Around this time for the past few years, participating comic book shops have given away free promotional comics to capitalize on the potential for new customers generated by big budget superhero films like Spiderman, and now Iron Man.

I always, always, always miss it, and I'm always, always, always pissed when I get home that Saturday and find out it was Free Comic Book Day. Except for one or two times when I knew about it, and just had other concerns or things to do.

Well not this time. Grand Theft Auto IV killed my XBox 360, or maybe it was a co-inky-dink that the inevitable (for about 33% of 360 owners) Red Rings Of Death just happened to follow an increasing number of freeze ups I experienced while playing that game. I then put in San Andreas which froze up, and upon re-starting the machine, gazed in horror, upon the three flashing red lights.

It's going back to Microsoft after talking to what sounded like a thirteen year old boy over at support. Now that I think about it, I better make damn sure it's actually going to Microsoft and not some teen-aged hacker who's somehow manage to redirect XBox calls to his house. If he had an Indian accent, I'd be less suspicious. I dunno what their child labor laws are like over there.

Anyway, the point was, I've nothing better to do* so I might as well get some free comics and maybe check out Iron Man, which I was looking forward to seeing for a while now.

*Okay, "nothing better to do", doesn't include a number of things I ought to be doing, but it's gonna be interesting to see how much more productive I become in the next 3 or 4 weeks without the 360. I still have a PS2 and a bunch of unfinished/unplayed games, but I know I won't spend as much time on them. Then again....

Free Comic Book Day

Another casualty of GTA IV/RROD

Less than 26 hours from now. I'm torn between picking up GTA IV at midnight tomorrow (@ the local GameStop) or getting it on the way to work on Tuesday morning. I'm currently leaning towards midnight. I was hoping to finish San Andreas before this game was released, but that ain't gonna happen.

I've barely touched Call Of Duty 4, or Blazing Angels 2, though I have played a li'l bit of Rock Band (w/drums). I was mostly trying to get through GTA: San Andreas (XBox version) on the 360. Got farther than I did on the PC version, in which I got stuck at the mission where I had to intercept a jet with a propeller powered plane, and kill the hit men inside. The XBox version was much easier and I caught up with the plane on all attempts. I just kept forgetting how to activate the landing gear at the end. I'm now up to the point where everything is setup for the casino heist, but I didn't do any of those James Woods airstrip missions, so I gotta do those before the story can move along.

Taxpayers are expecting some gub'mnt cheese within the next coupl'a weeks or so, and for a little while, I actually thought I might blow mine on a PS3. I'm having second thoughts, though. I don't really need it. Would be nice to have for the Blu-Ray, now that it's safe to buy movies, but there aren't any PS3 games I have to have at this point (and I have plenty on the 360 to keep me busy for a while). Their Second Life knock off, Home looks intriguing, but is just another one of Sony's promises right now. I might buy it (just because), but it looks like I won't. Maybe there'll be a price drop soon.
