XBOX360 Launch: Taipei

Thursday, March 16th, 2006

The launch party for the XBOX360 was on tonight in downtown Taipei around the Taipei 101 building, next to the Shin Kong Mitsukoshi department store.

Just wanted to give a big thanks to Trinity for the best hitting session I’ve had all winter. I haven’t moved that well pain-free since I had rolled my ankle skating at Fatt Matt’s. Good luck with Match Day and I hope you have a good time during your travels.

If You Had One Shot…

Thursday, March 9th, 2006

Like the Eminem song, “if you had one shot, one opportunity, one moment, would you capture it or just slip it away?” 17-year-old high school senior Jason McElwain had one such opportunity and siezed the moment for all it’s worth.
Fuck Rudy, “J-Mac” just 1-Up’d the feel-good story department. Imagine: you’re the team manager for your […]
