YAY!

Well, at about 1pm CST on friday my 360 was brought to my door by the friendly FedEX guy, and I am so happy to have it back. I believe the repair center replaced all my guts and kept my shell, so as to give me the same serial as before, they could have been lazier for all I care, as long as it works!! BTW, it does, and I have to go back to it now.

Issue!

So, I wake up and check my shipping status on my Xbox 360 this morning, and what should I see? Well, its out for delivery! Except, its out for delivery in Mississippi!
WTF?!?!
Why in the hell is my 360 being delivered in Mississippi when I live in Minnesota?
I have emailed support with hopes for a quick response to my question, and if they dont have the answers I seek then I will be forced to once again call 18004MYXBOX to find the answers I need.
They best be prepared to overnight a 360 to Minnesota when I call too, cause this is some bullshit, I was all happy that my 360 was coming back to me so quickly only to have my heart sink when I saw this tracking BS at the FedEX website.
Don not be happy right now.

**UPDATE**
After and hour on the phone with xbox support, it seems that the service center reported the wrong tracking number to me. So, they will be working on getting the proper tracking number reported to me ASAP, which by their definition means tommorrow, but if its on schedule to be delivered tommorrow then it wont matter.
Halo 3! Im coming!

Regarding our newer website:

It will be designed from the ground up and C# ASP.NET using VS2005.
It's UI will be designed from scrap aswell.
More info to come...

Repair Update

So, on December 14th my 360 arrived at its destination. Also, according to FedEX a label was printed for it to be shipped back to me, and on the 17th it was dropped at the local FedEX office to begin its voyage back to me.
So, now its scheduled here on the 21st, which means from call to return will be 2 weeks repair turnaround, which is pretty sweet.

All in all its been an alright experience, but what has yet to be seen is if my 360 now works, and how long it will work for... only time will tell.

Death In The Family

(Dec. 3rd 2007)
So, as I posted earlier, my Xbox 360 decided that it didnt want to read any dvds anymore... this means games and movies went into the 360 and it thought I had put in nothing at all. Well, needless to say I was pissed, and promptly called 18004MYXBOX.

After dealing with Max (the A.I. answering system utilized by Xbox support to annoy people) I got sent through to a very nice woman in India (probably, idk, I just get annoyed when I have to ask someone to repeat themselves several times throughout a conversation). She helped me troubleshoot the problem, which I had already done to some extent. First I tried Halo 3, then I tried The Simpsons game, then I tried a couple movies, nothing worked. She asked me to remove my hard drive and try again, so I did, then she asked me if my time was set properly.... ok, I guess if my 360 thinks its 1 minute sooner than it actually is it might decide not to play games, but my time is set by microsoft everytime I log into Xbox Live it gets the time directly from them. After I tended to her utter stupidity she decided that a repair would be nessecary, so we confirmed all my info and a box would be shipped to me in 3-5 days.

(Dec. 10th 2007)
5 business days later my box arrived, I promptly unhooked everything and made it look all pretty and made sure I did everything I was told, you get to bag your 360 up then put some foam pieces on the ends and then put it into a box with a sheet of paper where you have to check off some boxes to tell them what the problem may be. For extra fun I taped a piece of paper to the 360 itself with the reference number, my name and address, and the general problem that was happening. This isnt nessecary, but I have read that it can speed up the process, or at least make it harder for them to lose your 360 (its happened, I have read about it!).

(Dec. 11th 2007)
So I went to the UPS store and dropped my 360 off, making sure to get a shipping receipt as instructed to (this gives you a copy of the tracking number too, so you can watch your 360 in its journey into the heart of darkness). I then went home and continued to stare at the walls, as theres nothing I can do at this point.

(Dec. 13 2007)
So for a couple days now I have been obsessively watching my 360 travel, and getting quite pissed off at the results. Apparently it takesabout 14 hours to fly from Minneapolis, Minnesota to Kansas City, Kansas.

Then from there it took another 9 hours to reach Mesquite, Texas (an 8 hour drive, and this an air ship package).

Now, instead of directly going to McAllen, Texas they decided to send it to Houston.... ok, WTF?!?

At his point it has been sitting in Houston for about 12 hours... now ind you, its about a 6 hour DRIVE to McAllen at this point and its still an air package, so a 1 hour flight, maybe an hour and a half?

So, to this point so far, Microsoft has been awesome, no complaints...

UPS at this point is kind of pissing me off, as they are so inefficient that a trained monkey would probably schedule their time better.

Also, dont start telling me "its the holidays" because thats bull at this point, they were efficient in the delivery of my box to me but now they are going belly up, how hard is it to fly a package to Texas? seriously???
They could have gotten it there yesterday, GREAT! They could have gotten it there today, YAY?!? But at this point it wont get there till tommorrow, thats dangerous ground UPS, if they dont decide they cant get to it and wait til monday to fix it and send it back (or replace it, that would be better) I run the risk of not getting my shit back til the 26th, or perhaps the 27th... now for some thats not long to wait, but I like to play everyday, especially lately.

Also, if Microsoft decides that 3-4 weeks means 3-4 WEEKS than I will be really pissed, as I wont have it back toil after the new year.

Please, Microsoft, find it in your heart to give me a Christmas present a few days early and ship it back to A.S.A.P!!!

Ill update when theres more news on this.

Jump Start The Blog!!!

I am here to breath new life into this blog, and hopefully Richard and Scotty help. This blog could be something great, and now that we are in a clan with aspirations of going pro we definitely hve something to talk about.

In recent news, my 360 died :( the disc drive said "I dont want to play your games no more" so I had to send it in for repairs, with the hope that it will be returned to me before Christmas. I also lost my job at Holywood video cause this douchemonkey Matt Munroe decided he didnt like me and 3 of my fellow employees and targeted us for termination. I currently have 3 job prospects that could turn into 3 jobs (YIKES) depending on which one offers me the most money coupled with the most hours, that will be my deciding factor.

Thats enough for now, I will post another blog documenting my repair process for those who have yet to go through the horrendous ordeal of your 360 saying "FU".

Halo 3 Release Date

Here we go, the home stretch. 4 months til we can finish the fight.

September 25th, 2007. Mark it down, and make ready with your pre-orders. (I'll be headed to my local Game Crazy to pre-order my Legendary Edition, and git rid of my Collectors Edition pre-order.)

BTW... Don... Scott... Halo 3... tommorow, or else!


See ya!

~ Richard

So... Whats Up?

So, its been a while since I have posted, and I think its about time. I have been rocking Crackdown, Im just hung up on a few of the harder achievements and I am really looking forward to the day when I will be able to download my Halo 3 beta, cause I am almost played out on Crackdown and need a reason to enjoy anything Halo related nowadays. I have also been renting some other games, trying them out then returning them quite promptly, I want to figure out games that I will really enjoy (and can get most of the achievements for) Once I get a list narrowed down, I will rent the games long term, or if I enjoy them enough I will probably buy them. So, Castlevania: SOTN is coming to the arcade this week, and I have been waiting for this release for a while now, and will be promptly buying this title as soon as I possibly can. Its the only Casatlevania game I ever really enjoyed in the past and look forward to going through it again on my 360. Other than that, not much going on, korns got to get his membership renewed to gold status and richard has his 360 in for repairs, but hopefully they will come play with me soon, cause I am lonely.... Peace Out, DT

Hey Guys!

Hey!
Its been a while i've been really busy, with work and school and other things that i haven't really been able to post much on the blog, so whats new? i've been playing a lot of Crackdown. :) I've been playing around with Windows Vista which i got a while ago, but you know i havent posted in forever. Soooo other then that been working down some beta's and some games are really turning up good, Halo 3 Beta is almost fully polished so expect to see it some time soon -_-. Other then that i thought i would mention i will be spending a lot of time working for a little while, because i am accumulation 6 gran to go to florida with my brother at around christmas time this year so just so ya know i'll be working 30 hour weeks + school, so i wont be on to much. Anyways thats about all for me, take care guys!

Blog has been updated.

Yep, just upgraded the blog to the newer blogger. Scott and Don if you are wondering why you cant post... its because I've done this... all you need to do is upgrade your accounts to the newer blogger and you'll be set.


That is all.

~ The Doctor

Fantastic!

I've regenerated,... yep, it's Richard here. Don got me back here. (God job, Don!) Everybody thank him....

Anyway, long story short... I sorta forgot about y'all. Anyway, with the help of the TARDIS, and Don... (thanks) I'm back. Writing to you from Windows Vista Ultimate Edition.

That's really all for now, until I call to get my box repaired..... then you'll hear a lot more from me.

Crackdown, and Media Sharing

So, lately I have been enjoying the Crackdown demo, at least 2 times a day in fact. This game is awesome, I suggest trying the demo then immediately going to your nearest retailer and preordering it.


This is just a small sampling of the carnage you can inflict, I personally enjoy getting alot of upgrades and jumping around the city like spiderman, but the demo has a time limit, which I find annoying.



I have also Setup my 360 to share media with my comp, which means I can listen to all my music from my computer while playing my games, which is really cool, you can share videos too (only in WMV format) but I find it quite cool. Its fairly easy to setup, and I suggest doing it if you have your 360 networked with your computer, that is all for now, mopre some other time.... Peace Out, DT

Now The Proud Owner Of An Xbox 360

Ok, so I finally got a job, which meant it was time for me to buy my 360, I got it home installed it in minutes and I was ready to go! I migrated my gamertag and the first person to hit me with a message was korn, which was awesome, cause he was the one always saying "When are you getting a 360?" to which I would always stae "When I get a job".



I have been enjoying alot of new games, my job is at a Hollywood video, So I get free game rentals all the time. I own Chromehounds, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Star Trek Legacy, Lord of the Rings: BFME2 and now I just picked up Hitman: Blood Money.



I have a few arcade titles, and I must say, I finally understand the draw of playing UNO on your xbox. I also got my comp fixed, and this lovely new blogging extension for FF will allow me to post more often, so look for that. I dont know why Richard and Scott dont work on this anymore, they must have better things to do, but I will update as often as possible.

Let me explain why. Well yesterday i was planning on going out to a college after my high school day was over (or so i thought). I thought my day would be over at around 12:30, BUT i only got out at 1:55 SO, i decided well screw it i'll go and visit my bud some other time. WELL later on that day i saw that a shooting had taken place in that very college, someone barged in with an AK-47, and started to shoot everywhere. I thanked god i changed my mind, and i prayed for the best to all of my p.c. friends, and thankfully they've all pulled through. Tragedy, its almost scary to go to school nowadays, i love all you guys who pulled through it! and all those who are in the hospital you have my prayers! and the girl who died, i'm heartbroken and sorry and hope you have a great afterlife. Now that thats been said, lets move on, WELL school's goin alright, but as for news, i have a bunch of footage that will be going up soon! PGR3!Far Cry Instincts Predator, saints row!,Lego star wars 2!,and more! that i cant think of right now!

hey everyone,
Here's an update on whats goin on. Well today we played a bit of GRAW, Richard and I, while i tried to take a video of Chapter 2 content which we may retry tomorrow, and my Xbox 360 froze then we pretty much socialized in Private Chat while i played on my Xbox (Not 360). I am actually uploading new vids as i'm typing, so its like i'm multi-tasking only, i'm not really. Uhh more personal news, WELL, today I went out to go and try out some contacts finally, BUT i only got 4 and a half hours of sleep last night so i was pretty much dead, i couldnt get my eyes open, so i'm going to try again on monday. Also i have plenty of time on the box, and site, now that my girlfriend is now off to Wildwood, New Jersey, wish her a great try! Next item on the list.... Well i haven't really done much for the LOTR BFME2 review but rest assured i will right one. Uhh new content on Marketplace, well Thursday was a pretty big day, with the Oblivion DLC (The Vile Lair) and the LOTR BFME2 Demo. As well yesterday(Friday) there was an Uno auto-update which fixed some matchmaking issues. Hmmm..... i think thats about it, then again i'm to tired to think. Anyways look out for vids tomorrow and the whole video site structure fixed to recognize the Reviews section.

I'M BACK!

hey everyone,
yay i'm back from my VERY hecktic week, just to find myself in a few days of hell, well i get back from a hell of a week camping, and since i'm cool, i'll explain a bit of it, well first night i got there by train to find my mum, bro and one of my mum's friend's daughter waiting for me, my train overshot the station(LOL) and ya well they had eatin stirfry and the beansprouts had a syringe inside, so they had to go to the hospital. OK next day had a thunder shower where a bolt landed very close to us and made a VERY LOUD CRACKING NOISE, and then if that wasnt enough the next night, we had a HELL of a thunderstorm, instead of 1 lightning bolt at a time, there were 3, it was pretty crazy, anyways thats enough about my weekend, now, to the hectic week, i have to get up early 2morrow to get contacts 9:00 to be exact, then 9:30 the next day to go somewhere then i'm having buddie's over hopefully for a halo 2 LAN party. So ya, it will be a crazy week. Remember i said about an interview with xbox's Major Nelson, i think i'll hook up an interview with Ross Erickson, he manages the Xbox Live Arcade, i think it will be easier to get one with him, anyways...
GOOD NEWS!!!!
right now as i'm typing in this quite lengthy post i am rendering the Prey Xbox 360 Demo level video, with an intro that will be placed in all of our forthcomming video's. The demo is absolutely incredible, it will be one of the must buy's for me this summer remember July 11th, thats very soon mark it on your calenders, i did notice some short-commings though, i tried the online multiplayer, and i found it quite bad with lag, it doesnt handle it as well as i'dve wished, and the framerate dips quite often, but those to me are minor issue, concidering the quality of gameplay in it. Next, i did talk to Ross, really quick this afternoon, and he told me that there will be an almost constant rate of 1 XBL arcade game a week for a little while, this week will be Frogger. So look out for it. ^_^, make sure to check the blog for info about the prey demo vid, i will post up when it is posted on the video site.

Those who say...

Apple doesnt have a flair for design, are usually wrong. Especially with the opening of their newest store at 767 5th Ave. between 58th and 59th in beautiful NYC, near Central Park. BTW its open 24/7/365.

Go here, to see it, well, not the entire store, but the enterence (and the couple hundred people that gathered for the opening), which is the only part above ground. Aswell as timelapse of the stores first 24 hours.

Here, you can find a small gallery of the entrie store, the bulk of which resides under ground.

This store, in addition to being open 24/7/365 includes:

More than 100 Macs and 200 iPods to try before you buy
and the largest staff of any other, with over 300 Mac Specialists, Mac Geniuses and Creatives.

It is the 147th store in operation.

That is all from the MacNews Desk.

E3 COVERAGE!

Sorry about the delay on the E3 coverage its almost all old news and we all here at Random Bloggings do apologize and apologize again for not releasing any impressions until tomorrow, but i will tell you this, we here at Random Bloggings have been bustin our asses off to get this to you this footage and impressions for today but no can do, we need another day. Anyways thats about all, we might have a few surprises in there for you guys hehe,thanks for your patience.
Cheers,
xl KoRn lx

Im going to move away from our E3 coverage for a second or two.

Well, today, sometime before 7:30 AM PST, Apple Computer Inc. released the new Intel iBook, now named the MacBook. Starting at $1099.99, the MacBook is available in two colors, White and Black, and in 3 different configurations. It now comes standard with a built in iSight camera, iLife '06, and FrontRow, and sports a new Intel Core Duo processor. Just like the other MacIntels.

In switching the iBooks to Intel chips, Apple only leaves one PowerPC based Mac standing. The PowerMac G5. When that will change, is not known.

Thats all from the MacNews Desk. Now back to your week long E3 coverage.

~Richard

Well, Im being told...

that Scottie is getting us our trailers online. As they are we will start writing our reviews/impressions.

What am I?? Chopped Liver?

Hey, I still do things around here...
Saw the Halo 3 trailer, and it blew my mind! I cant wait to see more as the great people over at Bungie continue to develop this game.

I have also been watching the coverage over on G4TV of all the happenings so far at E3. Gears of war looks to be a really awesome game, with great graphics and a gritty look to its people and landscapes. I also saw the Call of Duty trailer, another beautiful game, very gritty (it is a WWII game).

The future looks good for anyone who owns (or plans to own) an Xbox 360. Many great games are being shown this week. Forza 2 is another game shown at the Microsoft press conference. Now, I am not much for the simulated driving type games, I like arcade-type racing myself, but this game looks really good. Realistic cars, tracks, everything... just really crisp all around.

Do we here at Random Bloggings love Microsoft?? Not nessecarily, we just like the games and content produced for their system.... Sony, can just wither away and die, cause at $499-$599, I aint going near that thing, especially after having two of their last system die on me... not cool Sony!

As for Nintendo.... Metroid looked nice, as did Zelda (which also looked nice in 2005... and 2004) but that controller is a bit too "out there" for me to even attempt to understand

Reviews Section.

A reviews section has been added to the Video site, making it a Video/Review site now.

My review/look back on the Halo trilogy is now up there, and were working on getting the video of the trailer up and running.

Bear with us.


~Richard

Halo 3

This review has been moved to the new reviews section.

Response To "Ladies and Gentlemen..."

Yes its here,
hello everyone and welcome to E3 '06 on Random Bloggings, a huge event for us here at Random Bloggings, as for the E3 coverage it will have to wait mostly for next week we will write up reviews and previews and impressions, but no video trailers at this time, we apologize. I have nothing to capture with until next week, very sorry. But you will see Richard review on the Halo 3 trailer very soon if not already, its our way of telling you its all gonna come. Thank you for putting it together Richard. Thats the only update i've got for now.
Cheers,
xl KoRn lx

Halo 3.

If you click the link in the title, you get the Halo 3 Announce Trailer.

Sony loses the war.


Congrats to Bungie AND Microsoft, who have gained much more respect from me.

I wont be posting a review until Scott sees it, he hasnt seen it, yet.

Well, until later.

~ Richard

Videos:
They are now in the template on the side ^_^

Hello all.

From 360 heaven, or something very close to it.


I picked up Perfect Dark Zero, used for somewhere in the neighborhood of $37 American. Not a bad deal. Single player/Online Co-op with Scottie went by very quickly.

Wanting to get Oblivion. Oh, looks like such a good game. Scottie and another freind of mine convinced me. Thats on my want list.

Found out something really interesting/scarey over the weekend. Gamespot (www.gamespot.com) , a web site that reviews games, they usually have a good track record with them too. But they have Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 for the PS2 (CRAP SYSTEM!!!) with a review score of 10.0... perfect. Bull... sorry gamespot, by thats just not right.

Umm... few changes to the blog. The Halo 2 stats section has been removed, and each stats banner has been replaced with the Xbox Live Gamer card of the 3 Bloggers here, ((Myself, Scott and Don.) Sorry, Don, I didnt like how the stats had stretched the page a bit.)

Other than that... theres nothing.

~RS

This is a blog?

I have slowly been getting into Team MLG games lately. Mainly, because as a custom, MLG is usually a good Team Slayer game. Now, the official rules have been posted for the 2006 season, and the plasma pistol has been disowned as an acceptable weapon in favor of more BR battles.

No more BR/PP combo in MLG is a change for the better, as instead of "whos got combo?" being your concern, the new concern is "whos the best with BR?". I hate "the Combo" with a passion, mainly because when someone pick it up, thats all they use to get kills, its cheap, and unless you can get to cover before that green blob hits you, you are screwed. I would like anyone reading this to leave some comments, your thoughts on the new rules, or your thoughts on the BR/PP combo.

I have linked the new rules as the heading for this blog, so its not that hard to find

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.

~ RS

Wooooo....

Hey, wow... its been awhile... hasnt it?

Well, Ill probably be updating alot more for the next 2 weeks... its Christmas Break.

Thats right 2 weeks of no school... ah, I love this time of year.

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.

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.

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

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!!!!

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.

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.

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!
