Okay. A helpful friend with a car and some fiddling at the ridiculously inaccessible UPS shipping center later, and I has (replacement) Xbox. So, back to Arkham Asylum. One plus of that whole experience is that Microsoft support was thoughtful enough to include a 1 month Live Gold subscription card, which should nicely compensate for the time I wasn't able to use on my active subscription with my Xbox out for repairs. And I didn't even have to prompt them.

I also have my shiny new Acer Aspire One netbook, with its 10.1" screen, Atom N280 processor (the listing said N270, so I'm getting more than I paid for, yay), 160GB drive and suchlike. It's a neat little machine and testiing reveals that it is entirely capable of all the things I was looking to do with it - reading image-dense RPG sourcebook PDFs, comics, playing back movie rips and streaming video, web, e-mail, MUDing, chat (including built in webcam), word processing, etc. It can also do some basic gaming but with integrated graphics and a low-powered single core CPU, plus the rather unusual screen res of 1024x600, it's not going to get very far with that. Which is fine. Half the point is that I do my real gaming on a desktop machine rather than trying to achieve the expensive and ultimately futile goal of a gaming laptop. Whereas this sucker does all the other stuff, but it was $235, weighs 3 pounds, and can quite probably fit in the pocket of my winter coat (testing pending, but said coat pockets can take full sized hardcover books, so I expect it will work just fine). It's also rated for 6.5 hours of battery life.

(This journal entry brought to you -on- my new netbook. Whee.)

I really liked Susan, too, but if you haven't read the books you can't really understand what's going on, and that was the biggest flaw to me. Also, my white extensions didn't turn out the way I wanted them to, so it annoyed me to look at them.
