I’ve been playing around with the Dashboard Update and overall I’m really happy with the enhancements. It is nice to be able to chat with your friends from your computer while they are on Xbox Live, but it already seems like there are some areas they could have improved before releasing the instant messaging features.

I don’t mind when people smoke. I use to spend a few weeks each summer with my Aunt. She smoked and I have grown use to the smell. What I mind is people who blow smoke in your direction when they could easily go the other direction or who ignore No Smoking signs. I don’t […]

In case you had not noticed an update was released for Rainbow Six: Vegas this week. In it there were about a dozen bug fixes and a few major gameplay changes (full list below). It is nice that Xbox Live allows for games with bugs to get fixed, but really I’d prefer that companies test […]

Alien Hominid was released for Xbox Live Arcade last Wednesday. I finally stopped playing Crackdown long enough to check it out, but I wish I hadn’t. I’m glad to see something getting released on XBLA, and I do like the graphical style of the game. It reminds of the Metal Slug games I played in […]

The multiplayer modes support local and Xbox Live play for up to four people and Xbox Live vets can use the matchmaking system […]

Since I’m on vacation (if you can count visiting family and working remotely as a vacation) I thought I’d look around the internet for reviews on HDTVs that fit my price range and my living room. Apparently, finding good HDTV reviews is not an easy task. I like what Robert Heron puts together over at […]

I’ve been thinking of getting an HDTV. I’m hoping after I pay some bills that I will be able to get one with my tax return this year (fingers crossed). Once I actually figure out which TV I want I have to figure out how I’m going to get HD content on my TV. My […]

Right off the bat I want to state that I think Xbox Live Arcade (XBLA) is off to a pretty good start. I want to mention that at the beginning because by then end of this post you may think I don’t like Xbox Live Arcade when in reality I just have three areas of […]

After my last comparison review I must be in that type of mind sent because I’ve got another one for you today. You may have noticed my blog was down most of last week. At that time I was using RegisterFly.com as my host and domain registrar. I had been with them for a few […]
