What A Weekend

There were a lot of interesting things that happened this weekend.

Friday Night,
First, as soon as I got off of work, the wife and I went to get her phone looked at. I think she has a bad battery, but the store we took it too didn't have the proper tools to diagnose it. So just before we left the store, we got a call from my mom saying she was close to where we were and if we wanted to go to dinner. By this time it was around 8 at night when we finally set our minds on a nice in-town BBQ place. I nearly ate one whole rack of Ribs. They were GOOD!!! My mother, during dinner, said that her co-worker, who's been married for less than three months, thinks that being married is the best thing in the world. My wife, I have to love her, said, "Wait until you're married for longer than a year." I just turned my head and looked at her. She continued to eat as if nothing had happenned when she finally looked at me and realized what she had said. My mom was busting up laughing and I couldn't help but laugh also. After that, we went to Sam's Club. I saw this book that I, for one reason or another, couldn't resist buying. "Generation Kill" was only $10 so I picked it up without a second thought. Can't wait to read that one.

Saturday,
I went with my wife to get the oil in her car changed. My mother, who was looking for a new car anyway, accompanied us and ended up purchasing a brand new Honda Accord. But the issue was that we went to the dealership at 11 am and didnt leave until 3 pm. It wasn't long until 6:30 pm hit and we had to go to a play Les Misérables performed by the Christian Youth Theater (CYT). Three of the youth from my youth group were performing and my mother, my wife and I appluaded everything that was done. THEY WERE AWESOME. It was almost as good as a broadway musical. My wife caught the ire of one of the actresses when she said she didn't really understand anything that was happening. I laughed at how angry the actress got.

Sunday,
We went to Church (I don't normally talk about church, but will becasue...) and found out that my pastor's father was near death (he infact pasted away at 1 am this morning). After that, the wife and I went to see WALL-E. It was a GREAT movie. Not much on the human plot, but the robots stole the show! Then we came home and watched movies all night. Busy to say the least.

What's Up With Being Sarcastic

I don't know what it is, but whenever I put the words Sarcastic Gamer on a post, I get at least one comment telling me how much they suck. WTF?!?!?! Get over it!

Why are you killing me Twitter! I like talking to my friends. I wouldn't mind it if they had advertising if it kept the service up!

Bad Company or Bad Disc

Here is an interesting article from Sarcastic Gamer. Are you having the same problem. Let them know by leaving a comment.

Episode 7 Topic List

In Episode 7, two guest hosts (One Geezer and one Celebrity Guest Host) and myself talk about several things:

Atari threating to sue websites that gave their game an unfavorable review.
Battlefield Bad Company and how Sarcastic Gamer helped stop them from charging for weapons.
Battlefield Bad Company satire video's.
What we expected from the Big 3 at E3.
Interview this week was with a Walrus P****.

We tried to stay on topic, but weren't always successfull. Coming in at around 1 hour and 14 minutes. I would also like to say that the Celebrity Guest Host completely blew myself and my fellow Geezer out of the water with all his awesome talking. I welcome him back at any time and I hope you all enjoy the show.

What's In A Name

I am going to go ahead and float my boat here a little. Because of an earlier post, Lono from the Sarcastic Gamer website mentioned my blog and my GamerTag on their podcast. Although he did it with the best intention, and I should have seen this coming, he completely murdered my GamerTag on the show. He called me JediCrick. I applaud him for giving me a shout-out, but since I didn't know he was going to do this, I never had a chance to let him know the proper pronunciation of my GamerTag. It turns out that half of my friends on XBL didn't even know how to pronounce my GT until I started doing the podcast. So here it is...for EVERYONE.

Jedi Chric is pronounced Jedi Sheer-ick.

Oh, and Episode 7 will be taped tonight. I will be having a guest co-host that's not SparkStalker and a "Special" guest-host that you will know of if you visit my blog on a regular basis.

Bad, Bad World Company

Has anyone seen the new trailers for Battlefield: Bad Company? THEY ARE FREAKIN FUNNY!!!! I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw the Rainbow Sprinkles video and the Bad World one isn't that bad either. Here they are in all their glory!

"Bad World"


"Rainbow Sprinkles"


Let me know what you think of them. Are they funny?

Unmentionable!

The wife is so special. We divided the chores because of how sick she had been and I volunteered (by volunteered I mean she told me) to put away the laundry. Before I could reach the laundry, she looked me in the eyes and said, “Do you know how to put away the laundry?” I just looked at her and tried not to laugh. I grabbed the laundry basket and headed up-stairs. I immediately put away my things. Very easy to take care of for me. I have one drawer for underwear, one for socks, two for shirts and one for knit shorts and long pajama pants. It doesn’t take me more than a minute to finish. Then I look at her things (most of the basket) and sort them out. First shirts, then pants, unmentionables, socks and misc. items. I go to her drawer and open it up. I see that there are shirts and blouses are in there, so I throw in the shirts and close the drawer. I open up the drawer right next to it and it’s filled with unmentionables. Okay...so I close it and open up the drawer right below it and what do I find...more unmentionables!!! So I think I got them all sorted out and go down stairs thinking that my job is done. My lovely wife thinks it would be cute to check my work and decides to come upstairs. She laughed and said that the drawer I put her shirts in was an unmentionable drawer... HOW MANY UNMENTIONABLE DRAWERS DOES SHE HAVE?? I couldn’t believe it!

14,000!!!

I got one of the easiest Achievements last night and the most ironic thing about it was that one achievement pushed me to my current Gamerscore of 14,000. What achievement, you ask. Well, in Rainbow Six: Vegas (the original), you can get 30 gamerscore for making a custom face creation using the XBL Vision Camera (one of it's few uses) and that put me to 14,000. I'm so BAD!!! :~P

Got Radio?

I was able to get Episode 6 of Geezer Radio done last night. Here are the topics that we (my unknown co-host) covered:

Team Ninja Defections
Microsoft Avatars
Will Metal Gear Solid 4 and Bluray push sales of the PS3
Playstation Network updates for the XMB and Trophies
Mobile Gaming for MS?
Interview from a fellow Geezer at the M&G

This Episode is only 1 hour and 3 minutes so it is a little shorter than the previous one. I want all feedback! Thanks! :~)

Just To Let You Know

Episode 6 will be taping tonight. A fellow Geezer will be co-hosting but he isn't in the SE (GG South East). Who is it? Are you interested? Are you ready?

Sony has finially realized that gamers love to show off their accomplishments. As an Xbox Gamer since 2004, and a Xbox 360 owner since launch in 2005, I have had a GamerCard that is also on this Blog. The Official Playstation Blog has announced that Trophies will be added to the PSN for us to show how great we did in a certain game. It's ABOUT TIME!!! Now all they need to do is push out Home, their version of GamerCards and some good games and XBL needs to watch out.
