About Me


I'm Deacon. I'm no one really. I'm just a guy from Dallas who has a show and website on the Xbox 360 community. It's called Unscripted 360. I do a normal recorded show there and a live show. You can call in live and all that stuff. It's pretty wicked.

I'm currently an Xbox MVP and founder of the 360 Laws. Read up on the 360 Laws Picture Packs etc right here. I'm pimpin' one of the pics from the Picture Pack right now on my profile. They're on the Marketplace for download.

After hanging out with the Destructoid crew at an EA event, I realized they're just about as crazy as I am so I had to have a D-Blog.

Note to everyone about Destructoid hazing...it's REAL. They make you jump in pools with your clothes on and swim in weird places. It's true.

I hope you guys enjoy whatever bit of blogging I do here. Drop me a line sometime or not. See ya on the blahg.

Look for Unscripted 360 content on Xbox Live Marketplace! http://www.unscripted360.com/2008/02/01/360-laws-picture-pack-2/

Who do I kill to lower damn GAS PRICES!!
DeaconBlade | 2:30 PM on 04.11.2008 51 comments


Ok seriously...WTF CHUCK! It's $3.30+ for the cheap stuff here in Dallas now! I wish the world would band together for a few weeks and not buy any gas to force these damn executives and their billion $ profits to eat up some of the costs of what we're being charged!

HOLY EXHAUST PIPES BATMAN!

It's to the point that you seriously have to wonder when this shiznit will end?!! $4 gallon of gas here we come. I'm thinking about buying a BMX bicycle and just peddling my way to work from now on with a backpack and a change of clothes.

So you got one of those cars that run out of gas?

Lame, just pick up random gas containers lying on the floor and you'll never run out. If that fails just get into a racing track and make a pit stop. :)

In California the cheap stuff is 3.69. The solution: club some baby seals, I don't know how it will help but I'm pretty sure it would.

this is a great blog dude!!

one thing is on schedule, EDS is here on his high horse to make a rude comment as if he is the ultimate authority on what is good or bad on destructoid.com

I do however agree with him on this, especially considering most of your blogs are pretty weak.

If you spend all your surplus income on gas, there's nothing left for video games. ;.;

Stop whining! Your gas prices are cheap compared to most countries. Also, start using your feets instead of wasting our natural resources.

Yea, I spent $50 filling up the GIT yesterday. It was very depressing. 93 octane is like $3.50 here in Northern VA.

It's over $1.25 a Liter in Quebec, so that would be about $4.73 a gallon over here you guys have it easy.

I understand Deacon. I'm in Houston and I wish it would lower. It's getting absolutely ridiculous. It dropped not long ago then it shot up again. IT KEEPS PLAYING WITH OUT EMOTIONS!

DAMN YOU GAS PRICES!

I hear doing barrel rolls significantly lowers your gas consumption.

To barrel roll, press Z, R or the accelerator twice.

Oh wow, here in California, on Monday the first gas station in the entire U.S is already $4.01.

$3.34 here. Now I don't feel quite as bad. :3

But seriously, it's the same issue that Thomas Malthus discovered when he predicted that we'd all die from food shortages caused by overpopulation. Demand increases exponentially, Supply increses arithmetically. So the only way to lower gas prices is to increase supply or decrease demand, neither of which people seem to be too keen on. So get used to the price hikes for now or ride your bike to work. *shrug*

i think we should try to do what the truckers are doing but on a larger scale. i mean EXXON's pulling in billions in profit while the gas prices keep soaring.

and already $4.01? DAYUM! i'll be in San Fran next week luckily without having to drive :)

but yeah, this is getting friggin' STOOPID with these prices.

oh and for the cool peeps who seem to "know everything"...Community Blogs aren't restricted to video games. but it's cool..Ron warned me about the guys who like to run around screaming the rules as if they created them :| Just trying to have a decent convo about real-world problems for once ya know...not trying to hurt any "rulez".

FYI,

I decided I'm just going to start putting random things in my gas tank to see if they work as alternate fuel... starting with Tapatio hot sauce because I'm pretty sure it cures every illness, brings people back from the dead, and makes any food amazing.

Oh yeah, filled up for 3.84 regular unleaded yesterday.

*Also GTA IV

Solution is really simple:
1. Invent time machine
2. Use it
3. Meet dinosaurs
4. Don´t forget to pack hormones and shit like that
5. Give hormones and shit like that to dinosaurs
6. Make sure they fuck a lot and make lot´s of babies
7. Like lot´s of them
8. Then start killing
Result: More dinosaurs, more fosil, more petrol, more gas, lower prices :D
TA DA!

You can say goodbye forever to low gas prices. The world has a finite supply of oil that only replenishes extraordinarily slowly due to decaying animals. Your only option is to either quit bitching, or wait a few dozen millions of years.

Not buying gas for a week won't affect the price of barrels of oil. China is consuming most of the oil right now since they're having this massive industrial boon and we're left to fight over the scraps.

This may come as a shock to most...but if you really can't afford an extra $10 per fill-up you should really examine why you're in such an awful financial state.

big shout to everyone with intelligent responses. i guess the kids whose parents are buying their gas for them or taking them to school fail to see how this is no joking matter.

again, i appreciate all the intelligent responses. hopefully with the new change of the guard soon something is done. it's not looking too good though.
