Worst parents in the world punk kid into thinking he got an Xbox 360

via: Engadget

When you were a kid did your parents ever do anything mean to you for their own amusement? Whatever it was, something tells us it wasn’t as evil as what Jonathan’s (above) family did on Christmas morning, having him unwrap an empty Xbox box with some shirts inside — while on video, mind you — and then everyone laughing at him when he got upset and cried over being hoodwinked. For the love of all that is holy in the gadget-loving world, that is so wrong. Despite the fact his family told Jonathan multiple times in the video, “C’mon, you know we can’t afford an Xbox!”, the kid’s shining example of an older brother (who uploaded the video) claims that they actually did get him the console, and that he’d eventually upload the video of the “real” unwrapping. He never did. Right.

Jonathan, you out there? Screw those people, they clearly don’t understand what it is to be a kid and to want an awesome gadget so badly you can taste it. We’ve been there our whole lives. Since, as a publication, we can’t just adopt you and raise you as our own, I will personally send you an Xbox 360 and some games — but only on the condition that you swear to you’ll never let your douchebag family play with it. Hit me up at engadget at gmail dotcom, make sure you can identify yourself so I know I’ve got the right person.

Update: We’ve been flooded with email from well-meaning geeks and even Microsoft; just about everyone wants to help us hook up Jonathan. We totally appreciate the sentiment, but we’ve got this covered. We think we’ve gotten in touch with his family (who let us know he never got an Xbox, and the whole thing really was a prank on the poor kid); once we know for sure we have the right people we’ll post again.

Diary.36 Complaint about NFSPS and some blah blah

哈,我醒了,终于醒了,不然再睡就变成“睡丑男”了。
eMule下了最新的NFS,传说中的ProStreet。EA迫于压力,NFS不再是一个非法街头赛车的代名词了(看看别人RockStar照样出GTA4)。现在是正规街头赛车了。对于这款游戏,我只能说真的很无聊。整个游戏唯一能吸引我的地方就是损伤又回来了,或者再加上一条,添加了赛道指引(对我来说没用)。不过说实话,EA在调试方面下的力气越来越大,我很怀疑有没有很大的意义,NFS不可能成为一个拟真系的RAC,那么何必呢。这些调试的细节我只能当作是eye candy了,特别是那么fancy的风洞。不过我倒是希望LFS多加入一下空气动力学的元素,不过要达到NFS那种可以调节下座力的程度估计得等到S3了。广告一下,对战RAC我推荐Live for Speed(LFS) S2,单机也有PGR4和Forza2,还有NFS9。
下面是Blah时间:
现在国内的it weblog都变得有点像update notifier了,Firefox的更新,Google的更新,仿佛自己不提就不是圈子里面的人一样了。真的很无聊,每次新版本的Firefox或者Wordpress出来的时候是最痛苦的,放眼望去Feed Reader里面有一半的更新都是这些内容。真是没有意义。
对于我这几天生活的混乱,我爸的意见是:“你像对待敌人一样对待自己啊”,瀑布汗。

逃亡注意事项

以前的一篇突发奇想的文章,突然又翻出来,竟然没有想到什么可以添加的,纪念一下。这可是在知道”越狱”之前写的哦。

  • 在你打算逃亡之后的第一件事就是关掉手机,将卡取出,电池卸下。
  • 暗示(注意是“暗示”,掌握尺度)追捕自己的人自己逃亡的方向,但搭乘反方向的火车(或水运)。飞机的话还要用假身份证,而且上飞机没事,下飞机可能就被捉了。
  • 一定要买双乘的票,并在去往途中的半路下车(船),这才是事先计划好的目的地。不要告诉我你以为要坐到终点站。
  • 努力学习当地方言。
  • 不要显富,不要露财,少上网,上网也不能上QQ,MSN,YAHOO一切IM。
  • 上网最好用自己的电脑,非Windows系统为佳,用双层以上代理,其中一个一定要在国外(最好是美国)。
  • 不要在自己经常去的BLOG或论坛或一切能留言的地方,除非你重新注册ID,并确定自己不能被别人认出来。
  • 不要买枪,等你到了买枪这一步,你还不如逃到国外去(缅甸等地比较好)。
  • 不要向别人透露自己下一步计划,除非你是暗示别人以迷惑追捕者。

未完待续……

后记:其实也不知道怎么就想琢磨这样一篇东西出来,很无聊吧。如果只是离家出走,根本就没有这么复杂,但是如果是入侵了国安局就又没有这么简单,唉,只好给那些喜欢上网的杀人犯看了。如果在美国犯了,说不准是更容易还是更难,不要以为XXPD都是电影里面那么没用,高犯罪率培养出来的是高智商的警 察。

后后记:其实现在一想,只要没到全国通缉的程度,逃到另外一个省或者另外一个国家,问题都不大了。毕竟我也没被抓过,只有一次被通话记录被监视的经历,而且当时还不知道。哪位有被追捕的经验?介绍一下吧,哈哈。
