Your Monday dose of Cobb

Much love for the Halo 3 beta. I'm definitely getting a 360 and some speakers for that Sanyo I inherited from cajones and chebutykin, for the sole purpose of thrashing on this and Halo 2.

The seven rules of love.

Deep
Love must affect you profoundly, make you willing to make sacrifices. You cannot merely turn it on and turn it off, it must be something near the center of your life.

Which explains why, when you have to kill it or go insane, it hurts so God-damned much.

No love for the McCain-Kennedy immigration fiasco. John McCain has managed to outdo himself with this one - he has simultaneously got a lock on the Strange New Respect Award while cutting his own throat with respect to the 2008 GOP Presdential nomination. Nobody on any side of the immigration issue likes this bill, with the exception of the wonky Congressional staffers who wrote it and the handful of tone-deaf politicians who are stupid enough to think this will actually solve any of the problems presented by immigration. Lotsa luck, there, guys.

I was lovin' the beta, I was, but no love from Microsoft. I finally got the red ring o' death on the 360, my first ever console failure. Since it's out of warranty, it's gonna cost $139.90 to have Ms fix it. Bleah.

Doesn't the Geek Squad fix those?

Nope. In fact, according to some reports, they're more likely to break your warranty seals just to get rid of you, and then MS won't fix it either.

Wow. That lowers my previously none-too-high opinion of them to subterranean levels.
