Marrige proposals... In Video Games?

This morning, of all things...

I log onto Xbox.com to poke around the community when I come across this article.

Now... Normally this sort of thing wouldn't Surprise me.

Wait, first let's give you a summary so you don't actually have to read the article. This guy "edited" a map in Halo 3. In which he spelled out the words "Marry Me?" With an assortment of guns. Then he brought his girlfriend (who was playing on another console) over to the area in the level.




This was his fantastic idea for a proposal to his girlfriend.

Back to what I was saying.. This sort of behavior wouldn't surprise me... Via a game like World of Warcraft.... Mainly because everyone becomes a major addict of that game that plays it... (Most everyone). Men and women alike.. I've even met friends of friends who were introduced via WoW... But HALO 3?

Halo 3 doesn't even give you much opportunity to chat, discuss, or meet people on a regular basis. It's a SHOOTING game, the point is to kill each other. Not engage in marriage proposals!

I don't know.. It's not really my place to say anything I guess.. But still.. Oddddddddd..

Where did my time go?

Okay... I realize it has been almost two weeks since my last post.

Here are the major updates.

1. My band (death of downtown) is playing Nov 11th at 1982 in Gainesville. This is very exciting. It will be our First show ever. We've only managed to pull 2 actual practices for this show... So mistakes will be made.. But fun will be had!

2. Last night I received a call from Steven, my awesome guitarist/singer. He decidedly decided that we need to make a Christmas EP. He wants to re-record some songs of ours in acoustic, along with an acoustic version of a Christmas song that almost everyone will recognize! I won't tell you and ruin the surprise. So you can just beg me for a CD.

3. Currently the band is the only thing that interests me. School is here, it's going well.. Just not too exciting if you ask me! I also currently decided that I will own this guitar, THURSDAY! Bass guitar that is.




It is a Fender! Wooohoo!!!! P Bass. The mexican version is my preferred version because it carries a price tag of only $450.00 instead of the American price tag of $1000.00. From what I understand the differences aren't so large... Mainly the body is made of a few more plys of wood.. (Meaning it's a pound or two heavier). The pickups are slightly different (But I'm changing out stock pickups regardless). And the neck is a tad different (Which I'll change out when I have some money!).

Amazing that you can mod a bass guitar just as much as a car!

Anyway.. Uhh I'm out of stuff for the moment.

I'll come back later and say some more...
