so i didn't get to experience xbox live yet. there was a note for me when i woke up this morning (at martin's) about how i just had to try it, but there was no mention of the associated 'passcode' that i'd need to access said service. anyway, it's just as well. it was early in the morning and all of martin's roommates were asleep, so i couldn't be jumping up and down and mother-fucking this and rat-bastarding that. also, martin's game selection is about as far from my realm as possible.

there's a mech combat game, which are fun, but notoriously hard to controll and a tactical fps, which i have no taste for whatever. so that was a problem. the controls are wacky on the xbox, what with all of the dials and spikes on the controller. it was more than a little confusing.

now i don't remember for sure, but i thought that the xbox controllers spoke usb. if that's the case, then i should be able to hook in a keyboard and mouse and hopefully the game will recognize them as valid inputs. then i can start whooping a little ass. and talking smack to fifteen year olds.

even if i get destroyed in the actual game, i'm going to give these little kids a lesson in creative swearing. their mothers are likely to take the consoles away from them. i can't wait.
