Hopefully I’ll be able to get a pink speedsuit …

We just came across an Avatar ad on the New Xbox Experience’s Spotlight section (viewable above) that informs us that every two weeks new Avatar clothing will be available, which will double the current fashion selection over the next few months. And to keep everyone informed on the new goods, all new apparel will be marked with a yellow star when it’s released. We should also mention that we are not sure if the the upcoming fashion choices will be free or paid content (please be free) as we’ve heard Microsoft express their willingness to monetize Avatars in the future. We’ll just have to wait and see.

Avatar fashion selection to double in a few months [update] – Xbox 360 Fanboy

In an attempt to foil Microsoft’s plans of a flawless NXE Netflix launch, Columbia Pictures (a studio that’s owned by Sony) has made sure that its entire Netflix movie catalog is blocked from streaming to the Xbox 360. How rude!

Her: Wait. … What about the gold you lose?
Me: You mean the gold YOU lost?
Her: Yea. the gold we lost?
Me: No…you lost.
Her: Yea, the gold we lost.
Me (sigh): Yes, the gold you lost. That’s where we have the problem. I’ll now start Fable II in debt. As in poor. As in owing money.
Her (turning to look at me for the first time since I walked in): Wow. That sucks. (she put the controller down and walks out of the room)Her: I hope you can pay off that debt before the game comes out. I am going out, see you later.

My brother needs one of these for his commute …

Maybe this will get my wife into first person shooters …

Gamerscore Blog : My Wife Found My Copy of The Orange Box

I "caught" my wife via xbox.com playing it before she left for work this morning. Maybe The Orange Box or at least Portal is one of those games that wives and girlfriends will play?

11:30:

I’m getting too old for this. Seriously. My back is killing me, my butt’s sore, but despite this, I can barely keep awake. What good is waiting till midnight if I don’t have the energy to play?

I’m getting too old for this …

10:25:

Some ‘tard just walked by on his cell phone, up and down the line, yelling to his "buddy" key plot points. 1. Everyone knows you’re being a jerk, so we don’t beleive you. 2. The guy next to me in line joked early that "blood will be spilled" tonight. He’s probably right …

Did I just call someone a ‘tard? I think the demographic I’m hanging out with tonight is rubbing off on me

9:30 PM:

OK, I just got out of the line to get in the line (I am not kidding) I’d say there’s at least a couple of hundred people here already. Just crazy. So far, so good, everyone’s in good spirits. Game Stop just handed out free water and chips, which is sincerely appreciated (see, honey, I told you I’d get fed )

I swear the kid at the front of the line is Chris Crocker (NSFW)

8:45 PM:

Arrived about a half hour ago. Just found open wifi (thank you Burger King!). Security won’t let anyone lineup until after 9, but people are beginning to queue. Better get my place

10:02 AM:

Getting ready for the line:

The blogging machine. Notice all the crap on my desktop, as I struggled last night to enable internet access via my cell phone. We’ll see how well it works tonight.
