A Manly Score

If you look to your right, you will notice my majestic Xbox Live Gamerscore. I've had my 360 since before launch. (I was a Hex168 contest winner.) I've played more than my fair share of games, but apparently, I don't play in a manner that's conducive to earning Gamerpoints. I tried to be a points whore at first, but playing a game strictly to boost perceived gaming prowess quickly became ridiculous to me. So there it is. Beat it if you can. :-P

I've also decided to let my XBL subscription lapse and move back to Silver. I rarely play anybody online so it's not a big loss at this point. But when Super Street Fighter II HD Remix comes out...

Finally, I just want to mention that I'm pretty excited about Mario Kart Wii. I'm still spending all of my time with Brawl, so the 1-2 punch Kart is going to add will ensure that my Wii never gets cold. I'm especially interested in the Mario Kart Wii Channel. Looks like we're finally going to get a true lobby and other XBL-ish features for Kart. It would be nice if they went back and made one of these channels for Brawl as well. The bad thing is that I have to leave on a business trip the day Kart comes out. Grrrr. I guess another week of waiting won't hurt.

Until next time, take 'er easy and if she's easy take it twice.
