I understand that a company as large as Microsoft requires a very large technical support staff.  I can understand that putting their technical support centers in India is more cost-effective for them.  I can understand that, since the centers are in India, they are more likely to use scripts and automatic emails to get over the language barrier.  I understand all of this, and  yet I am furious at their ineptitude.

When I was a yound lad, I came upon a video game called “Sid Meier’s Civilization”.*  I played the shit out of it.  I then played the shit out of Civilization II.  I then kept my shit-playing-out-of tradition alive with Civilization III.  By the time Civilization IV came around, I had less playing-the-shit-out-of-things time available, so I was only able to gently peruse the game.  Suffice it to say, Civilization and I have a history.  You can imagine how excited I was, then, to find Civilization: Revolution on the Xbox 360.

Most people know who the Super Mario Bros. are.  Even if they don’t know who Luigi is (poor guy), they know who Mario is.  New Super Mario Bros. Wii fits in to that famous legacy perfectly.

Whoops…Wrong Mario.

I know I’ve got it around here somewhere….

It has been over three months since my last post, over five months since Lindsey’s last post, and boy do we have a lot of catch-up to do!
