Faceplate is done and mounted!!


All I have to do is paint the DVD drive plate and do the vent holes and the xbox 360 text on the side.. It is coming along great and this project will it in my living room nicely!! Just wish it was a real xbox 360 that would be hilarious! But I don't know how to make a giant DVD!! J/j anyways in the gaming world the update for the xbox 360 supposed to update the dashboard. Did do that and made it so you could not play any copy of the kiosk disc which.. Sucks ass for any development of software as far as a boot disk thing or editing themes and gamer pics. But sooner or later it will come along the 360 will be hacked and cracked and treated badly... LOL but for now the good thing about it not getting hacked right away is the price of it is going to drop as soon as the ps3 comes out. Cause they are going to be cheaper to make. Homebrew xbox stuff is going to fade away and xbmc updates will end.. But there is another update on the web that you can get.. I think it was released like a couple days ago. But If you guys have any questions about it.. Just shoot me an email or catch me on xbox live!! Email: im_mcclain@yahoo.com

Perfect Dark Zero!

Man this game is good.. i would say amlost as good as Halo 2... hey! i said ALMOST! It has its ups and downs like this game makes it harder to spawn kill... Brilliant! Halo 2 on the other hand you spawn killed at least once a game. Downside to PDZ is that it takes forever to find a decent match with no bots and a full room.. everyone room hops till they find cool people to play with. With Halo of course there is matchmaking and that is the best thing since sliced cheese and bread to make a cheese sandwich! With PDZ i noticed there is not as much trash talking which is WAY better i can actually play this game with my kids in the house... lol! I love the dodge button and i feed off it.. just dont try to play PDZ for a while and go straight to Halo 2 you will be trying to dodge/roll and just hitting you com. button so you get pwned. Lesson from exsperience dont try that at home!!! lmao. but in my last blog i told you to check the xboxliveradio.com out i still seem to love it i have it playing right now and during the days they dont have anything scheduled they do xbox 360,xbox, and mod podcasts like major nelson but not as big.. lol well peace out my xbl buddies and i will see you all later on my blog or xbl!!!

Giant XBOX 360 Update! Shelving complete!




The shelving is complete and it is starting to fall together I just got the foam to start carving the faceplate so I can wrap it in plaster cast with a smooth plaster top layer. I also cut out the front so I can open the faceplate to the left and store my games and controllers there. I will be picking out the paint and start drawing outlines for details. The side will open to the top and have removable shelves with canvas bags to store various items cords and stuff. Under the canvas bags there is storage for my gaming mags. I suspect the project to be complete within the next few weeks and I thank everyone for the support. Especially www.gamerslounge.com!! <=== awesome site check it out!!

Halo 3 screen leaked!! Supposedly!

Blue rocketed my base and blew a hole in it!
This is the screen shot of halo that was reportedly leaked! Please god be a real thing! This game looks beautiful and if that is a actual gameplay shot omfg! Bungie is expected to make an announcement of there next project at e3 in may but, don't expect anything grand thought reports of the game being in the beta testing process. On gampro.com one of the headlines states that gates said halo 3 wont make ps3 deadline which it may be released with the movie. Which I think is a terrible idea. Who would like to wait in line for 13+ hours to go see the movie and then go sit in line for another 13+ just to get the game. Not me! Well just keep our fingers crossed and hope the next halo is like this pic and that it comes out soon. There is also a German website with demo pics that look like it could be real. But, I think its photoshoped and streamed to the xbox 360 they also have trailer screenshots that you might want to check out with this link. HERE Cybercast out. LOL

Finally I have got a XBOX 360!!!! Brilliant!

Finally!!! Yes, its true. I have gotten a XBOX 360 premium system.... Well not yet it is on layaway.. LOL but you know its better than trying to find one later. As everyone probably know I have been obsessed with this console since I heard of it and I am glad it is out and I have one. Plus my wife has a store discount so I get it for 349.00 which totally kicks ass! 50 bucks I can spend on accessories or games. This console will kick the shit out of the PS3 just for the live content alone! Yeah you do have to pay 50 bucks a year for it but for having it for about 2.5 yrs its an investment well spent for any hardcore gamer that likes to play with friends. What is better for lazy gamers then to tell them you can play with you buddies across town with out going to there house.. Brilliant! Well I told you I wouldn't update but this is a special occasion!
