Do you Afro?? Samurai that is....

Afro Samurai Resurrection played on Spike Sunday night and after watching it twice now I'd have to say I'm impressed with it. I really liked the first one I think the marriage of hip-hop and martial arts is a great idea. Resurrection really ties things together and hints at the next installment. Okazaki-san didn't have a lot of input in this from what I gather besides it being his creation originally. Comments he made on the offical site lead me to believe that. But this doesn't stray to far from his original. I'm going to really go deep into the meaning of a lot of Afro in a differant posting I just wanted to mention how much I love this follow up oh and before I forget get this soundtrack!!! I downloaded from Amazon.com for 8.99 it's a lot better than the first the RZA really out did himself putting this together. Watch this and comment, not many people have seen this blog but it would be great to get some discussion going around some common interests.

Red Rings of Death Xbox 360 shits the bed again

Well my Xbox 360 RROD on me again. This is only box #2 for me so I guess I'm lucky *rolling my eyes* I've heard a lot worse stories about people going through 3, 4 even more. So I should be getting a new improved 360 with the Jasper setup that started shipping at the end of 2008. New improved board that runs cooler with a smaller chip to maximize energy effenicy. So I'll give this one a shot and see what happens. I'm in warranty till Nov of this year then my 3yrs are up and I will not repurchase or pay to repair it. Consoles really seem to be sucking balls lately. PS3 is drowning in inventory. Xbox is selling and breaking almost the same number each month and the Wii is running away with the show because fat drunks think it's fun to play Mario Kart. Don't get me wrong Wii has some good games but the reason it's selling so much is because of universal appeal and that means gamers aren't the ones buying it. So hopefully I'll be getting my box back for Street Fighter IV because I'll be pissed if it takes long than 3 weeks.
