Life is Not Fair, Part MCLXXVIWhat 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?

CommentsYou want Paris' used box? Posted by: on November 18, 2005 06:36 PM
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 . . . Posted by: Tom on November 18, 2005 06:49 PM
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. Posted by: Tom on November 18, 2005 06:54 PM
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. 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.

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. Posted by: doc on November 18, 2005 10:18 PM
I would think Paris Hilton would have a XXXbox. Posted by: j radtke on November 18, 2005 10:30 PM
I would think Paris Hilton would have a XXXbox. 360 degrees is "around the world"... Posted by: on November 18, 2005 10:35 PM
> Now if she had a PS3, that would be something. Amen, brother! The PS3 will have integrity and conscious, and will give full value on your money. Posted by: Guy T. on November 18, 2005 10:44 PM

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. Posted by: JMFLYNNY on November 20, 2005 11:13 AM

| The Deplorable Gourmet A Horde-sourced Cookbook [All profits go to charity] Top Headlines
Some people liked Candace Owens because she was a black woman who told hard truths about BLM and black criminality. But this was always a grift. She started out as a race hustler for a grift, then hustled race the other way to grift conservatives, and now she's back to being a race-hustler for the left again. Specifically, she is now claiming that people pointing out that she is legitimately low-IQ and can't pronounce half the words her AI-generated teleprompter script points out to her is racist and just Ben Shapiro's way of saying the n-word without quite saying it. You see, you can only say that black people are smart, and if you see a dumb one that doesn't know how to pronounce simple words while she poses as an investigatory journalist, you have to pretend she's actually smart or you're a racist. Weird, that doesn't sound very conservative, let alone "#Based," to me. To prove how much she hates racism, she then says that Ben Shapiro's Jew ancestors were masters of the slave trade.

Ami Kozak: Every single Tucker Carlson episode consists of him claiming he didn't say the things he said in the last episode
Also: this is the manipulation Tucker does that i hate the most. It's so cowardly. All he does is smear people (and Jews, generally), and then claim "I have nothing against [the person or group I just smeared.]" He'll even claim "I love [x], actually." Just again and again and again. It's all a lie, of course. A year ago he smeared Jews but added how beautiful he thought Israel was, and then two weeks ago, he said Israel is ugly as dog-shit and nothing beautiful has been built there "since 1948." Just got this email from Dracula: "I love Van Helsing, actually, he's one of my personal heroes, if I'm being honest. I will claw the heart out of his belly and bathe in his blood before the children of Babylon, but I have nothing but respect for Van Helsing, actually. Love is the answer. Except for the followers of the Christ whom I am commanded to turn into my dark army of Satan. And I totally don't worship Satan, I just think we should listen to both sides. Hugs and kisses, may Van Helsing burn in the blood-red fires of hell throughout eternity, even though I consider him a close and dear friend, Vlad called Dracul."
