Stick your hand in the box, Paul Atreides.
I’ve been busy finding things to keep my mind distracted from waiting impatiently for Grand Theft Auto IV’s release on Tuesday. Like what? Well, I’ve been going onto Wikipedia to look-up which historical figures are going to be beheaded on upcoming episodes of The Tudors.
It seems that my pal Hasser has also been doing things to keep himself occupied. Things such as: sending me random packages from his home base in San Francisco. Upon opening the mysterious box, I discovered (and photographed) the following contents:
1. Pootie Tang DVD - which he borrowed from me in 2002 and apparently never returned.
2. A framed photograph of the two of us taken moments before our historic cross-county road trip in 2005.
3. DVD ROM entitled, “Awesome Shit 2008″
Naturally, I’m intrigued by what’s on this disc, and I plan on popping it into my laptop in just a few minutes. I thought it wise to do this blog post first, in case Hasser jokingly sent me the AWSUM_$HIT_08 virus, effectively nuking my HP Pavillion. Until I post an update of the disc’s contents, feel free to use the comments forum below to speculate on what he could’ve sent me. [Also, I just sorta used a line from Dune as the title for this post. I’m not sure if it’s just lazy or insanely geeky. Both, I imagine.]
UPDATE: Awesome Shit 2008 contains: Several music collections, including the complete Hall and Oats discography; Several cracked software suites, and the programs to properly open and install them.
Grand Theft Auto looks pretty freaking cool! We had the Western Australian launch at the cinema I work at - GTA 4 on an 18 metre screen. Not that I had a chance to play it myself… being a good little employee I was beavering away threading projectors. Doesn’t mean I can’t look though. :-)
Don’t know a thing about GTA…but confess to lovin’ the Dune reference!
The comment I was going to make turned into a blog post of my own, but let’s just say that it’s surprising to me for another Dune reference to pop up at this time.
A Dune reference! Kinda freaky for me right now. The comment I was going to post here became my latest blog entry.
Sorry, thought the first comment got lost in the intarweb. LLR, could you remove one of them for me?
And this one, too, I guess. *sheepish grin*
You might be interested in this link. Not a Rick Roll
It is about a robot.

@ho - I like how people have to say, “Don’t worry this link isn’t a Rickroll” now before linking stuff. What has this world come to? I want on of those WALL-E robots!
@Oreo - I feel like reading Dune again (or at least watching one of the movies), but I abandon it rather quickly once I get around to it..who has that kind of time?
@Sonja - I read that the GTA version there is heavily edited. I’m only 15 minutes into the game, but judging by the content it’d be about 2 minutes into the game, were I playing down under.
I want my copy of Awesome Shit 2008!!!
