I recently returned home from Iraq, and in-light of the fact that I now have access to a 3mbps connection, I downloaded all of my owned products from Stardock using the Impulse client, and purchased a few non-stardock products.

For one, I had to purchase a new XBOX 360 Elite, since mine stopped reading discs correctly and started making a horrible noise. The good news is, Tech Support set up a repair ticket for me and sent me the shipping labels. Now all I need to do is mail it off. 2-3 weeks is the estimated wait time from the day I send it off. Yay.

I bought the Galactic Edition of SPORE. Appearantly this game is on a much larger scale than I had anticipated. I admit, Sins is a massive game, but SPORE seriously dips into the power of imagination with the awesome levels of gameplay. The research to build this game must have been insane. This had to take years to build.

I purchased a media pass from Blockbuster, so I'm renting Fallout 3 and The Orange Box for XBOX 360. I think my wife is addicted to it.

Speaking of my wife, it's her Birthday today. Happy Birthday Stephanie!

Looking  forward to installing the stack docklet, and researching to build my own.
