http://www.invidkllr.com uh oh, I broke it. Yeah...it's broke. Mon, 06 Oct 2008 15:04:00 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Yes, I have been neglecting this blog, but not too much has happened in the fields that I usually write about.  Rock Band 2 was released and I purchased that on the release date.  It has been very fun.  The actual "game" portion of the game is a lot more ... http://www.invidkllr.com/2008/10/06/marathon-madness-2/ Well it finally happened.  My XBox360 Elite died about two weeks ago.  We first noticed a problem playing Lego Indiana Jones.  We would be about 5 to 10 minutes into playing and then the video would go crazy and the audio would give an annoying buzzing lockup sound.  The only ... http://www.invidkllr.com/2008/07/31/red-rings-of-death-plague-me/ These gas prices are getting insane.  $60 to fill up for my car is just out of control.  I feel sorry for people in California and I always have, but I feel sorry for me here in Austin, TX.  I don't think anything is going to happen to get the gas ... http://www.invidkllr.com/2008/07/03/scoot-scoot-scoot/ This was a great show.  Opening act, Ringo Deathstarr was really good.  I really enjoyed their shoe gazey and often 'good 80's music' sounds.  One song reminded me a little of Echo and the Bunnymen, which is awesome.  Terra Diablo played....then.... Swervedriver.  The performance was great and everything seemed right ... http://www.invidkllr.com/2008/06/05/swervedriver-at-emos/ Oh man.... That was bad.  I had such high hopes.  After watching that movie at the Alamo Ritz, I was speachless at how bad it was.  I thought the whole intro to the movie was fake.  The script was horrible, the acting bad, and worse of all the film treats ... http://www.invidkllr.com/2008/05/23/indiana-jones-and-the-last-piece-of-crap/ A few weeks ago my dog, Crom, decided it would be fun to chew on the Rock Band microphone cable. This did not completely break it. Rock Band would intermittently recognize the microphone but when you sang, no sound would come out. It was broken. A few days later, Crom ... http://www.invidkllr.com/2008/05/07/my-dog-ate-my-rock-band/ I caught this movie opening day last Friday at Alamo Drafthouse South and very glad I did (I love my Moonstruck pizza).  Robert Downey Jr. did a badass job of portraying Tony Stark / Iron Man.  Jeff Bridges was also really good in it and I like Gwyneth Paltrow ... http://www.invidkllr.com/2008/05/06/iron-man/ Grand Theft Auto IV is released today. This is supposedly one of the biggest and most anticipated game release in history. I haven't written anything on this yet because I have been trying to stay away from spoilers and not learn too much about it. It was ... http://www.invidkllr.com/2008/04/29/gta-iv-release-today/ Well it finally happened. Jet Li and Jackie Chan in the same movie. I seem to remember Jet Li saying he wasn't going to do any more period/kung fu films, yet Warlords came at last year and now this. It's fine by me, I love his kung ... http://www.invidkllr.com/2008/04/24/forbidden-kingdom/ Marathon training so going ok... Yeah just ok.  I've had a pulled muscle and a week of weird stomach cramps.  I started a marathon blog at http://marathon.invidkllr.com to track my progress and thoughts on the whole experience.  Drop by and throw some love there. I found it kind of comical that ... http://www.invidkllr.com/2008/04/22/invidkllr-is-still-running/
