All I Want For Christmas (is to kick your ass)


In 1987, the Midnight Riders were asked to participate in a children’s charity Christmas album with their rock peers. The Riders refused. In a 1993 Guitar God Magazine article, Dusty explained: “Givin’ kids charity just makes ‘em weak, man. Teach a kid to fish, he can eat fish his whole life. Teach a kid NOT to fish, he starves to death. Where I come from that’s murder, Homes.” A few years later, the Riders grudgingly agreed to participate in a 1998 Christmas album in exchange for not having to do 30,000 hours of community service. “All I Want For Christmas is to Kick Your Ass” was written, recorded and mailed in less than one hour.

An Xbox 360 sized package from UPS turned up this morning

Last year, I wrote about how on the 16th day of Christmas, my Xbox gave to meeeeeeee -  3 reeeeeeed rings :(

;(

:'(

A sad day, and possibly of the worst timing considering:

  1. The amount of decent games that had just released.
  2. The fact I had been a good boy all year, and was expecting some gaming delights in return at Christmas.
  3. The gaming bargains that were kicking around.

Anyway, it was packed up and sent off to the European Repair Center Frankfurt, Germany. Xbox-less for Xmas. What a time to be missing out, even my 360′s own blog was taunting me.

Well January 5th, 2009. A new year,and apart from the snow, something else turned up today…

Yep its back :) Same Xbox, but with a replaced motherboard and DVD drive. Happy days. I also can’t believe how quiet it is, before it sounded like it was going to take off, I may have to free up some space and get something installed and try that out.

Now, what to play first?
