Episodes of a Dad - Part 3 - Pikachu

I knew it was a matter of time until this day would come. I just did not think it would come this soon. I consider myself a decent gamer, 45,000+ gamerscore, but on this day my 6 year old son absolutely obliterated me on Super Smash Bros. Brawl on the Wii. It is not just today either. The domination...

Call of Duty 6

Activision has announced Call of Duty 6 will drop in 2009 and your favorite and mine Infinity Ward will be at the helm! This is interesting news as Call of Duty: World at War (aka Call of Duty 5) has yet to release and does not have a ship date. No word yet on what timeframe COD6 will take place in.

RROD Update

I posted earlier about the Red Ring of Death . Less than 24 hours after the issues started I have a brand new Xbox Elite back up and running. I had purchased the additional 2 year warranty from Best Buy when I originally bought the console. This has turned out to be a very good investment. I went to...

Red Ring of Death x 3

Well once again I am a victim of the dreaded Red Ring of Death . For those of you unfamiliar with the term it basically means that my Xbox 360 has fried.... again. This time my beloved Elite system froze in the middle of a Soul Calibur 4 session. Yoda was dominating for what it's worth... Then I restarted...

Apple Customer Service

I have been very satisfied with both generations of iPhones to date. But when there is a problem I have been even more impressed with Apples customer service. A few days ago I dropped my new 3G on the hard floor at work. I have dropped my iPhones (Previous and current) numerous times and the worst that...

Episodes of a Dad - Part 2 - Yellow Jackets

Today was our last day in Dallas before our vacation to Destin, Florida. You know, a day to get everything packed and ready for the fun in the sun to come. But today was one of those days that you could make a really funny movie out of or just break down in angst and defeat. When you have kids, you know...

Xbox Live Fall Update - E3

Today at E3 Microsoft previewed the upcoming fall Xbox Live update. And what changes there will be. The interface is obviously moving towards more of a Mac/Vista look and feel. Gamercards are still around as will your gamerscore, but my first question is what will happen to all of those 1000's of Microsoft...

270

Why 270? What does it mean? Why is it the title of this post? This number is very meaningful to me. Well at least today it is. You see 270 represents the number of days between the last shutout in our office hockey competitions. The last time it happened, October 19th, 2007 it was a very shocking event...

iPhone 3G Adventures

I finally got my iPhone 3G around noon today but not without some adventure and waiting in the process. I would love to hear if anyone else has a story about waiting for their new iPhone today. First I stopped at a local mall to see if I could "pop" in and pick up the 3G. Needless to say the line there...

iPhone 3G

Are you going to get the iPhone 3G? If so why? Are you a current iPhone user or have you held out waiting for a faster network? I am very interested in the study of Consumer Behavior. Especially around brands that transcend their categories and become engrained in our culture. Apple's products definitely...
