Great To Know Ahead of Time
Earlier this afternoon, I received an email from Site5 (shameless plug, my hosting company for this blog) saying that my server would be down for a period of up to four hours between 12 AM and 4 AM CST on Wednesday morning. Well, as it turns out, that happens to be 10 PM – 2 AM for me and would greatly impact my ability to make a post. In reality, the server should maybe be offline for 30 minutes max since all they’re doing is replacing the memory, but I’ll stay safe and just make a far earlier than normal post tomorrow. After all, with multiple computers and at least two internet connections through which to make a post, the last thing I’m going to let break my streak is someone else’s problem.
As if I needed more 360 games to play, I ordered four today off of Amazon. The first (and originally only planned one) was Bioshock 2 which comes out tomorrow, and I opted for Amazon as my source because of a $10 credit for a future purchase (higher than the $5 discount Steam had) and not caring about the exclusive multiplayer characters that Gamestop was offering with a preorder. The other three came from a “buy two, get one free” deal on Platinum Hits games, so I picked up Fallout 3, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, and Oblivion since I owned none but all had various amount of praise heaped on them. What can I say, I’m a sucker for sales, but then again, this shouldn’t be news to anyone by this point in my life.
