« 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!

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.

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.

BIG NEWS UPDATE NOT FIRED

From her lawyer

"The irresponsible reports that have been published stating that Maria Bartiromo was fired or is no longer an employee of Fox are absolutely and unequivocally false," Freedman said Friday. "Make no mistake, we have the receipts and witnesses and they will come out whether through the courthouse or otherwise."

He added: "Those reporting her firing or the incredulous facts supporting that fiction have exhibited a complete and utter reckless disregard for the truth."

from anon2020
So what, she quit?
Megyn Kelly (accursed be her name) used to say all the time that Fox has a top female PR person who is a nasty pitbull and leaks nasty claims about anyone Fox is at war with, including those who have left the network. So I guess maybe she technically resigned? I don't know.
NEW: @FoxNews has obtained Lindsay Clancy defense attorney Kevin Reddington's appeal filing to the MA Supreme Court, which includes Reddington accusing the lone holdout juror of being "biased" against those with "debilitating mental illness", which he says is a protected category.

I have Open Threads for both days and I will post if big news breaks, but if it doesn't -- and it probably won't, news is slow before a holiday weekend -- I'm going to take a four day weekend.
