So my beloved 360 is RIP as of 45mins ago....GRRRRR! just before the week-end!!!!

On the upside it will give me an excuse to pick up the ELITE.

Also, I just called MS... they will replace it for me free of charge. However, I have to pay shipping. Once I get the replacement back, I'll sell it and use the $$ toward my anticipated Elite.

Sometimes crap happens, but what can I do? Either I go all bonkers and be bitter about it, or learn to go with it.

I hope you all enjoy your 360 this week-end......

Well, lately I've been addicted to Gears of War online multiplayer (I know, I know...it was about time...), lo and behold, the game is filled with young children.

Now it's not a hidden secret that the game got the obvious ESRB M rating. However what baffles me the most, is that after asking these kids how they got the game, most replied that their parents got it for them!?

I know some will deal the card of "maturity" and whatnot, but seriously, what kind of parent would want their kids exposed to violence (whether fictional or not) that has been, for all intend and purposes, designed for a Mature audience?

Maybe I'm old school, but still...I wonder what will be of our next generation of children: emo kids? teen angst?....I think such behaviors will become more prominent, and unfortunatly, we'll see more and more of them. 

...sorry to disapoint you all.
