Yes, I am a lucky man. I may have caught a nasty cold, but I also had a chance to play some of this year’s biggest titles, weeks before they come out. For those that aren’t familiar with the X’0 events – they’re Microsoft’s annual hands-on press gatherings where they showcase the upcoming holiday line-up. Contrary to popular belief, this was not the first time an X’0 event was held in Toronto. They actually go way back to X’03, which was the first that I attended. I wrote about X’04, but missed X’05. This year, I took my buddy Andrew along who chainsaw’d me in GOW more than a few times. Anyway, on to the good stuff!

I guess that’s one of the bonuses of not coming into contact with too many humans on a day-to-day. On Wednesday I ventured out of the my office that I like to call “the cave” into the real world to rock the latest and greatest Xbox 360 titles at X’06 (the Canadian version). Somewhere between chainsawing dudes in Gears of War and trying to beat Andrew’s lap time in Forza 2, I became infected.

It’s not news that it’s been insanely hot the past few weeks. There was a period of a few days that we were actually able to open up all the windows and enjoy the cool breeze as it made it’s way through our apartment, but for the most part, we’ve had the AC on since early June.
I watch the news as I scrape my eye crust out every morning and I swear, I’ve got their local news brief down…
The heat wave continues as we reach close to 40 degrees when you factor in
