No, no, it’s still kinda broken… Worse, I tried watching The Bourne Ultimatum on the HD-DVD player and it crapped-out halfway through the movie. There was an available update for the HD-DVD player which I didn’t dare apply because of all the wonkiness. After some cursing and wringing of the remote, I pulled the disc [...]
Well, sort of. We were still having some issues with it last night, but prod and I were able to sign in (and stay signed in) until the wee small hours playing Halo. I made it to level 30 in Team Doubles! So, thanks Major Nelson and the hard-working team(s) at Microsoft’s super-sekrit Xbox LIVE [...]
Got back from the East last night after a harrowing drive through wintery conditions to settle into my couch for some much-needed Xboxing with my homeys. Prod and I managed to play a couple games of Virtua Fighter 5 before getting unceremoniously dropped from Xbox Live. At first I figured it was local network problems [...]
This year, especially the latter half of it has been a big one for gamers. Halo 3 made its long-awaited appearance on the Xbox 360. Bioshock was a bit of a surprise hit with its grim, art deco design and creepy atmosphere. Mass Effect from BioWare is a great scifi RPG. Call of Duty 4 [...]

The new game allows [...]
Back in the ’90s, there were two games for me that represented everything a video game should be. They should be cute and utterly, unapologetically violent with a degree of frustrating difficulty. The first of these games was the now legendary “Lemmings”. Debuted on the Amiga in 1991 (ref. wikipedia), it was some time before [...]
I sure haven’t been blogging much lately. Call it busy at work. Call it two-timing with other blogs. Call it February. I just haven’t had a lot to say here. I’ve still been playing Civ and Xbox with my homeys. Still hanging out and watching videos. Still takin’ it easy in the O-town. Just not [...]
I saw mention in a couple of places that there would be a short Halo 3 documentary released on the Xbox Live Marketplace this morning. I dutifully turned on the ‘box and took a look, but didn’t see it. I’m betting it hasn’t been released for us northern viewers yet, the internets being slow and [...]
