Geeks rev my engine. Vrooom… Vroom…
You saw it here folks. I like geeks, and that's why I like hubby. He's having an X-box party on Saturday, and I don't mean just a couple of guys getting together for a couple of hours to play games. No, this is a 12 hour event involving LOTS of guys, LOTS of X-boxes networked together and LOTS of AV equipment. Oh, and lots of booze for sure. There will be so much testosterone in the house that I will be leaving town for fear of growing chest hair and a beard. Here's a snippet of an email that he sent the guys today:

This is going to be great. FOUR (count ˜em: FOUR!) big screen projectors, six X-boxes, capability for three-team action, air conditioning, wireless remotes, ah, Ah, AGHH!!! (gorilla noises).

Off the AP-Wire: There was a brown-out today in the small town of [Insert our city and state here] when a massive drain on available electrical power was caused by imported gaming, projection, and stereo devices reaching a simultaneous peak during a Halo2 game of team slayer. The frag-fest drew all available power from the small community, except emergency medical support at the local State School facility. Searching for the cause of the power drain,local police accidentally raided the dwelling of the gamers after hearing cries of hey, you killed Kenny, you bastards! and stop shooting me, I'm dead already! The errant cops then stayed on to draw top honors at the next game of Capture The Flag with human-only weapons and all vehicles.

Now if you'll excuse me, I must go have a cold shower.

Oh, my lord. That sounds like heaven. I work in software, in silicon valley, but somehow I don't even know geeks geeky enough to do this (as I would like to do.)

They're gonna play Halo2?!?! Can I come over? Halo rocked and when I saw the sneak preview for Halo2 last year it looked fantastic. And capture the flag, although not quite as good as the bagman thing, is awesome.
um, ok, I'm not really a geek. honest. um, yeah.

LOL C told me last night that one of his workmates invited us over for dvds/games on Friday night.
He said he'd promise to tell his mate that I'd be there as long as I didn't have to
sit with the women and discuss babies and girl stuff. Now gimme the controller! :-D

My son runs off to "Halo Night" every Friday at his friend's house. They connect 6 X-Boxes and 4 televisions and play all night.

I like video games, but that's a little over the top for me.
