I’m suing Apple!

by taoski on February 3, 2006

As reported in a few places including The Register, a Louisiana man is suing Apple for making the iPod too loud and damaging his hearing.

John Kiel Patterson was unavailable to comment. Presumably because all he could hear when we rang to talk to him was the "Brain Morse Code Bleep-Trance Remix" brought on by his adverse Tinitus.

I have decided to sue Apple too.

For somehow smuggling "SugarBabes" and "Beyonce" into my iTunes and therefore into my iPod and therefore into my brain where they go round and round and round until I can't sleep, I can't work and I can't stand NO MORE!

Gits!

Pile Up City

by taoski on February 3, 2006

I managed to get in some racing last night on Project Gotham 3.

I'm still total crap - but am getting better.

I actually finished 2 races rather than getting timed out and my powerslides are getting more… er… "powerier" too. I am slowly working out how to use the handbrake button at last. I'm sure most players don't use the break at all in favour of the handbrake, as I hardly ever see any red lights as they approach a corner.

Playing on XBox Live is quite funny though, listening to the jovial banter in the lobby area which then turns to "you mutha-fucka! Piss off and practice you twat!" in a variety of languages as the cars pile up at the first corner. People seem to forget it's a game and get very, very intense about it.

I also played a few "Team Slayer" and "Rumble Armory" games on Halo2. I started off good on the RA games I played, coming 2nd or 3rd but on the TS games I was always on the losing team. Or rather, the losing team always had me on their side. The people playing on Halo2 seem to be alot friendlier and I got invited to a Party Game by someone too.

Great fun . But a shame it does'nt update my GamerCard to say i've been playing Halo2 though… never mind.
