Xbox Live Gamercard and Gamertag

by 7 Comments

Since migrating my Xbox Live account from my original Xbox to a 360 “Gold” Account was a cinch, I was able to keep my old Gamertag (which I’m quite fond of) and I’m up and running on Live without a hitch.

Here’s another link to my Profile: http://live.xbox.com/member/I aint yer Pa

So as you can see, my gamertag is “I aint yer Pa”. If you’re on Live and your a Buttonmashing.com reader, feel free to drop me a friend request. I still need to convince my current Xbox buddies to get on the 360 bandwagon and talk those who have a 360 to get connected as well!

Coming attractions

In lieu of new content, I’m going to post my to-do list here, so each time I see this post I’ll be motivated to actually produce something more than three word sentences about zombies. I actually have a lot of “stubs” for posts, in draft form, that I will be finishing. They’re little snippets and ideas about things that are interesting me at the moment. I wish I had more time to work on them, but I have been busy with Real Life©, my new 360 and other blogging endeavors that require a lot of my Buttonmashing time. But I don’t want to neglect my readers, so this is a little teaser of things to come.

  • I’m almost finished tagging all my old posts and fixing the Archives Page so it actually works properly
  • I’ve got a few code and theme tweaks I’d like to add
  • Finish adding content to my snazzy Side Bar Modules (including my Gamer Card)
  • Initial impressions of the Xbox 360, Xbox Live, Xbox Live Arcade, and of course Dead Rising
  • I’ll soon be importing Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan and hopefully that will arrive by next week, so expect a post or two about that
  • A page for my gaming “Queue” will finally materialize
  • I’m working on a post about “meta-gaming” which I think is looking good
  • Finish my About Page with contact info (I enjoy getting feedback from readers), including my DS codes and Xbox Live Gamertag
  • I’ve been listening to a lot of Podcasts, so I’m working on a big post of thoughts and reviews.
  • I still haven’t posted my impressions/reviews of Meteos and Age of Kings DS

So yeah, that’s a lot of stuff. I’ve got my work cut out for me. I’ll be pounding away at this list for a few weeks but if I can pull myself away from the 360 for a bit this weekend (after the amazing OSU/Texas game Saturday night and the Cleveland Browns opener) I’ll get some of it done.

Thanks for sticking around and hopefully the new stuff will be worth the wait!

Lazy Sunday
I’m not lazy, I swear!

Xbox 360 Imminent?

by 12 Comments

I am this close (and by “this” I mean the space between two pixels that make up the “i” in the word “this”) to getting an Xbox 360. My local Micro Center is offering $100 dollar rebates to purchases of both Xbox systems (the premium and core). On top of that, they’re offering a $200 store voucher for signing up for a year of Vonage. That brings the price tag of a Premium Xbox 360 to $99 which puts it right in a place I like to call my “wheelhouse.”

Switching to Vonage has been something I’ve been investigating for a few weeks now anyway, so the stars are aligning, as they say. Mrs. buttonMasher seems to agree that this might be too good of a deal to pass up. Of course I couldn’t agree more, know what I’m saying?

So I will be at Ohio State’s opening game tomorrow afternoon and it’s very possible I’ll be heading to Micro Center shortly after their dominating victory.

It will be mine.

Oh yes, it will be mine.
