You da man, Omega!

I wanted to give a shout out to my man, omegamaximus75.  A homey from a2m and the creative force behind the xbox 360 that was raffled off at Pax East.  Even though he didn't rig the raffle so that I would win, I still gotta give him props for what he did.  It was the shit.

WTF ----seriously?

Best Buy is wishing Muslims a happy holiday this year, but this is the same company that won't mention Merry Cristmas in its advertising even though it makes most of its money off of people buying christmas gifts? 

Immediately below is the best Buy quote regarding their xmas policy from an AP article in 2006.  And then below that is an article about the controversial ads.  My guess is they are going to lose some business near term given the amount of controversy.

Boston timmies take it to a new level

Here is a local story about an attack on an illegal immigrant in the Boston area. Most of the article is focused on this as a racist attack on an illegal immigrant. What distresses me (but somehow doesn't surprise me) is how little shock/dismay/outrage there is over the fact that these attackers were 11-14 years old. These are the timmies we deal with on games all the time. No one seems really concerned that they casually committed this crime (and may have committed a similar one).

Thank you, XBox Live?

Normally, you never hear nice things about MSFT or XBL, but I have a happy story so i thought I would share.

I think I am going to start posting some stuff that makes me shake my head and question the sanity of those running the world.  Following is one of the first examples.
