Daily Zombie Mayhem
"When there is no more room in hell, the dead will walk on my desk."
"When there is no more room in hell, the dead will walk on my desk."
A few hours ago I got Ouendan 2 in the mail from Pink Godzilla.
I'm already finished with the game. It was J-poperrific.
^_^
I am completely enamored with using the Powerball Gyro. I have zen-like precision in both hands.
That is all.
SRSLY. It's awesome.
That is all.
Today was my first day at ReallyReallySmall Co (RRSC).
I now work in the video game industry.
Apparently I am so hardcore at Guitar Hero that I broke the X-plorer Controller Strum Switch as shown hm'yah.
\m/
That little metal clip above the spring should be attached to a plate that then makes contact with another plate to indicate a strum. There is one switch for the up strum and one switch for the down strum. Rather than spend another $60 on a new controller, I'm going to try my hand at a little hardware hackery to repair this broken controller. GuitarHeroParts.com to the rescue! And wouldn't it be my luck that they have replacement Strummer Switches.
It should mostly be a matter of unsoldering the old switches and soldering in the new switches ... mostly.
After 10 years and 4 months, today was my last day at ReallyReallyBig Co (RRBC).
During that time, I've read some boring goodbye e-mails. Not one to leave without imparting a bit of humor on my now ex co-workers, I signed off (after the boring stuff) with the following:
I will have to defer any “words of wisdom” to those of one Eric Cartman (yes ... of South Park):
“Follow your dreams. You can reach your goals. I'm living proof. Beefcake. BEEFCAKE!”
<smiley-face/>
Tomorrow the A/V in the house is being upgraded. Highlights:
I had to do it so that I could finally enjoy Dead Rising. Well, not really ... but that's a fringe benefit I guess.
My XBox 360 died. Again.
Died while I was playing "Through The Fire and The Flames". Again.
That song unleashes a curse from the depths of Hell when it's going to be beat in a big way. I don't know how I would've done this time around. My current best is around 176k.
I wish I was making this up.

UPDATE:I turned the console off and then on again and it works.
^_^
