Blog 3 Already

Damn, I've been typing up blogs like crazy this month. Anyways, wanted to give updates on my xbox 360.

After work, I took my xbox 360 into Best Buy to get it replaced. After 25 minutes (yeah, I know..I even worked there), they had to test and of course it wouldn't freeze like before, but I told him to try one last thing, I told him try Boom Boom Rocket. Immediately after selecting it from the disk, it said "Unplayable Disc Error." Was enough to get my system switched out.

So, I take it home and hook it up. Everything seems to be going very well, *knock on wood*. It even played Sega Superstars Tennis without issue. It's not a great game, but entertaining to say the least. I see myself putting some decent time into it for a quick fun game.

I've yet to try the Arcade Compilation disc, because when I was on(which wasn't much yesterday), I was playing Call of Duty online. I think I'm rank 34 now. It's been fun, but after playing it online for as long as I have, I do have one issue with it, that I never mentioned in my video review. The maps suck! I hate the majority of the maps in CoD:WaW opposed to CoD4. Plus, the maps seem a bit bigger and it gets to be a pain in the ass at times to find people. It's extremely helpful to have the recon plane now, so you can see where everyone is on the damn map.

Anyways, I'm pretty excited for Christmas. I've got to pick up a gift for my cousin today(Wanted) and I am buying Step Brothers for myself. I love that movie, so FUNNY! I want Wanted so badly and Chronicles of Naria: Prince Caspian, but I asked my step sister for Wanted and Chronicles of Naria from my sister. I will be buying The Dark Knight on blu-ray on 12/9 for my wife and I.

I'm pretty excited to give Brittany her gifts. We put a limit on what we could spend on each other since we got a house. I'm not good at containing myself on buying gifts for her, so our limit was $150 each. I've easily spent $250 and wanted to get another smaller gift or two. I know you probably don't care, but I need stuff to talk about so here is what I got her so far:

-$150 worth of clothing from Victoria Secret's
-Scene It: Box Office Smash(xbox 360) - she loved the Lights, Camera, Action I bought her last year, so I decided to go with the second one also
-Oil Scent Warmer from Bath and Body works
-2 things of scented oil (her favorite scents-that only come out on Christmas-vanilla bean noel and candy apple)
-Wall Flower replacements (same scents as above)

Last year I think I spent $500 on her, so it sucks getting a lot less for her, but she made clear a limit and I've already gone over $100, haha. I'm pretty sure she went over the limit for me too. I gave her a list of the top 5 games I wanted this year. She has 4 items wrapped and they all look like video games (one looks like World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King).

I'm not as big on receiving gifts as I used to be. I mean it's always fun to get games/movies, ect for Christmas, because I can't spend money on those things anymore, but I enjoy far more giving than I do receiving. I'd list what I got for other people, but I know family reads my blog and I don't want them seeing what I got. I'm pretty confident my wife doesn't look at my blog though.

We've already received our christmas presents from my Dad and Step-Mom. We got a couch/love seat and recliner for our new home. I LOVE the set. They are comfy and look nice, I'm sure you'll see them in my video for our new house. I've wanted a recliner of my own since day 1 of moving out and I finally got it! THANK YOU GOD!

Anyways, I've typed enough for you all to read. Talk to you all later!
