The evil Rogers has been partially banished! Huzzah! Time to dance and sing.  Next is cable? Unfortunately in my area if you want TV it’s either Bell, Rogers or Bittorrent.  So… Pick your poision! At least in the internet realm, there are resellers that are able to give you a decent deal on services.  I swear, Canada is in a telecom darkage.  Not that I would ever buy an iphone, but if you want to buy one here the service plans are significantly more expensive than anywhere else, and guess who has the exclusive distribution rights? Rogers of course!  Such a great company.

If you’re looking for internet in the GTA, look at TekSavvy.  It’s a really stupid name, but they’re honestly a great company.  Each time I had to setup DSL I had some issues (I love cheap crappy modems) and I talked to the same tech each time I called back.  He actually realized that I knew what an internet was and didn’t treat me like some moron who could only be responded to with a script.  It was great.  These were actual Canadian guys, living only a couple hours away from me, speaking plain English and being helpful!  I was waiting until DSL finally got rolled out in my area, which took a surprisingly long amount of time considering I live in a 40-year old established neighbourhood.  I was excitied to get off of throttling, but then Bell started throttling their partners as well.  Then they released stats showing that they have almost no network congestion at all.  Sigh…

Anyways, I have rekindled my love of smashing cars at ridiculous speeds with questionable physics in the form of Burnout for the Xbox360.  The games really aren’t tough to make, flashy graphics and crazy speed. It’s the closest thing to an F-Zero game this generation of consoles.  Perhaps a new one announced at E3? It would be cool, though not as awesome as MEGAMAN 9!!!  Almost had a heart attack when that popped up, perhaps I’ll test my arting abilities on some fan art, such as they are.
