I am so behind the times.

So about two weeks ago I move out of the parents' house. A friend has a 2-bedroom place and wants help with the rent and utilities, so I move in with him. The room I'll have is filled to the brim with all his junk though, so I'm crashing on an air matress in the living room and have nowhere to move my computer into.

So I go out to the mall and look at consoles. I haven't owned a console for about 5 years now (last one for me was one of the first-run PlayStations). I end up picking up an Xbox along with X-Men: Legends and MechAssault for about $200. I also grab a used copy of Gladius for $17 the next day.

This thing is pretty darn neat. Too bad I probably can't turn it into a media center since it's a new model. But still, there are some real standouts for the box. I rented Advent Rising and Jade Empire, and those are definite buys in the future. And Psi-Ops seemed pretty cool (in an 'evil bastard simulator' kind of way) too.

And with the Xbox 360 supposedly being released in a few months, games seem dirt cheap. It's hard to beat $20 for new games (well, perhaps not 'new', but new to me).

I do have 'my' room cleaned out now, but even if I were to move my computer over I'd have no internet access, so I find myself not in too much of a rush. I have a twenty-inch flatscreen that has a date with Fable tonight after work.

I feel like the guy that runs around yelling 'ALL YOUR BASE' a year after the joke got old. :P
