Happy Christmas And A Merry New Year
So I went out and bought an Xbox 360 Pro at $350 for a personal Christmas gift, though I wanted a Wii but either a)couldn't find one at the normal $250 price or b)would have been forced to pay $500 for the system plus extra controller, 3 games of my choice (of which the two I wanted weren't available), and some other accessory. The original plan was to get the $399 PS3...until I found out it has no backwards compatibility (so much for the backlog of games on my list such as Valkyrie Profile 2, Tales of the Abyss (or Legendia), and Xenosaga III). I should be much happier than before with a current-gen console, but then again, there's this thing they call "buyer's remorse" that must be affecting me.Right now, the only things I can think of looking forward to in early 2008 are Devil May Cry 4, Grand Theft Auto 4, and how long it will take before any New Year's resolutions I make are kicked to the curb and left to die in the cold.
The list of things that happened for me this year includes but is not limited to: my PS2 dying after 5 years, getting a temporary job during NBA All-Star weekend and missing a chance to see Kobe Bryant, getting a non-temporary job 3 weeks after that, having a new car after 6 months of going without one, missing out on San Diego Comic-Con 2007 and Evo 2007, laughing my ass off at the media coverage of some fool named Larry Craig and all of the other idiots who profess "family values" only to get caught up in "teh gay !!11", moving back to San Diego to go back to school, and thankfully not having to evacuate during the whole Southern California Wildfire thing.
Here's to hoping that things turn out great in 2008 - or that at least life won't absolutely suck...
