NEWS: Your Xbox360 has a blog. And it’s blogging about you.

This is pretty funny.  Check this out:  http://www.360Voice.com

Basically, there’s an Xbox360 Live web service that’s been created out there that allows you to register and generate an automatic blog "written by your Xbox360" based upon the things you’ve done with it.

For example. Mike Musgrove of the Washington Post writes:

While I was off on a vacation recently, the slick game console spent the week talking about me behind my back and posting snarky comments on the Web.

"I was ignored . . . all . . . freaking . . . day," it complained. 

"What . . . are you off reading a book or something?" it remarked another day. "Come play games!"

Finally, things got a little spooky. "I have a bit of a temper if I am neglected," it warned.

Frickin’ awesome.  I can’t wait to see what it is that my XBox360 has to say about my recent nightly addiction to Texas Hold’em.  Better yet, if it has access to the chip count list of my friends relative to me and my fluctuating gameplay & resulting gameranking, the blog should be very interesting.  It’ll probably go something like this:

"Boy, does my owner suck.  When I went ‘All In’ for $8,000 in chips, you’d think he’d pick up that I had an Ace high flush to his King high flush.  Guess not, jackass.  Hope you like dirt because your ranking just hit the floor."

"Jeezus.  He owns virtually every game out there made for me, and yet he’s never played even a quarter of them for more than a single night.  The only games he’s gotten any good playtime off of were Quake 4, Kameo, Far Cry: Instincts, and Call of Duty 2."

"But at least he doesn’t have a 0 dollars in his Texas Hold’em coffers like YoAzz does."

My Xbox360’s blog, in case anyone cares, is at:  http://www.360voice.com/blog.asp?tag=BlueMax
