My 360 Has a BLOG

So, yeah, kind of stupid, but I wish that I had done it before. I really lose track of time when playing games, so I set up a blog for my 360 so I can track my time. I figured I’d share it so that you can all see how much time I waste playing games no one seems to like (such as Shadowrun).

Bad movie, BAD!

God Transformers was atrocious:

Q. I noticed that several times you referred to the good Transformers as “Transformers” and not as Autobots. In the movie, Optimus Prime tells Sam that he can call his group the Autobots for short. Both the Decepticons and the Autobots are Transformers and of the same race, but over time, as Optimus describes it, a struggle for power ensued and peace was shattered. I just wanted to clear this up for you.

A. Thanks for clearing that up. What is Autobots short for? Automobile Robots? Robots made of autos? That leads to this question: When Megatron came from space and landed at the North Pole, circa 1900, what was he made from, since he wasn’t from Earth and automobiles were presumably unavailable on his home planet?
A-ha. I have the answer right here. “Automobiles were reverse-engineered from Transformer technology,” according to film sage Peter Debruge, who pays close attention to these things. “That All Spark contains the potential to turn all modern devices back into killer robots (such as the Mountain Dew vending machine we see in the final showdown).” Yes, of course.
