Those at BBoW havn’t been….dickin around have we? The answer is yes, we have. Having so much free time has led to the discovery of Line Rider, and the exploitation of many games such as SSBM and Guitar Hero 2.

Recently I’ve been trying to get a Wii. I camped when it launched, and got one, only to sell it on Ebay. I make some money, but at what cost. Now it’s harder than ever to get one and I want to play it more and more. I woke at 4:30 Black Friday because I heard that stores such as Best Buy, Circuit City, and EB were getting another shipment of Wii in. After seeing (no lie) approximately 1000 people in the BB parking lot(F that, I said). I drove to EB and found a tiny line of about 10 ppl. Things were looking up. Waiting in line sucked, because I was in-between 2 parents who knew nothing about the system, what it was called, or even what it looked like. The only reason these parents were here was to ensure that their 10 year old brats got what they wanted the 25th. The front on the line was comprised of smoking hipsters(approx. 15 yrs old) who wouldn’t stop raving about the PS3 they wanted. There also was an annoying Nintendo fan who talked to Parent#1 about the system the entire time.

bratty kid

I waited from 5:15 to 7, when the store opened. I was trying to stay pessimistic about me getting a Wii because I was #13 in-line. Nevertheless it seemed they had many PS3s and Wii. People ahead of me were walking out happy; and those 50 people behind me were looking grave. I caught the salesclerk whisper something to the manager, soon to discover that the Wii was gone……… However, the 3 remaining people in-front of me continued happily because somehow they still had PS3s. Parent #1 didn’t want one, but Mr. Nintendo Boy had informed here that they sell well on Ebay. She walks up to the cashier and says, “Y’all still have those PlayStation things?” He walks back grabs the last one and hands it to her. Thanks Lady. You don’t know what their called, what a Wii looks like, or even how to navigate to Ebay and you ninja the last PS3. I admit I would have sold the PS3, but after fetching at least 500$ extra bucks I would promptly have bought a Wii for 350. In the end 6 Wiis and 6 PS3 were all they got, leaving #13 with a wasted morning. It turns out the parents behind me were waiting for a pink DS Lite…rofl.

Seriously, this is not an update.

I must say, we haven’t updated in a while, and this isn’t really even an update. This post is really a quick rundown of the new music I’ve been listening to. I must say, some of these bands I would’ve hated as of a year ago. Weird, I know. I’m on a bit of a weird quasi-metal period, so most of these bands will be some sort of harder music, whether doom metal, screamo, or metalcore. If you’re not into that you may navigate away from the page or visit another post that may suit your interest. So here it goes:

Trivium – “The Crusade”
Chasing Victory – “I Call This Abandonment”
The Sword – “Age of Winters”
Fear Before the March of Flames – “The Always Open Mouth”
Mouth of the Architect – “The Ties That Blind”
Converge – “No Heroes”

I’ve also been playing a lot of Guitar Hero II. Quality.

Is BBoW Dead?

November 6, 2006

No, it’s just school/warcraft season. We know, we know, WoW is just a huge waste of time and money, you realized it after you were farming rep for that new gear with your second level 60. Well, we here at BBoW are casual players, and we’d love if you would join us sometimes when we’re on. We play mainly on the Boulderfist realm, Alliance side, even though we’ve started Horde. Wisper us sometime, we’d like to see if anyone still reads. Look for Kikkoman, Tarantist, Valafain, or Silenter.

Anyways, just because we’re busy with that kinda stuff doesn’t mean that we’re still not listening to new music or exploring the abbyss that is youtube, we just don’t feel a need to report it every minute now. So yeah.

Music. I guess I could make some new music suggestions, even though I have a huge queue waiting for Random Album Encounter. I suggest you listen to Starlight Mints and Asobi Seksu. Okay.

Videogames. I just spent a whole paragraph on videogames. I suggest some Clubhouse Games or WoW, of course.

Webcomics. Read Achewood. All the way through.

Youtube. I was going to post that clip of that Japanese dog who could balance 30-some biscuits on his head, but the broadcast corporation in Japan had it taken down, the stiffs. Instead, enjoy some of Razor Ramon’s “Harudo Gei” skits. In this one he reminds everyone how important it is to honor your fathers on Father’s Day. Screaming and running ganguros ensue.

You can view that here.

With that, I leave you for another very long undisclosed time.
