A friend of mine is what modern kids might call a techie–a hardcore techie, to put it plainly. And for Chriskwaanzukkah 2004, this friend gave me a totally hacked, flagrantly pimped-out, fully loaded Xbox.
This was a not a good thing. In fact, it was a very bad thing.
You see, Richard was not only a D&D junkie in junior high and high school, but he was also a big ol’ freak for video games. And although he hasn’t been too involved with them since college, when the aforementioned Xbox came along…. Well, like any addiction, it wasn’t too hard to pick up the habit again.
Thus began my death sprial. Now, I’m going to pick up speed.
You see, for the last year, I’ve been playing this one particular RPG (I’m still not finished, folks!), and this month they’re releasing the sequel. Unfortunately, it looks good. Depressingly, maddeningly good….
(Wiping sweat from forehead. Drumming fingers on desk.)
Aw, screw it. Who am I kidding? I’m ordering a 360 today and calling in sick for the month of April.
