All Things Chill

WHOOO HOOO. I bought a handful of new tracks for the “Rock Band” station for Saturday. Everyone likes karaoke as long as it’s masked with plastic drums and guitars, right? Hee hee.
“Are You Gonna Go My Way” Lenny Kravitz
“The Joker” Steve Miller Band
“Shining Star” Earth, Wind & Fire
“Pick Up the Pieces” Average [...]

Sorry Gary, I’m stealing your line.
The video above is an exact replica of what my xbox360 is doing right now. Apparently, my friend Joveth says that it’s most likely a GPU (graphics processing unit) issue. IT’D BE AWESOME IF IT WAS A TRIPPED OUT PONG, but it’s not. And I was going [...]

Some fresh mozza, Italian sausage and pasta for lasagna. Mushrooms for anti-pasta snack. OH AND LEFT4DEAD BY A LITTLE KNOWN VIDEO GAME COMPANY NAMED VALVE. LOL.
YAY.

If you follow my twitter / facebook feeds, it’s no secret that I signed up for Netflix. WOO HOO. It’s a service that I’ve always wanted to subscribe to, but could never justify the price. The main reason why I chose to sign up for it was because of all unabashed LOVE [...]

Left to right: Me, Jason and Jeff. AVATARS. WHEEEEEE. If you’d like to find an image of your new “NEW XBOX360 EXPERIENCE” avatar, just fill in your gamertag into the following URL:

Apparently, this was featured on XBOX360FANBOY a month ago. Where the heck was I when this news came [...]

This is one of the best holiday seasons for gamers in a LONG time. I’m not really one to buy a video game unless I KNOW there will be a very VERY long replay value, preferably in the game’s multiplayer mode. There’s a reason why I have Halo 3 sitting in my xbox. [...]

Thanks to my main man Jeff, I have a new Rock Band song by Stephen Colbert in my downloadable content box of toys! The Song Stephen and the Colberts – Charlene (I’m Right Behind You) is up in the Xbox Live Marketplace! It’s ultra 80’s and in the video (link here), Stephen is [...]

Ok, first off I BOUGHT A PAC MAN HAT. AWESOME. LOL. Liana wore it most of the day, and it actually came in handy when the temperature changed in the building from EWWW GAMER SWEAT to OMG FREEZING. I also…
…played a round of Mario Super Sluggers with Liana and had a [...]

Preorder today and receive the Halo 3 Legendary Map pack free! Code will be sent via email within a week!
Whoa. Didn’t expect this to happen. Downloadable content as a bonusbonus for pre-ordering another game from another completely unrelated company? Genius! I don’t know who’s paying for the deal (Team Ninja, Microsoft [...]

First off, HAY I DID MY TAXES TODAY. YAY.
Secondly, I bought a few things for my Rock Band set to make things more presentable. I mean, if the game is emulating *real* instruments, aren’t authentic accessories just as good, if not better than the cheap game stuff? Answer? YES. There’s [...]

It’s here. Rawk.

XNA, Xbox’s new community development architecture is actually receiving some life after months and months of PR speak yesterday’s GDC announcements. I caught up on the highlights on Xbox Insider (an Xbox360 dashboard streaming service) while I shifted in my seat a lil’ bit – Excitable indeed. Hee hee.
All I had to do [...]
