So Mato's been wanting to go to traders village in DFW for a bit now, it's just a fairly large flea market. Lately on Reddit I've been seeing a lot of "look what I found at a garage sale!" or "found this at my flea market!" so I was like ok let's go. So I grabbed some money in hopes I'd find some pre-64 bit games while I was there. The first thing I found (yes I'm aware these aren't pre-64 bit games) was an original XBox (1) they would have sold me for $40. I don't have one so I considered buying it, but I just didn't know if it would work or not and didn't want to waste my money.
I noticed I haven't blogged in a minute. Soon I will hit the 10th year of Xbox live membership. It will also be my last. Before I joined, we had computers. Counterstrike was the game of choice. Converting to XBL was nice. No hassle LAN and easy internet gaming. I just tossed my old box recently. It still played music like a champ.
Now though, live just isn't the same. It is laggy and gaming is starting to take a back seat. MMO games are not comming to the console. Worse yet, if a game does not sell well the dev won't patch it. No matter how nice a game.
I'm avoiding work. It's not a good thing to do, but this week has been more stressful than usual.
I should be happy that in a matter of hours, I will be free even if it is only for a short time. In reality all I want to do is complain. So much fail right now.
So Mato told me that she was pretty sure she met Mission 2 and 3 last night while we were playing. I looked at Waypoint this morning and it did not look like it matched up. But when we reviewed the games just now - SHE DID! Here are the games:
