Halo 300

For those who missed it, Spartan John-117 now has 300 Million more reasons to smile behind that shiny glass faceplate as Halo 3 sold $300M in it's first week.  I believe MS was "hoping" for $200M.  Wow.  If reports of a 4.2M initial press quantity are to be believed, that means they sold damn near every single one of 'em.

Also, weekly console sales are said to have doubled since the release, so Go Microsoft!  Apparently, holiday bundles with Forza and Marvel : UA are right around the corner.

Random Thoughts

Ok, so first of all it occurred to me this morning as I was driving by a bowling alley that what we do here at 2old2play is not really all that different. 

1. We drink booze. 

2. We play games in a social environment. 

3. Our wrists hurt like hell when we're done.

Really it's the same if you think about it.  :)

FOCUS!

Durty should appreciate this blog.

So I received a powerful object lesson on why you never "take your eye off the ball" yesterday.  Yesterday was Business Day One at my company which means it's your last chance to make sure all of your numbers are correct for month end.  It was also Legal Day One, or the first day that Bank of America officially owned LaSalle Bank.  There were plenty of meetings held to welcome us into the family and all that good stuff.

My Sweet Sunday Ride

Over the past couple years my 3 year old son has had the priviledge of riding in wife's stepfather's White 1979 T-Top Corvette. This thing is beautiful in every way.

Over the last year or so, I had made not so subtle hints to my mother in law that I wanted to ride in the Corvette. Well today I got to drive it.
