« UP OR DOWN AND ON THE RECORD: GOP WANTS DEMS TO VOTE ON IMMEDIATE WITHDRAWAL FROM IRAQ | Main | Harry Reid's Secret Plan! »

Life is Not Fair, Part MCLXXVI

What the hell is a no-talent assclown like Paris Hilton going to do with an XBOX 360? On the bright side, if she did try and set it up, I bet she'd electrocute herself, leaving the world without Paris Hilton and with an XBOX 360 that needs a home. Win win!

As long as I get my pre-order shipped to me on time, I'll be okay. Otherwise, Paris Hilton, I come for you!

Anyone else here in a nerd-frenzy as we approach the launch of next-gen gaming goodness?

(Fixed Roman Numeral Loose Shit. Geez, you guys are picky!)

You want Paris' used box?

Your roman numerals don't make sense, the V can't come before an X. MCLXXVI would be 1176, but MCLVXXI is gibberish. Geek my eye . . .

Well, just when you think you've seen it all in usenet and blog land somebody comes up with a 'roman numeral flame'

lol!

Posted by: BrewFan on November 18, 2005 06:51 PM

Blast, it has already been corrected.

I'm loath to spend $700 on a gaming system.

Posted by: MCPO Airdale on November 18, 2005 06:57 PM

What sucks is, my wife got me an XBox last Xmas. And I've played it exactly once. Once.

Posted by: Jeff G on November 18, 2005 07:48 PM

It may have something to do with the fact that she's...

1) Really rich.
2) Seen as something of a role-model (why? I don't have a clue.)

But then again, R. Kelly and 50 Cent fill these two criteria as well.

Posted by: Xoxotl on November 18, 2005 08:08 PM

Me and the lady DC44 are looking forward to me dropping $500 so we can play DOA4 online. That's it. One game. spin that bitches. On 76 inches of 720p.

When you see me, I will kick your ass. And I will say, this time the good guys won.

Posted by: joeindc44 on November 18, 2005 08:17 PM

I remember my dad playing pong on Intellivision (i think) about 23 yrs ago. Then I bought my husband a Atari 5200 (i think) about 16 yrs ago. We have gone through about every game system ever made since then. But X-Box 360 better come down in price before we get that one.

Runescape on the computer has obessed my boys now anyway.

Posted by: Rightwingsparkle on November 18, 2005 08:38 PM

What's R. Kelly going to do with his XBOX, pee on it? Or is that one of those special features you have to unlock after hours of clever playing?

Posted by: Lord Floppington on November 18, 2005 08:43 PM

Who cares?

Now if she had a PS3, that would be something.

Posted by: someone on November 18, 2005 09:12 PM

I got Uno and Phase 10 card sets last Christmas. We were gonna play cards througout the holiday season, but I cunt figger out where to put the batteries, much less the 1.5 gig sound card and shit. (I don't have much of a techno-vocabulary either) You nerds still respect me right?

Posted by: Sticky B on November 18, 2005 09:12 PM

You nerds still respect me right?

Sure. Now go make me a sandwich, bitch.

Posted by: BrewFan on November 18, 2005 09:25 PM

Screw the 360! To get the high level graphics you need an HDTV or LCDTV. Plus not all the games will be backwards compatible, and you need the high-end version to even get those few extra games. Still, what do you expect from Bill "Lucifer" Gates amd his minions at Microsquish?

Posted by: Don Carne on November 18, 2005 09:41 PM

DC,

I agree, if you don't have an HDTV, you won't get the full benefit of an X360. However, on BC, by the time all is said and done, not only will a ton of games be BC, but all BC games will be in high-res with anti-aliasing. Probably not a HUGE improvement, but including a visual plus with BC is a nice bonus in my book.

Of course, nothing stops you from keeping your old XBOX if you want to play your XBOX games the old fashioned way.

Posted by: Harry Callahan on November 18, 2005 09:50 PM

Thanks for the geek content, Harry. Ace has been slipping lately; too good for the nerd constituency that has brought in all this crazy blog money I guess.

I would think Paris Hilton would have a XXXbox.

360 degrees is "around the world"...

Amen, brother! The PS3 will have integrity and conscious, and will give full value on your money.

Most Underrated Gaming System At The Moment: Nintendo DS

Posted by: D-Max on November 18, 2005 11:59 PM

Next-gen for me starts with the PS3. I'll get another XBox after I've had my first one for at least five years and no sooner. I ain't paying for Bill Gate's mistakes.

Posted by: Assumed Name on November 19, 2005 02:20 AM

What is she going to do?

Sell about a zillion of this ripoff box to the target demographic, that's what...

The Demographic? Introverted losers with blogs that post about how awful it is that Paris gets something they desperately want and how they are willing to go to some lengths to take it from her.

Ooops... Did I say that or just think it?

Posted by: Sinner on November 19, 2005 10:28 AM

That's some comment, Sinner.

Posted by: Harry Callahan on November 19, 2005 01:50 PM

It's not the X360 that attracts Paris, per se,.... it's the joystick.

CJN podcast 1400 copy.jpg
Podcast: Charlie Kirk, Jimmy Kimmel, and whether a hot Civil War is on the horizon, plus some rambling about America!
Trump's advisors say the CBO has "revised" their estimate of the budgetary impact of the Big Beautiful Bill. Old score: minus $3 trillon. New score: +300 billion.
That's a big miss, huh? Even the Bureau of Lying Socialists, who claimed Biden created 2 million jobs that were purely fictitious and phantasmal, is impressed.
I haven't seen this reported anywhere else, unfortunately.
Bonkers left-wing former "disinformation czar" and Harry Potter "WizardCore" singer Nina "Stanky Janky" Jankowicz loses her defamation case against Fox News, begs for money on GoFundMe
This "disinformation expert" prove she is an expert in disinformation by spreading the disinformation that Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation.
AAG for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon threatens the University of South Carolina for announcing that any "controversial" speaker who upsets violent left-wingers will be banned
Obviously you're not allowed to ban someone because antifa demands it. The left-wing anti-speech school also refuses to specify what is "controversial." Trans extremist speakers would, we presume, not be "controversial" at all, eh?
Noted Nobel Laureate Jasmine Ratchet: "Just because someone commits a crime, that doesn't make them a criminal."
She claims that criminality is just a "mindset," and I guess that some criminals "identify" as law-abiding, just as many antifa thugs identify as woman, and it's all about what you are "in your mind."
This also means that one can have a criminal "mindset" despite having not yet committed a prosecuted crime. I think this pudgy DEI soon-to-be-ex congresswoman is that kind of criminal. She's got a thug's brain, a drug-dealer's brain, and smash-and-grab brain.
I mean -- as long as we're saying that crime is "just a state of mind."
Maori men in NZ do a haka war display for Charlie Kirk
You vicious bastards shot the wrong man. You have set the world on fire. This will be your apocalypse.
Nick Freitas responds to the Left's intentional lies that they are always the victim and the Right is always the oppressor. He refuses to play their game anymore. This is a must view. [dri]
I wonder if he was fearless. I wonder if he was scared. I wonder if he just did it anyway?

Low-T High-Calorie Potato Brian Stelter: "Matthew Dowd is no longer an MSNBC political analyst, according to a network source."
Matt Dowd, former Disney Groomer Corporation Political Director and John McCain advisor (of course), is the one who blamed Charlie Kirk's shooting on the real assassin, Charlie Kirk, claiming that Charlie's "hateful words lead to hateful actions."
Trump speaks about the "heinous assassination" of Charlie Kirk, notes the left relentlessly demonized him until they radicalized an assassin to kill him
"For years, the radical left has compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to NAZlS... this type of language is DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for the terrorism we're seeing in our country today.
And it must stop RIGHT NOW!"
Argentinian PM Javier Millei: "The left is always, at all times and places, a violent phenomenon full of hatred."
I disregard their hate. It's the violence that we object to. And we will begin objecting to it with force.
Update: Kash Patel says the person of interest has been interrogated and then released. Wrong guy, I guess.
But as the hours pass without a real suspect, and with the FBI apparently interrogating uninvolved people, I begin to fear the assassin has escaped. I mean, they don't seem to be following a breadcrumb trail, they seem genuinely baffled.
Karol Sheinin: I can confirm the person of interest questioned by the FBI is Zachariah Ahmed Qureshi.
Updated: Obviously, you know by now this was the wrong guy. I guess he just looked slightly like the grainy photos of Tyler Robinson.
Fat-F*ck Pritzker blames Trump's rhetoric for the ramp up of political violence! May he rot in hell! [CBD]
