Jealousy = XBox 360 Video Reviews
I’d like to applaud Ingrid for her humanitarian (boxitarian?) efforts. Far too many boxes are lost every day because people lack the compassion and the generosity to take in those in need. She’s done a great thing here, saving not only the box itself, but the little blue treasure nestled in its peanutty womb. The poor unsuspecting thing probably had no idea what was going on and was petrified, but I’m sure under Ingrid’s caring supervision, it will once again be the controller it was before the incident.
Now who is going to take some pity on me? ME I SAY??! Look at me people! I’m sitting here, starving, bleary-eyed and sobbing, I haven’t showered in hours and even my cat is avoiding eye contact. I crawl around websites like a crack addict, looking for my next fix of XBox 360 goodness and being eaten away by jealousy. I haven’t even brushed my hair. I’ve reverted to pre-school days by wearing satin pajamas with little cartoon stars on them. Why is life so cruel?
Erin crying shameless over her lack of an XBox 360
All I wanted was a little 360 to call my own; to cradle in my arms like a long lost child and then use to launch my plans for world domination. That, apparently, was too much to ask, as my mailbox remains empty…empty as the heart that beats in my cold, dead chest. Oh woe, oh woe is me.
Vladimir and the guys at Joystiq got theirs. Cresente and crew at Kotaku got theirs. Yet still, I am without and am forced to watch their gleeful gaming joy like some kind of withdrawal-addled voyeur. Just a glimpse! Just one! That sleek and sexy packaging…oh for just a look, just a moment alone with the wireless controller, to fondle its curves and creases and know them like they were my very own. Alaaaaaasss! Such pleasures are not mine today, so I busy myself watching hands-on game reviews and miming that I, Queen of the Console, am in fact in control of what is happening on the screen.
Check out me “playing” (please don’t burst my fantasy bubble…it’s my last remaining thread to sanity) the XBox 360 on these videos:

Now pardon me while I go and try to peek in Vladimir’s window…

Hey! I can’t help that I actually have to do work while at work on the occasion. And if you won’t get me one Erin, maybe Ingrid will, she can make up for missing my birthday this year. Though she did get me a Christmas card last year.

All natural baby. No cheap special effects here.

[…] While my computer rebooted, I grew angrier and angrier with Kotaku. How dare they say that we’re a fake girl-gamer site. Why, what other girl gamers cry over not having an Xbox 360 and post pictures of themselves in star-studded pajamas as a result of their grief? What other girl gamer site features mystery boxes that result in jealousy-driven affairs with game controllers? So then, why, HOW, could Kotaku treat us so unkindly? Do they hate us? Is it our hair?
