So I'm a gamer, right?

Like hardcore, have been for years.

As such, I bought an Xbox 360 on launch day (waited outside in the freezing rain for 6 hours, too). But last week I decided that a plain old 360 isn't right for me. I need to do something to make it stand out from the rest. I wanted to have the Xbox that other people could only wish they had. And with that in mind, I started surfing the web for things I could do to make mine special. Now, I'd seen people cut windows in theirs, but I'm way too cool to just have a rectangular window in the side of my rig. So I wracked my brain to come up with something super-rad. Since I'm a Star Wars nerd (my dog's name is Leia and my license plate says "1mpr1al"), I decided that the Imperial symbol would look sweet as hell carved into the side of my Xbox. So after much planning and scheming to come up with the perfect design and layout, this is what I ended up with:



I'm taking it over to my buddy's house tomorrow to paint it. I'll post some more pics when all that is done.

Edit: About a week after launch, I got a plain white faceplate from a friend of mine. I turned it into this:



The rest of the 'box will match that color scheme.

You can legally carry a concealed handgun in California and you call those laws draconian? Try Canada. I don't even personally know anybody who owns a gun of any sort.

The hoops you have to jump through to get a concealed carry permit in CA ar re-goddamn-diculous. As opposed to Virginia where a flash of my military ID, $60, and 20 minutes of paperwork got me my permit.
Here in Texas, we have a law that says we can't have a pair of wirecutters on our person after dark.

Retarded.

.40S&W.

I tried out the .45 before I went with the .40, though. But with that short-ass barrel, the recoil was too much.

You post inspired me to look up shotguns. I'm currently mulling over ordering a Benelli M4. We'll see what things look like when I get my tax return...
You have good taste Sir. Benelli make a VERY fine shotgun!
Good Luck with your tax return.

I still have my WOW subscription and account. Haven't played in like 4 months, and just saw my CC get dinged for it today. Can't decide if I want to go play again, or just cancel the thing. I know WOW is probably old school to the hardcore, but thought I'd share. I just couldn't do the grrrrind anymore!
NNOOOO!!!!

For the love of all things holy, DO NOT go back. Sell of your character(s), cancel your account, uninstall it from your PC, and use Bex's shotgun to get rid of the disc.

I've personally seen that game destroy lives. Not that these people had any real lives to begin with, but that's not the point!
yeah, I know what you mean. So many people at my work were playing that they made an email alias specifically just for the group. There was one guy who was a director, so lots of responsibility at work, 3 kids, so lots of responsibility at home. No matter how late I signed in, he was there. He started to look haggard after a couple few months... Don't know if he made it, he got another job.

OK, OK, I'll go shut it down. ;)

Good man.
5 days, 7 hours, 55 min, 3 sec = Wii
3 days, 7 hours, 55 min, 3 sec = PS3


I already preordered my Wii and paid for it in full, except tax.
Going to get it at midnight... im psyched!
anyone see the South Park episode of the Nintendo Wii?? hahaha
Yep, both parts.

I'm trying really hard not to freeze myself...
I lost it at the end when the intelligent sea otter said "of course there's war, the stupid french-chinese think they have a right to Hawaii!"

OMG YES! Loved it, damn near peed my pants.
I plan on buying a PS3 and a Wii when the come out but wonder how long after they are released I'll have to wait.... At least I got the 360 to keep me busy until then.
