Dress Like Your Co-Workers and Win!

Posted: 31-10-2008 | 19:54:07 Category: Halloween 1 Comment

I don’t normally dress up for Halloween but this year I decided to give it a shot. I didnt dress up as some ghoul, ghost, or random famous person - this year I decided to dress up as one of the other programmers here at work. Granted he is not just any co-worker, he is a bit unique. I should have photos later, but here is a video clip of me in the costume, and then him as himself.

Did I pull it off? Was it close? Everyone in the office instantly knew what/who I was and it instigated tons of gut busting laughter - so mission complete. That alone would have been enough, but I ended winning the costume contest - so $50 worth of Olive Garden doesn’t hurt.

NXE Preview - Did you get in?

Posted: 30-10-2008 | 10:32:53 Category: Xbox360 4 Comments

So the emails went out last night, Did you sign up? Did you get in? Ironically I don’t think I know a single person that got in - at least not one that has let me know as of yet. Based on the post by Major Nelson, whoever got an email should be getting the update ‘later this week’, which leaves only a few more days of waiting to those lucky few.

I did in fact fill out the application to get the early preview / upgraded, but no tears shed over not getting the email saying I was selected. Its only a little over 2 weeks before we all get the upgrade, and I think i have been on record in the past that console updates don’t get me all hot and bothered like some.

What say you, and lets see those avatars for those of you that did in fact get in (when you actually get the update of course)
