Holding your breath hurts. The human body needs oxygen. In that sense, Microsoft is trying to end my life. I don’t appreciate that in the least. Day 9 in my Xbox 360 watch finds me stuck in a state of hope and fear. A call could come from GameStop at any moment saying that my Xbox 360 has arrived. Then again, I might not get that call for another couple weeks. It is all up in the air, and I’m a fool for getting my hopes up. That won’t stop these foolish thoughts though. “It could be today,” my brain states. “Why do you hate me,” I ask my brain. “Because you don’t read enough,” quips my brain. Ahhhh, brain. You’re just hungry. That’s why you’re so mean. I’ll pick up a gamer magazine for you on the way home. Then we both win. Filed under: A 47 Danger and Rant and Xbox 360 Comments: 1 Comment |

Sony reached a landmark in PlayStation 2 sales yesterday.
Not to diminish their success, but let’s look at this in the larger sense. Putting all of the PS2s sold end to end would only get you 8% of the way to the moon. They’d only fill of the Grand Canyon 0.00001321% of the way. Heck, they’d only make it 76% of the way around the Earth. Give me a call when you can get to the moon and back, Sony. Then we’ll talk about landmark sales. Filed under: A 47 Danger and PS2 and Rant Comments: 2 Comments |

USA TODAY, the newspaper with a stuck caps lock key, reports this in regards to the next Xbox 360 shipment:
The number of Xbox 360 units in this shipment is still a mystery. A GameStop employee told me that the Xbox 360 systems ship in boxes of two. At a minimum, it seems that each store should get at least two units. Premium or core? Nobody knows. My fingers are crossed for more than two units. It is, in fact, day number 8 without my preordered Xbox 360. I have found myself at Best Buy looking at accessories and the like that I don’t intend on buying. Maybe I’ll feel more like “pimping” my Xbox 360 when it’s in my hot little hands. Pimping. Hmmm, Wikipedia, help me out.
So instead of telling children they are each unique and individual snowflakes, you can call them pimp snowflakes. I will start calling people pimp snowflakes starting today. You should too. Filed under: A 47 Danger and Rant and Xbox 360 Comments: None |

There is a lovely little article over at The Detroit News (yes yes, it’s a very unoriginal name for a newspaper, let’s get past it) titled Just what we need: Video games link Detroit, gang crime. The first thing that comes to mind is more “video games cause crime” gum flapping. A little Jack Thompson style video game bashing. That is not what the article is about. It’s a little more absurd than that. We’ll take this step by step, so I don’t loose you. This quote comes early in the article. Apparently, Detroit is a terrible city.
Eeee, yuck. I knew Detroit was a dirty stinky hell hole. I didn’t know there was so much danger there. Anyway, nothing about video games yet. Maybe later on. Oh, here’s something.
Okay, I see what that has to do with Detroit. Not that the “German arm of a Japanese company called Konami” sentence wasn’t confusing. The game features D12 from Detroit. Cultural to Detroit. Let’s read on.
Ummmmm. So the violence that you’re admitting exists in Detroit is being touted in a video game that doesn’t take place in Detroit? Even if the video game took place in a city called Detroit you couldn’t get angry, because you live in an admittedly terrible city! What the hell kind of article is this?
Phhhhht, Detroit Institute of Arts? Screw that business. I’ll pack up and leave town, thank you very much. Take your hypocritical opinion and shove it, The Detroit News. And get a better name for your newspaper. Heck, spell “news” with a “z.” Anything! Filed under: A 47 Danger and GameCube and PC and PS2 and Rant and Xbox Comments: None |

 What can I possibly say about American Chopper 2: Full Throttle for the GameCube that can’t be said with the picture above? Why don’t you tell me? Post your best caption in the comments section. It’s a Monday. Let us laugh together and share in our mirth. And one up everyone else too. Filed under: A 47 Danger and GameCube and Humor and Rant Comments: 3 Comments |
