Three hours down the drain! I can’t believe I wasted three hours playing HALO. My buddy was whoopin’ my tail at it and then I was left alone with the XBox. Three hours later I look up and freaked out! This is why I don’t have a gaming console and why I don’t need one for my birthday! I had an half hour from the moment I came out of my drug-like reverie to get to work and secure a dinner. I shoved my car through its courses (enjoying the visceral sensation of shifting the manual transmission), played thumping techno (Juno Reactor and Oakenfold) and speeding. Pita Pit did not come through in a timely fashion, but Cruisin’ Coffee did.
On a related note, the Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) caught my eye a few weeks ago, not because I wanted to play games, but because they’re making Linux for it and it can be made Mac ready. So yesterday, I went looking for the House of Flying Daggers soundtrack on Amazon, and because I forgot to specify what manner of media I wanted, I saw that the movie has been released on DVD (UMD) for the PSP. How cool is that? I’m sure Steve Jobs is waiting until Apple can release a superior product in the portable video device market, but it can’t be far now!
