It has been a while since I last submitted anything, so I thought I'd go through a few 360 games with ya.  This is what I've been playing lately.  Latest first:

Well, it took me about 10 hours but I finally configured my home network how I wanted it.

Flashback to circa 2003...

I am living in Detroit. I just got DSL and a new Linksys router; plugged in my Linksys wireless router upstairs in the office and hard-wired my computer (call it PC1) to the Linksys router. Good.

Hmmm... Xbox is in the basement. Halo via xbconnect is pretty fun. I have an extra computer (PC2) I can use in the basement to run xbconnect, but how to connect both PC2 and my Xbox to the same LAN without running a bunch of wires?

I want to get this out first.  I want to be the one who gets credit for "discovering" the new method of humiliating an opponent in Halo 3.

You are all no doubt familiar with "teabagging", "corpse humping", etc. which is done to a defeated opponent's dead body on the field of combat in Halo 2, Call of Duty, etc.  With the addition of the shield grenade in Halo 3 (see trailer), I predict, nay boldly predict: teabagging will evolve a bit.

I can't imagine keeping myself entertained without my Xbox360 now.  I'd have to make like 9 new friends in real life to keep myself as busy as my 360 keeps me.  Call of Duty 2 on Thursday nights, Halo 2 on Fridays, Chromehounds on Wednesdays, whatever on weekends, Geometry Wars, Texas Hold 'Em with my own soundtrack, streaming music just to listen to on my home theater speakers... the list goes on.

I guess I convinced myself that since it was a lot of money, I should wait for some reason.  I had 2 Xboxes already and enjoyed Halo 2 and... well, that's about it I guess.
