The year wasn't 2008 when I received the console and video game that came pre-packaged with the
refurbished XBOX 360. My mother mentioned that it was on clearance and made sure to clarify it was
the only reason she purchased the console. It was blindgly obvious the console was old. But the menu
its UI and the avatars made just turning on the console a pure delight.
I got the game Madagascar II: Escape to Africa. It was a film I was familiar with.
At the time the only thing I wanted to get my hands on was the newest Batman game...Arkham Asylum.
I was so enfatuated, the Madagascar game came as an insult to my inegrity as a gamer.
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa was a mindless game filled with mini-games. And just like the movies
the penguins were the only interesting thing about it. Has anyone seen the show ? Priceless.
But, well, this is about the context not the text. I got my XBOX 360 titanium white and with a crappy
game for my birthday. Sometime after Barack Obama was sworn into office. I remember where I was when he
was elected. (Yes, I only use presidents as a reference point, your move.)
