Oh XBox how you confuse me....

A few weeks ago I watched the awesomely over hyped XBox reveal and was left sitting there totally confused when the reveal was over. For the last few weeks I have discussed the new Xbox One with the hubs, my totally great cousin, and my nephews. We have all come to one conclusion...

WE DO NOT GET IT!!!!

I thought today's media brief from XBox would give me more answers, and well, of course not. I am only more confused than I was before I watched today's media briefing. So yeah, you showed me tons of new games but you still have not answered mine, a a million other people's questions. For example:

1. Will they ever make it to where I can play the games that I have already spent a lot of money on for the 360?

2. Why must I have the One connected to the internet at all times, to where every time I walk into the room the new kinect picks me up? Why, are you secretly recording me for some creepy reason?

3. Why can't I borrow a friends game or rent one from Gamefly, like I have been doing for years? Monopoly much?


While I do have other questions and concerns, if I were to voice them all I might just sound like one of those crazy "government conspiracy theory people". This so far at $499 sounds like a whole ton of mess. A mess that while be the only Xbox system that the new Halo will be launched on!! SERIOUSLY!! Come on 343 how could you allow them to do this to us?

Microsoft, I guess this week at E3 I really do not expect you to answer any of your loyal fans questions, but I am sure that you will continue to show us flashy new games and use the word "innovative" about a zillion times. Good luck with that!

Mini Me's first trip to the comic book store!

Today was an adventurous day here. While we go to the book store at least once a week and my son has been given comic books before we had never made a trip to a legitimate comic book store. Today that changed.

While watching a vlogger hangout from the Geek and Sundry channel I was listening to Amy Dallen talk about comics and decided to research if there was a store even anywhere near us. I was in luck and scored. Somehow I missed that there is a comic store only about 3 miles for me. WOAH! SAY WHAT................

Sorry, I got excited there for a moment. So, yes, I found a comic book store. Now that made me super excited. While I am not big into comic books, I am trying to be, as I was just never really introduced to them! So midgey, that's what we sometimes call the little one, walked into the store his eyes lit up. He immediately in the first 3 minutes had two comics he wanted us to buy and within another five minutes after that, we had added a pack of Pokemon cards. I was please that I got out of there for under $15 bucks and I think that overall it was a great experience. I will say that choosing to go on the afternoon that they were having the "Magic the Gathering" tournament was a maybe not a smart idea. While there was nothing wrong it was a little crowded, and I was the only girl in the whole store.

I will say that I will be going back for myself, because when I was walking out the door I caught sight of Doctor Who and Buffy and I feel that I must see what those comics are about. Yes, I know that they are about the show, but I need to see if comics are going to be my secret long lost love that I knew nothing about!

Are you a comic lover? What is your favorite comic?
