Last night, I was playing Halo 2 (as usual) on my Xbox 360. After hour two, my friends and I were playing Slayer on Backwash and my box froze. My controller was still vibrating from someone hitting me, and the last frame was still on the screen. The controller continued to vibrate until I power cycled the Xbox.

This is the second time this has happened to me, and I’ve checked…both the unit and the power supply were cool. If I remember correctly, the last time it happened, it was on Backwash too. That seems to be the only map that we (Xbox 360′ers) have problems on. Regular gameplay is very choppy when playing in this map. Maybe some software update will fix it?

On Saturday, I made a deal with the Infiniti of Raleigh dealership and traded off my truck for the G35. I have been wanting a G35 for quite some time, and they happened to have exactly what I wanted. This one is pretty much fully loaded..all it’s missing is the navigation system. I hate losing my truck, because it was nice to be able to haul stuff around if needed, but this will be much more fun to drive, and definitely more affordable on gas.
