Trailer for GTA IV DLC

I've been playing a lot of GTA IV lately trying to finish the storyline and achieve 100% completion, so I'm pretty stoked that they released the trailer for the First DLC episode the other day.

For those of you that aren't GTA fans, or simply if you live under a rock, here's the trailer:


From GTA4.net:

The title of the content is going to be called "Lost and Damned". You will take on the role of Johnny Klebitz, a member of Liberty City biker gang The Lost. This is what Dan Houser had to say on the new DLC for the Xbox 360 :-

"Johnny is a very different character than Niko, with a very different background," says Dan Houser, vice president of creative development for Rockstar Games. "I can't go into too much detail on the story, because we try not to give away too much plot before the game is released. But I can say that the story will show you a different side of Liberty City."

The content is due to hit the XBL marketplace on 17th February 2009. You will naturally need the original GTA 4 and you will also need an xbox live membership (although no word on whether you just need silver membership). The pricing of this new content has not yet been released.

I can't wait until February 17th.

Global Warming My A$$

Yesterday, on what was the coldest day of the season so far, the heater in the house started acting wonky and not putting out as much heat as it should. This morning, Mrs. Bill called the gas company to have them come out and take a look at the heater to make sure we weren't going to go up in a big giant fireball, and they found that the burner had a very large amount of rust on it and in the jets, so they turned off the heater and told us to get ahold of a repair man ASAP.

Mrs. Bill called the landlord this morning and spoke to his wife about the situation, and we got a repair man out here with a quickness. "Handy Manny" cleaned out all the rust and soot out of the burner, and got things fired back up. Before the repair guy got here, it was 9º F outside and 50º F inside. Awfully hard to type with numb fingers. Right now, though, the temperature inside the house has risen to a balmy 52º F and the feeling is beginning to come back in my fingers.

Where's that global warming when you really need it?

Dry Spell

Man, I hate these. I seem to have hit yet another dry spell concerning blog posting and Incredimail letter creating.

Every few months I hit this roadblock where I just feel like I have nothing to offer to the readers of my blog and the subscribers to my Incredimail related e-mail groups.

I don't know if it's my occasional depression sneaking up on me again, or if this is just something normal that everyone goes through every couple months.

It could also be that I've used up all my energies to try to battle all my illnesses (mostly just a cold, bronchitis or a slight case of the flu) that I keep getting during the transitioning of the seasons. Hopefully that's it. I'd hate to sink into a depression again right near the holidays.

That's it from me for now, hopefully I'll have something more interesting for you to read in the coming week.

Namaste,
Mr. Bill

Video of The Day #2

I subscribe to the Guinness Book of World Records You Tube Channel, and came across (no pun intended) this recent world record attempt.

Birthday!

I always get grumpy at the end of the day of my Birthday. As I get closer and closer to the age of 40, the grumpiness begins earlier in the day.

However, I do thank all of you out there in the internets that took the time today to wish me a Happy Birthday! I really appreciate it.

We're All Sickos

Congratulations bronchitis! You've brought my entire household to a standstill.

We're all laying around coughing and wheezing. We all sound and feel like zombies.

I hate the change of seasons in Kansas. It's that special time of year when the leaves change color and all of us here at the house succumb to various degrees of various illnesses. Some of us do nothing but sleep while we're sick, and some of us can't sleep at all. Some of us can only sleep in small increments. It's like we've all turned into grumpy toddlers. We're all whiny, needy children stuck inside and getting on each others nerves.

Video of The Day

Every once in a while, I'll feature my favorite video of the day here at Mr. Bill's Musings. It could be a silly video, a weird video, a sexy video, or anything that grabs my attention.

You'll see why this one grabbed me. So here it is, Heidi Klum's Guitar Hero commercial.

Yes We Can

I was very honored to cast my vote yesterday afternoon for the office of President of the United States of America. I knew over a year ago that Barack Obama would be the 44th POTUS.

The Snuggie

Is there some vast conspiracy among blankets? Are blankets going to take over the world by not allowing people to use their hands anymore?

Enter The Snuggie (what an unfortunate name for a product). The Snuggie is a blanket with sleeves!!! I tend to think of it more like a bathrobe that you wear backwards.

If you ask me, the Snuggie makes anyone that wears it look like a member of some druidic cult getting ready to go worship at Stonehenge.

For those of you who sleep at night, you may not have been exposed to the ridiculousness that is The Snuggie. So here, for your viewing pleasure is the commercial for the Druid Robe, er I mean The Snuggie!

Been Over a Year!

Wow, it's been over a year since I posted anything over here at Mr. Bill's Musings and I figure it's about time I start blogging again.
