Haha, so are you now a man or a bizarre double-man...
Hadn't heard Two Dat before, so sad
Your new job sounds awesome (just because of the jeans)...ahem, hope you are liking it well enough ;)

Congrats on the new job! Sorry for the circumstances that forced you to find a new one.

We like Modern Family too. And HIMYM, which makes me think of Friends, which makes me think of the clique. Also, this answer was awesome:

19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
I don't wish I played less video games, but I probably should have.

It's amazing how many of your answers could have been mine! I think Cars was underrated too! But maybe I'm biased since I've seen it a bajillion times. Wonder what the sequel will be like? And Toy Story 3 is a top ten movie for me.
The Saints winning the Super Bowl and the hoopla before and after will go down in my personal history as some of the greatest moments in my life. Seriously it was a blast being part of it, and I'm so glad my kids got to experience it. Is that cheesy? But when your kid is named after Drew Brees it goes with the territory I guess :0 Here's to you and your family and a great 2011 for you guys!

Dark Souls (the spiritual successor to Demon's Souls) was announced yesterday, and that will be on X360 as well. But yeah, Demon Souls is worth buying a PS3 for.

(Umm... I have a spare PS3 that I kinda don't know what to do with... we may need to talk.)

A backlog of 5 games. Yeah, I have a backlog of 25 games. Apparently Susan is more than 5x more understanding of my video game addiction than Alycia is of yours.

On net neutrality, When AT&T switched from unlimited iPhone data to the tiered model, I actually switched to the tiered one voluntarily, since it saved me $15/mo. Of course, TWC would screw up the pricing and make the current $50/month the low tier I bet. Now when they start talking content limiting pricing ("Buy the sports package for an extra $10 to get access to ESPN.com!"), I'll grab my pitchfork.

Extra PS3 you say? How did that happen again? I'm not uninterested :)

Yeah, they seemed to be considering an opt-in for the tiered system, which would be fine w/ me. I may actually use less than they're considering capping it at, but I really have no idea. They weren't interested in discussing exact numbers for price or for caps. But yeah, another guy in there and I were both big against anything that would be like "Time Warner partner content downloads don't count toward your total."

So, when I bought my PS3 in June 2008, I got the Walmart 3 year extended warranty. This past October, I got the Yellow Light of Death (similar to the 360's RRoD, but much less common). I sent it in to Walmart and about 10 days later, I got it back working perfectly. About a month later, it died again. Walmart said it has to break 3 times before I get a refund, so I sent it in again. While it's gone, Walmart started a PS3 deal in their stores: buy a $300 PS3slim and get a $100 gift card. I picked one up, justifying it as I'll eventually need a new one, and this way I can play on my new one while I wait for my old one to die a third time, then when it does I'll get my original purchase price back from Walmart. I've had my old one hooked up and running a few hours a day for the past 2 months, and it's running like a champ. No issues at all. Go figure
