Destructive Chaos

So, what’d everyone get? Any new cars driving around this year? No. I didn’t get a car, but you know, there is always next year. But I got the next closest thing - Need For Speed Carbon (PSP). It may not go 200km/h but it’s noodles of fun. I’m already 22% complete. It’s longer then I thought it would be. Race after race and still 0%! Of course all good gamers have their favorite chair. If you don’t have one by now, your not seriously l33t. I have one - therefor I am ubber l33t. It’s a fold out comfy thing. It has built in speakers! It’s great & feels so surround.

My biggest and (going to be) most used gift this year is… socks! Yeah the things you wear on your feet, not the proxy connection you nerds! It’s all right we all have our moments. I’m kidding. I got a new computer. It’s a refurbished HP workhorse. I needed it to play the best games ever created, F.E.A.R* and America’s Army.

The specs of this beast are pretty good compared to my old computer.

I used Windows Live Writer (BETA) to post this entry - it crashed once! Cool concept though.
