Birthdays are great. A year ago I did a blog entry entitled "ONE OF THE COOL KIDS" about getting an XBox for my birthday.
A year later, I'm still heavily into The Box and I swore that this year, I was going to get XBox LIVE to complete my gaming experience.
Everything worked out wonderfully, too: Tony gave me a gift card for Future Shop, Joel gave me a gift card for EB Games, and then I had birthday money on top of that.
So yesterday afternoon, I went to Future Shop to pick up a game: Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow. And when I got it home, out fell:
That's right. TWELVE FREE MONTHS of Xbox Live. So then Tony drove me to EB Games where I used my gift card and bought the headset, rather than the entire Starter Kit for $89.99 (ten bucks cheaper than FutureShop, kids!)
So I'm up. I'm Live Enabled. My GamerTag is: Wolfblood317. (Diaperman, Diaper Man, AgentM, Agent M, Thunder, and even Bedwetter were all taken. Sheesh.)
And once again, I'm One of the Cool Kids. And I gotta say, we Mac Guys don't often get to be in that circle as far as games are concerned.
Thanks to one and all for making this birthday spine-tinglingly happy.
