BBB

"BBB" is my Mom's nickname for my nephew-to-be: Beautiful Baby Boy. This weekend I flew down to San Diego with my Mom to attend my sister-in-law's baby shower. We stayed at her parents' house, which is always fun because they're such great hosts (and great people). The weather in Sand Diego was, as usual, perfect. This may be the most well-clothed baby in the history of humankind.

The only uncomfortable bit was having my Mom in the same space as my Dad and Step-mom. I think that's only the third or fourth time its happened, and while no sparks flew it wasn't exactly warm and snuggly. I've always done my best to stay neutral in the now decades-old struggle between my parents. In fact, I realized this weekend that they've been divorced just as long as they'd been married. Newsflash: divorce sucks.

The big Xbox 360 question is finally answered

Backwards compatible?

Yes. Mostly. Sort of.

You need a unit with a hard drive. The full list can be found here: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/backwardcompatibilitygameslist.htm

codrus will be happy to note that Halo and Halo 2 are on that list. Nothing else really matters, right?
