The family Memorial Day weekend BBQ was the first time my non-gamer geek relatives got a chance to spend some quality in-door air-conditioned time with my Xbox 360. Comments ranged from my Mother's horror at the realistic blood and Burger King ads in FNR:3 to group frustration with Geometry Wars (still too intimidating for the most casual, even after several Coronas). Best line of the the day:
"What is that thing?...Oh my God it's huge!"
In reference to El Jefe, otherwise known as the the 360 power supply.

No joke man, my girlfriend says that all the time...
No seriously, she says "Does that thing...oh my god, does it have its own set of fans?!?
There's always the rumor it was originally intended to be inside the box, but heating issues kept it out. Still doesn't change the fact it's ginormous.

Right-wing politics, Sweet Baby Ray's, and a huge El Jefe. Ken might have me saying, Why can't I quit you.

jon, stop thinking so much and start enjoying things more... this isn't CNN. Lighten up dude, it's a games site.
On a side note, I hope they start importing Sweet Baby Ray's into Canada. I am hearing lots of good things about it.

As a proud, fat american I'll trade you some of my sweet baby ray's for a better supply of molson xxx. I know xxx gets imported here but I can never find it and it makes me sad.

I hope that picture isn't supposed to imply that the 360 AC adapter can warm your BBQ sauce, because if so I may have to rethink where it goes when I buy my 360. =x My room is about the size of a spacious closet.
