It burns!

I think I might need glasses soon. I've been playing my xbox 360 non stop on my HDTV through HDMI ports and the graphics are insane, but at the same time it hurts my eyes after extended play. I guess there not that use to the high resolution and horizontal and vertical frame rates. Go figure. Suffice to say that the first week of owning it I would come to work with bloodshot eyes, from bleaching till 5 am playing call of duty or assassin's creed. What's really addictive is the online play, being able to connect online and play a total stranger or friend on a game you really like. fifa is pretty cool online but those bloody bastards keep disconnecting right before they lose. COWARDS!


Anyhow, I've been using eye drops a lot lately. Yesterday I said screw it and returned to the old 720p resolution and it doesn't hurt my eyes one bit, but .... its not smooth and sexy like 1080i/p [cries].

So people if you see me online on messenger and my personal message has x box 360 followed by the name of a game its because I'm online playing games, so don't feel bad if I don't respond to you... typing with a game controller is just too hectic to bother. Sometimes I'll respond in really bad broken up creole to save time with typing on a remote control. Maybe I'll get a wireless keyboard who knows.


Till then... Game Over.

Plagued

I've not been blogging as much as I use to, but I don't feel too guilty because by the looks of things... neither have you guys been. To simply put it, I've been busy with my life. A lot has changed for me and my family in just this short time. For one my dad is now a retired man! So no more flashy government rides etc.

The biggest change so far has been the start of his new company. A couple months before he was retiring he had planned on starting his own company, and by god it's happening. This past month we have been building his new offices, I think they spent like 40k in just 3 weeks building that place and its not half done yet.

I've become a pedestrian! I've graciously loan my pickup to my father since he use to always drive his government issued Hilux with free diesel, there was no need for him to actually own a car.. till now. He would have used my brother's Volkswagen, but the pickup is more... uh... manly... and it has space to haul lumber and cement the kinda thing he needs while he's building his office. Yeah leave it to my dad to get involved in construction. He always likes to not just supervise but do stuff himself too. I could always remember the summers helping him make our own repairs on the house, he is pretty good at it too, no doubt he got an A in woodwork back in primary school.

I've been doing a website for his business as well, and also designing the logo that will represent it. Thanks to Pancho bringing me back a wacom it might not be so difficult as before.

so why plagued? I've been plagued with stress, worrying and work. I just like last week bought an xbox 360 elite at amazon and it should reach this Sunday. Now after reading so many comment and reviews I've noticed it has a very high rate of crapping out on me. So I'm worried and I hope that almost a month's pay don't go down the toilet. I'm stress with the extra work from my work and doing work for my dad. I can't wait till his new car gets shipped so I can get mine back!

Let's just hope this xbox reaches intact, no scratches no bruises, working fine and with no friggin red rings of death!

It should be one busy weekend too:

Games I ordered along with it:
Fifa '08
Marvel Ultimate Alliance
Forza 2
Call of Duty 4
Mass Effect
Assassin's Creed
Grand Theft Auto 4

You're welcome to come over so I can whoop ur ass on any of these games, heck if you want I'll whip out the nintendo wii and whip you on that too!

Till next time...
