I was all ready to take a stance against Microsoft. “No, I will NOT buy another one of your 360s! I already bought two, and had them each replaced twice, only to have them both die!” is what I imagined myself yelling at MS while shaking my fist. After only three days, I caved in [...]
What did you dress as for Halloween?
November 1st, 2009 · 6 Comments · Asides
I didn’t dress up for Halloween, but my Xbox Avatar did.
The ODST armor is courtesy of Halo Waypoint, which was released this weekend for those in the Preview Program. I was awarded nine Halo-related pieces of Avatar clothing for my various Halo-related achievements! I’m one of the few people who think that it is okay [...]

Zune Marketplace on 360

Last night, in the middle of a mission in Borderlands, I got booted off of LIVE for an update. I saved my progress and applied the update.
Like most people who got into the preview program, I started playing with the new updates immediately after the update applied itself some 20 minutes later. Unlike most people, who probably went to Facebook or Last.fm first, I went directly to the Zune Marketplace to see how well the transition went.

Microsoft’s Summer of Arcade has come and gone. A couple of weeks ago I got a message from LIVE letting my know that 800 points had been credited to my account. This made me look back at the 5200 points I spent to get this rebate.
When I first saw the line up, I was unsure of most of the titles. Getting 800 points back was a nice incentive to take a chance on them. Now, having played all of them, I found that my expectations and my experiences with the games did not match up.

So Much For Not Gaming This Weekend

I planned on taking it easy on the games this weekend. Instead, I beat Monkey Island Special Edition in two sittings. It’s a great game though, just as good as I remember it.
