This made me laugh. I remember when the first DLC came out for Oblivion....and it was Horse Armor. For 200 points! This was some of the first DLC add-on content for a 360 game I believe, and I think MS was still testing the waters with its pricing policies. Needless to say, there was a huge uproar over paying 200 points ($2.50) for a bit of armor for your horse, and I was a part of that uproar. It has since become a running joke and the most glaring example of fuckitude by MS concerning their DLC. Nice to see Bethesda has a sense of humor about the whole horse armor thing now though.

Starting now and lasting a week, all Oblivion DLC is half price, but the horse armor will be twice it's normal price (up to 400 points).

I had been thinking about getting back to Cyrodil lately anyways, so this is perfect timing for me. I still need Vile Lair (now 75 points), Knights of the Nine (400 points), and The Shivering Isles (1200 points!). Getting Shivering Isles for only 1200 points is a steal. I couldn't justify paying $30 for it before, but I think I can swing $15.

Hey!  Let's start a Blog!

Why?

Because I'm in a German clean room bored out of my mind.

Have you seen Austin Powers?  The first one?  I'm in Dr. Evil's lair.  Seriously.  It's pretty cool.  If I could find one of those little electric vehicles I would totally go find a skinny hallway and attempt to do a complete 180 degree turn in as many steps as possible.  I may be able to post pictures later.

There are a couple things that make this Dr. Evil's lair.  First of all, it's huge, and white, with no windows.  Lot's of weird equipment laying around.  Everyone is wearing clean suits, hair nets, and those booty things over our shoes.  But the main reason is the announcer lady.  Every once in a while, a woman comes over the loud speaker, undoubtedly announcing something very important in German that I cannot understand.  She sounds like she could be the annoucer in Dr. Evil's lair.  Except I think in the movie it was a dude with a German accent.  Details, shm-etails.  

Either way, everytime I hear her, I just know she's annoucing something about penis-shaped drills about to be plummeted into earth's core.  If only I knew some German, I might be able to save the world.

Ok, enough wasting precious time blogging when I could be off looking for the fembots.  Or working.  Either is good, I guess.
