FPS Rantings

Yay Xbox!

by Matt on January 25th, 2006

So here at my office, an Xbox 360 was magically procured and we had the fun of setting it up in one of the conference rooms for general amusement and merriment. It came with a few games. Tried a little Quake 4, but it was too dark and people couldn’t see anything. So we popped in Call of Duty 2. Much more fun. Especially in the 1080i HD setting. Very pretty. It took me a bit to get used to the control scheme of a console again. Man I hate consoles for FPS gaming, but that’s already been discussed.

I’ve found that I really like the new system setup. The wireless controllers are cool and the whole dashboard dealie with all of its options are just a huge step up from the original. There may be some issues with overheating and other things but all in all it’s a really nice platform. We managed to lock it up once but it’s only been the one time. Do I think the system was worth all the hype? Oh hell no. I think it has tremendous potential though. Currently most of the games I’ve seen on it have all been PC ports and well…what’s the point of a console if I can play the same game on the PC? I think once some serious games for the 360 come out and ones that aren’t PC ports and are better on a console (RPGs) then we’ll really see it shine. Right now though, it’s a pretty nifty toy, but personally? I’m gonna wait until the price drops and some more games worth playing on it come out.

And since everyone else has box picture thingies. I thought I’d include some of my own. Because I’m unoriginal like that.

Someone put something in my cube. No one visits me. I don’t even get e-mail. Or phone calls. Or talked to. Or loved. Or cared for or hugged or moving on.

I like boxes. Do you like boxes? You know that weird asian video they had up on Play-Girlz? I watched it like 20 times. I’m so ashamed.

OH! There’s something IN the box!! Now I begin to wonder who I’ve made angry recently. Couldn’t have been that picture of a lizard I sent to Ingrid. She can’t still be mad about that

OMGWTFBBQLOLZ!!!!

I think my boss has secret ties to the Mafia. Or a large gun.

Who just found an Xbox 360 in his office with instructions to test it all day?!!? I did!! ROCK!!

Wait wait wait! WTF do I do with these cables and day glo colored baggies??!!? And get your hands off the box you Nazi bastard!!!
