Gaming
Posts about gaming hardware and… games! (Duh!) Oh, and by gaming, I mean (video)gaming!
DC MMO Announced
Although, I thought it was MMORPG, but since I have never played one, I guess I have no idea. I may play this one though since Jim Lee is attached to it. Marvel already has one in the works for the Xbox 360, so I am more inclined to play that over a DC game. Both would be cool if you could play with the few PC gamers left too.
Sam and Max
They’re back! Steve Purcell is once again drawing a Sam & Max comic, but now it is distributed on the web and interactive… sort of. Hold your cursor over each panel for the wonderful words. Started off on a bi-weekly schedule, but now looks monthly.
The comic is sponsored by the company making a new game featuring the infamous dog and rabbit duo. Don’t be too distracted by the large Bone ads.
I H8 Routers
As you may remember from last time, I had to download some new firmware for my router so that the Xbox 360 and Xbox Live (XBL) would play nice with it. I sort of made the leap from that to having had to buy a new router to make it do right. Here’s what went down.
So, I hit up the support page on the D-Link site and fill in for the DI-784. I get back a page with a bunch of crap that isn’t very relevant to my model, but since it is just confusing enough, I click on a link that seems to indicate what I want is there. What I got was a nice fat 500 Server Error for some Taiwanese domain. Excellent!
I easily found the Tech Support link to send an e-mail though. Funny how that goes… anyway, I started this nice little chain with those helpful folks “Building Networks for Peopleâ€Â... Continue reading »
No Perfect Circle
A circle is 360 degrees. The Xbox 360 has a ring of light. A ring is also a circle, unless it is a boxing ring. The Xbox 360 has made me want to hit things, so I guess that works too. A circle may be perfect, but so far my experience with the 360 has been anything but perfect.
I took delivery of the Xbox 360 almost a month ago and so ended a four month quest to obtain the sacred ivory gaming crack. I cataloged that adventure in a previous post titled A Tale of Two 360’s. That was only half the story. Okay, really it was like 2/3 of the story because it was so frickin long. Here’s the rest. Maybe…
So, if you remember, there was much excitement upon delivery. I went straight to Best Buy following Aria’s Christening apres-ski. I loaded up with Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (GRAW), Continue reading »
A Tale of Two 360’s
IT WAS the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way-in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.
Don’t be fooled, that’s about as literary as this blog will ever get. I’m just trying to drive home the title of this item, but let me see if I can relate this to the first sentence of the Dickens... Continue reading »
