My rants about Microsoft...

Well, out of the 50 cool points Microsoft had with me... they lost 20.

The 50 they had gained, came from Vista. Great looking OS. No doubt.

But, like the dumbasses that they are, they went and did something stupid.

Kol, a skinner who works on skins for a program called WindowsBlinds, made a skin called VistaXP. Best. Vista. Skin. Ever. It was... very popular. Yes, I said was. As in, used to be, is not anymore... etc.

Microsoft.... in their oh so infinate wisdom... went and do him to take it down. They lost points for that. Normally they wouldnt have... but since he was the only one who was supposed to take it down they did. 29 other skins on deviantArt alone were left up... all Vista skins... not one of them has been taken down.

Heres a link to kol dA journal:

VistaXP and Microsoft

Microsoft needs to know that doing stuff like this could hurt their PR, badly.

Kol has asked that no one redistribute the theme, and while I respect that he followed Mircobrains wishes, I cant let people not experience his theme. If I find a way.

Xbox 360 Defects

There have been many reports of brand new Xbox 360s having a slew of different problems. Crashing, freezing, not working at all.... the biggest one I have heard so far is that discs are melting inside the system itself. If you have a 360 and experience any of these problems I encourage you to call 18004myxbox ASAP, they will send you a prepaid box to send you 360 in with to get repaired/replaced.

Happy Thanksgiving

We here would like to whis those that read a Happy Thanksgiving.

Thanks for reading, we hope you still do.

So, from all of us here at Random Bloggings, Happy Thanksgiving. Have a wonderful day.

~RS, Don, and Scott

I have just found 4 people that need to die.

Well, after getting my daily podcasts off of iTunes, I came across one site.

Smashmyipod.com

Now, I thought it would be some stupid thing. I was wrong.

These guys asked people to donate $400 so they could get an iPod. Then, after buying the thing, they proceded to destroy it, in the store. Needless to say, they got thrown out. Outside, they hit it with a hammer, and tried to piece it back together, like the bunch of idiots they are. I think they are going to go after the PSP, next.

I believe that these people should die... and go to hell. Very quickly.

XBL Upgrade

Well, Xbox Live (XBL) is down for the big 360 upgrade today.
Let the boredom commence!
I cant talk to my friends (most of which are on XBL) and I cant play my games online, this really sucks.
But, its only one day, I can live without. I make jokes about being a junkie, but I really can live without.
Tommorrow I hope to get a hold of Battlefield 2, so my Halo 2 friends will be like "WTF?" but I know I will prbably play my Halo even though I will have a shiny new XBL game.
Thats my post, now go spam microsoft and tell them this upgrade thing better not take longer than advertised, or I may have to hunt these Xbox people down and harass them.

One more thing...

Another surprise from Apple!

Today, in another secret announcment at the California Theater in San Jose, we got:

The iMac G5: www.apple.com/imac/

iTunes version 6.0: www.apple.com/itunes/

and hey, it was going to happen sooner or later:

the iPod G5: www.apple.com/ipod/ipod.html

I dont freakin believe it! Apples done it again, we get a new iMac.... the next version of iTunes, with built in video downloading. And finally the iPod Video. Theyve done the unthinkable, 5 weeks after their last release, the nano, theyve given us another iPod.

Congrats Apple, youve done it again.

~RS

Hey...

How Not To be Seen

This is a video I found on the gamefaqs message boards. It blends Monty Python and Halo:Combat Evolved and the result is quite funny....
I am also calling the first couple sections of this video "How to get sniped by Scottie"
Watch it, its quite funny
http://www.columbia.edu/%7Embm2044/WarOStates/video.WMV

heres the halo 2 version, much better quality
http://useruploads.mythica.org/cgi-bin/viewfile.cgi?f=Monty_Python_Halo_2.wmv

Frozen Chipmonk

Frozen Chipmonk is back!!!
Last night a good friend reappeared online, as if out of nothingness...
Hes been gone for a month and a half due to Halo 2 disc breakage (by his dad!).
I was so happy to see him alive and well, I have missed his funny noises as he gets killed ingame.
He also knows alot of glitches!
It figures, I do some housecleaning in the clan, and then Frozen comes back!

ATTENTION: ALL PERSONEL!!!!

All those who use the Mozilla Firefox webbrowser should update.

How to get our podcasts.

hey guys,
havent posted in a while wanted to let y'all know i'm still here ^_^. If you dont know we now have a weekly podcast going to be working on the 2nd one tomorrow probably i'm not feeling very well i've been sick for a few days so ya but the podcast will normally be on sundays. Now for those who dont know how to get a podcast you need ITunes. So thats the first thing you wanna get: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/. There's the download page for itunes download and install it. Once you got it and have it running go to the Music Store. Next check on the left side under the Inside The Music Store heading click on Podcasts. Next look once again on the left, scroll down until you find the Categories heading. Underneath that heading click on Audio Blogs. They are listed in Alphabetical Order look for Random Podcastings.

Reason/s I hate "Team Snipers"

1. 8-12 dudes running around with snipers is scary

2. There are people who just spend all day in this game type, just sniping people

3. I always seem to spawn in some assholes line of fire... sniped!

4. my no-scoping has been shitty lately

5. I cant scope much better either

6. I like being a foot soldier, just running around putting bullets into people

7. I also hate BRs (the snipers ugly cousin)

Thats about it...
Tauri Out!

Hey... heres something.

Ok, well, the 3 dummies (Don, Scott and Myself) that run this here blog, are all schemeing something.

What were gonna do is create a podcast... it should be fun and will be available over iTunes, so you can suscribe to it and listen to us whenever you want on your iPod, along with a direct link if you dont want to do the iTunes thing.

Beware though, this thing is still in the works.

So heres to a good podcast.

~RS

Well... a nice surprise from Apple, and Motorola.

Well, today was the day. Apple, in a special invite only event, unveiled 3 things:

iTunes 5.0: http://www.apple.com/itunes/

The iTunes Phone: http://www.apple.com/itunes/mobile/

and finally:

The iPod nano: http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/

The phrase '1000 songs in your pocket changed everything. Here we go again.' sparked many theories as to what Apple would be unveiling, not the least of which, was a new iPod. Not only did we get the smallest iPod yet, but we got the ever elusive iTunes Phone and a new release of the iTunes Music Player.

However, with good news, there must be bad. Apple has also stopped making and selling the iPod mini. It has since been replaced with the newest iPod, the nano, though, you can buy referbished minis, aslong as they have them.

So heres to Apple, for releasing the best looking iPod yet, and to Motorola and Cingular Wireless, for finally getting the iTunes Phone out.

~ RS

Where are my buddies??

Ah, the weekend....
I was hoping to see my two best friends online this weekend for some fun in Halo 2.
But, alas, they have deserted me. Thus, leaving me to play with strangers and weirdos.
Why have my friends forsaken me?? You'd have to ask them, as I haven't seen them online once since friday night (hell, I haven't seen InboardEcho419 online in about a week!)

Now, for clan news....
I have verified all but 2 or 3 people as meeting the one requirement to be in the clan, those other people have been notified yet again that they must register at http://forums.sgcsim.com and post at least once to be included in the clan and I will be checking again before making my final descision to boot them for non-compliance.

Also, we now have our own group at bungie.net the link is anchored to the headline of this post, please go join the group as this will be our "official" clan presence for our bungie.net online experience
http://www.bungie.net/fanclub/82253/Group/GroupHome.aspx

An, as I stated before, my friends haven't been online lately so there havent been any clan matches, so thats all for the news

giggity giggity giggity, alright!
Tauri Out!

The weekend Has Arrived!

Finally, all my friends on XBL who started school this week will be back online (this goes for you-Raven) Its been kind of slow this week, and I used the clans downtime to try and get used to the new maps (free on the 30th)...

Now maybe I can play some XBL with my friends instead of a bunch of whiny little, annoying little, quitting little, shit-talking little pussies

giggity giggity giggity, alright!

Marching Band Practice.

Im in the Marching Band at school.... correction, I was, considering Im jumping off the bandwagon tommorow. Anyway practice was from 2:15 to 4:00. Suffice to say, its the first time and the last time for awhile that Ill be there. Not for 2 months, thats when concert band starts... then Ill jump back on.

Royally tired,

~RS

Update not really but...

OMG today got an overkill on tape i finally get an overkill and guess what!? it doesnt show me the medal in the game! so its like no montage footage there it didnt say anything anyway pretty cool that i got an overkill. Here's the game results...

Shhhh... Crazy Person talking

Well, today was rather uneventful, with most of the clan being offline for some reason or another we havent done much. Ive been doing double teams with korn, and some team training with frozen (he got sick of newb hosts with swords and shotguns) and now i am just waiting fo korn to come back online so we can have a marathon frag fest. Got my first friend on my list whos a girl, she actually likes to play Halo 2!!! She makes some funny comments when she dies too, which makes the game more fun...
Well thats all for now, one last thing...

giggity giggity giggty, alright!

Tauri Out!

Well, for some news thats welcome to me.

Apple seems to be gearing up for a new release soon, in fact really soon. September 7th in fact.

iLounge News Story

According to iLounge dot com, the invitation in part reads: "1000 songs in your pocket changed everything. Here we go again."

That slogan was used when Apple released its 5 gig, 1st generation iPod in 2001. Could this be the start of Video on iPods? Well have to wait and see.

In other news, I started school today..... it was.... less than fun. But Ill make it through, Ive already done it 8 other times.... 4 more shouldnt be a problem, right???

Well, thats all for now. See you soon....

MORE Clan News

While RS has beat me to the punch, i would like to say good work to my clan mates for working together as a team to bring our level up! I was involved in all of todays clan matches (while I may not have done the bulk of the killing), and we had fun and kicked some monkey ass. Our clan is getting into a groove and it feels good to be winning...

Enough of me talking now....

Tauri Out!

Clan Musings

Well, I have to go with Korn on this... our clan is off to a really slow start, it would be helpful if we didnt get put up against people who are level 26 and higher, lol. I can take care of myself (usually) and I know kornkaos and InboardEcho419 can take the heat (and FrozenChipmonk has yet to join in on a match), but we are a level 1 clan, we shouldnt have to deal with this gross overmatching.

For more ranting about XBL go check out my blog, its a hoot

But our clan should find its strength, and when it does, watch out, because we will own your monkey ass!

Tauri Out!

Quick Post.

hey guy's me again,

No, but really thats all you have to do. Then send a Friend Rquest to InboardEcho419, or Darth Tauri and then well send you the clan invite.

Ever vigilently,

RS
