Burnout: Austin/Pittsburgh

He he he.

I’ve been on a bit of a video game bender recently which, if you’re me, is a lot of fun. And yesterday Matt and I got together on Burnout Paradise and tooled around there. I learned a couple of things:

1) Matt doesn’t have a headset, which means they can hear me, but I can’t hear them. I assume it’s like playing a video game with an announcer coming over your speakers. “This is DJ Noel, for Crash FM”.

2) I am so much better than Matt is at Road Rage events.

3) Matt is way better than me at Showtime Events.

4) I need to get Matt a Bluetooth headset for his birthday or something.

In other news, it looks like I’ve finally been locked into travel to England. The dates are March 8th to March 15. It will be mostly work, so little time for me to look around and sightsee, but It’ll be another stamp on my passport and I’ll get to work on my hideous English accent. It sounds like we’ll actually be staying at a proper tavern, too. Just outside of where we’ll be working. Pub downstairs and everything. I’m going to Harrowgate, I believe. Which is two hours outside of Manchester, by car. If anyone wants any, I dunno, horrible food or something, just let me know and I’ll keep an eye out for it.

Return of micro-news!
Jessie’s sister will be visiting us for Jessie’s next game and bringing along her sons. Our first guests! After that, we get Sandlin, Kelsey, and Jessie’s Grandma during the same week. And finally, in October, the parents come visit. How cool! Got our brakes replaced on the car, so the Protégé is definitely up to spec. Whenever we stand up on the landing above the entry and call down for the kitties, Nagano starts meowing. Also, Sandlin's last entry marks this Blog's 200th post! Hooray!

Cheers, old, bean!

That was a head set? We could hear Jessie so well we though it was a mic you left on a table or something. I must agree, it would be more fun if we could share smack-talk. Does any old blue-tooth head set work (like might double for a cell phone)?

As far as I know, yes. I got mine as a pack-in in a bundle with Warhawk at stores. I've never bothered to try it out with my cell, but as I understand it, any ol' bluetooth headset would work.
