I gave my parents Guitar Hero 3 on the Wii for Christmas. It was a popular present. My nephew has already gone through easy mode and I hear that my sister has spent several multi-hour practice sessions with it.
Here is my challenge to them:

I’ve posted up a set of pictures taken throughout last November, including Thanksgiving.
Here are a few of my favorites:
This is a hawk we saw while on a run to get peanut oil during Thanksgiving. Sources tell me that it is an immature coopers hawk.
Here is a photo of Lily and I first in line by a longshot for the Battlestar Galactica Razor screening. She was taking the picture of course.
And of course, tasty chicken.

If your store needs a 5 page long confession including tips on how to properly shop there, something is wrong. I’d rather just waltz into Best Buy and get what I want, or if it isn’t an impulse buy, get it online.
In reality though, I don’t trust other people to take care of their discs, so used copies don’t hold much interest for me. I’m certainly not willing to buy a used copy to save a meager $5 off of the new price.
Tips 21 and 22 are pretty good, but I would change them to “Don’t buy third-party peripherals ever.” I worked at an independent used game store through high school. The third-party stuff always feels cheap and breaks quickly.
This is one of the more surreal videos I have seen in awhile. The bunny seems so innocent, which makes the melting feel gruesome. Add in the extremely peaceful music and there is a lot of cognitive dissonance.
So I just got back from dropping off some of my old computer stuff at Goodwill.
It was not the experience I expected. I thought maybe I would get a thank you.
What I did not expect was to be berated after hesitating when I was told to just throw my 80 pound CRT monitor into the bin.
“They pull them all apart and just recycle them”, they said.
“But it still works fine”, I said.
“So? No one uses those old dinosaurs anymore, and I’m not going to be the one pulling that heavy thing out of the bin either.”
Next time I’ll just give my stuff away on Craigslist. Hopefully then it will actually get some more use, which I thought was the whole point of Goodwill in the first place.
