About Me
Name: Ray Lumina
Age: 23
Occupation: Co-Owner of Eddie Murphy Museum/Store
Dream Job: Co-Owner of Eddie Murphy Museum/Store

About Me: I grew up in the boring old midwest with my best friend Chase. I went to culinary school for 2 semesters, dropped out, engaged in several dumb business moves with Chase (who got his dumbass into harvard) then finally started on our dream job. Our dream job was to create an Eddie Murphy museum, because we were both huge fans of his movies but then Chase decided it would be coolr if it had a store in it, so now it's a store AND museum! It's not done yet, but we have leased a location and are working on it! You can check out our website at theMurphitorium.com.

Oh yeah, I'm also a huge gamer. I have both an Xbox and a PC computer and my fav game is Halo 2. I'm also currently playing Spore and DQ Tycoon, which has actually helped my business management skills alot! lol

I've entered 2005!

Today started off extremely boring. I went down to the shop (see last post about that) bright and early at like 6AM (I really hate waking up before the sun is even up) to finish up painting and I'm pretty sure i lost a few brain cells because we don't have any fucking windows that open and the fumes are terrible.

Chase (the co-owner and my best friend) finally showed up around noon, I was pretty pissed until he told me that he had gotten a 360 for the apartment! Finally, we have entered post 2004 gaming! I left immediatly for home and left the remainder of the painting to Chase (which may be a huge mistake, I'll find out tomorrow I guess).

The problem is that it looks like it's just a tiny Xbox or something? A friend told me it might be an Xbox Mini, as he said there was a rumor that one was coming out, but he didn't see a picture of it or anything I just described it to him over the phone. I have included a picture if anyone out there knows for sure, but it didn't come with any controllers or cords so I will have to buy those seperately probably.

((EDIT: OK OK I realize now that it is an HD-DVD drive for the 360! I'm going to see if he can return it!!!!))

Chase said he got it from ebay (with what money, I dunno cuz we're broke till the store opens), so I'm hoping it's legit.

Anyway, I'm just happy we have something to game on other than an old Xbox and old PC. Hopefully we get it up and running soon. It came with a copy of Sonic The Hedgehog and UNO, so that should keep me occupied for awhile.

BTW, I opened a twitter account/youtube account if anyone wants to friend up, they're:

Thanks to everyone who commented last time!

That's an HDDVD Player, and I really hope you're a troll. Otherwise, I'll pour out my grape juice for you.

And that might not even be what I thought it was. Either way, it's not what you wanted.

It may be hard to read on the pic, it says Xbox 360 on the top and on the disc opening?

I just googled Xbox 360 HDDVD Player and it looks like you're right.

I'm going to see if Chase can return it from where-ever he got it from because I don't think this will play games by itself, correct me if I'm wrong.

It's an Xbox 360 HD DVD player.

It won't play games... In fact I don't think it'll play HD DVDs by itself...

But I may be wrong.

At least it wasn't my money (better not be). I think he borrowed some cash from his g/f to buy it.

I'm glad my excitement turned disappointment is entertaining.

Well, hopefully in a few months I can just buy a 360 myself.

If you didn't know what a 360 looks like, you don't belong here. That's either a sign that you're not really a gamer or you're just plain pathetic.

Well you can get one for $200, with no hard drive, and a few free games.

I know what one looks like, which is why I said it looked too small. Plus I was away in school w/o internet for 2 semesters so I kinda lost touch with the newer gaming systems.

Yeah, you are such a fucking loser because you don't know what a 360 is. Comeon guys, yeah, he's not the brightest of the bunch, but cut him a break. This is the elitist attitude found in most gaming communitys that makes me want to leave. Granted, I don't think that about Destructoid, I fucking love this place and all of you fuckers.

Let's just learn him some knowledge and mold him into a true gamer.

This is hilarious. But I feel pretty bad for you. The 360's are alot more expensive though, but I hope you get one.

This is awesome. The internet needs to know about this blog.

I'm just curious...why did you come to this site, a video game blog, of all sites? I'm just wondering cause you thought that was an Xbox 360. And that's a, uh, pretty big deal.

You are fucking hilarious. First an Eddy Murphy store and now you touted an HD-DVD player as a "mini-Xbox"...

Eddie Murphy strikes me as the type who would rain hell down upon you if he knew about your store, because I sincerely doubt that it's officially sanctioned by Mr. Murphy himself.

In any case, good luck to your buddy getting that returned. Stick around, we'll learn you something about gaming in no time.

He's going to try and get his money back, he paid through PayPal so he can file a dispute. He only paid like $35 for it so he should have known.
