rock Band all night, but it finally happened. The yellow drum pad broke completely off (it was either the yellow or green one, sorry I’m color blind!). So that was cut short and now I must replace yet another piece of equipment for that game. First, it was the drum pedal, which quickly snapped in half after having it for not even a month. Next it looks like my guitar will be going out. The strum bar is getting pretty weak. I should just pick up the complete Rock Band 2 set anyways, have yet to pick up that game.

But Halo was fun, until (yeah it’s always something with me, right?) we had problems loading maps. I’ve NEVER had problems with being booted, not being able to load maps and what not. Until recently! I think my game disc has just been overplayed and is not loading the maps correctly. In fact I hear a little “click” when it tries to load some maps. Yeah I know, I was worried it was the hard drive too, but it’s rather evident that it’s coming from the DVD tray. So yay, another game I have to replace. I have had 2 other games get scratched from my own Xbox. Yeah somehow the system put a rather thick scratch line all the way around a couple of my game discs. I was NOT happy about it then and am still not happy about it now. ARGH! Plus I do seem to get booted more now, not sure if it’s the game disc issue or just my overall network issues. I have had this router for awhile and this modem, maybe they too are starting to flake out.

OH, and I got to dust off my old skating skills. Devon brought over his 755 (?) board and I gave it a try. I have no problems riding, even though I skate goofy, but the ollies weren’t coming to me as easily as I remember. I managed to land a few, but nothing spectacular. I really do miss skating!

The biggest news today was that I got my new gadget. A multimedia player, it’s awesome and hope to do a full picture review this weekend. I really like it. Have to get a few more things to make it exactly what I want, but it’s off to a great start.

So yeah, I best get some sleep. Night everyone.
