The Red Ring of Death...

Tragedy struck on the eve of 20DEC07. I got the RED RING OF DEATH! My 360 said, "unh unh no more abuse!" The worst part was that I found out my warranty expired in July! AHH! The good news is this is THE problem that Microsoft has had to deal with since launch. SO, I don't have to pay for repairs! YAY MICROSOFT! Good looking out for the little guy! I had just turn OFF my 360. I have not heard of that one yet. I was in the middle of playing "The Darkness, Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga, Assassin's Creed and Shadowrun." So no game reviews coming out of here any time soon. Not that I write all that often or that anyone really even knows my blog exists.... I do it for me people! FOR ME!

I have been doing some writing for The Zombie Survival and Defense Wiki. You guys should really check it out. My profile there is Springatron. There are a lot of people there that have their facts straight on the survival and defense issues. There is at least ten times as many that don't though...

Gift Pack

Today's Topic#1: Christmas
Subtopic(s): Money, Children & HATE

So it's that time of year folks. Yule Tide spirit and all that jazz. I am so sick of this "Get in to the holiday," attitude bullshit! You ever notice when you were a child that Christmas was the coolest time of the year? It was for me. You know why it was awesome? One word. PRESENTS. You know what that means. I was a greedy little shit. That's right. GREED. The number one driving force behind the whole "gift" horse shit. According to tradition we give gifts to one another because the Three Kings gave gifts to Jesus. It was/is his birthday after all. I think that we (as Americans) have lost perspective of what Christmas should mean. It won't be the same for many, but it also shouldn't be in the "Buy," mentality. I'm pissed. I hate myself and everyone else for embittering Christmas for me.



Today's Topic#2: Coffee
Subtopic(s): Starbucks

Now, I know I just griped my ass off about evil consumerism but, I am going to promote the java giant, Starbucks. I have to say that as a communications guru I NEED that caffeine more than most. Also I am ever so slightly an addict. The winter season is upon us and I happen to spend 98% of my work day outside, coffee is my antifreeze. So when purchasing grounds to brew my life blood I turn to Starbucks for the tastiest and boldest caffeine injection.

Today's Topic#3: Gun of the Day!
Subtopic(s): Springfield XD

Funny thing about the XD is that it is made in Croatia. Most people don't realize that it is just imported by Springfield. It has been in use by the Croatian Army since 1999. It now is widely excepted and even issued in US police departments.

Decent pistol, fun shoot, light and maneuverable. Feels the recoil a little to easily. Comes in three of the most common calibres, .45ACP, .40s&W and 9mm Parabellum. My favorite part is that it is a reliable .45ACP that has a carry capacity of thirteen rounds.

Well that's all for today folks.

Zombies in Plain English

Always on the look out for some good zombie shit.

EPIC 2015

I caught this vid as a post from one of my good pals in Germany. Totaly creepy. I had to share it though. This much is true, we are moving past the stage of a "Wired World," where every single person is "Plugged in," to the "Wireless World," where everyone is "Unplugged." The modern Westernized person wants instant gratification and constant attention. Just a glimpse of the "What might be..."
