Win a Xbox 360… For real!!!

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

Ok folks, I know most of you probably already have an Xbox 360 but with the RROD ever of the horizon a person could always use a spare— right?!?!?!

I write a VBScript blog over at a site called the IT Knowledge Exchange and they are running a promotion now where if you answer questions and ask questions you earn “knowledge points”, The 3 people with the highest points between now and April 30th will win an Xbox 360 console.

I personally have won prize in a contest here before and I can vouch for the fact that you do in fact get your prizes… so If you know about Information technology, or If you have questions about it, head on over there and sign up to win an Xbox 360!!

Game on!!!

Genre updates @360Voice = Work for us XML samurai’s — not anymore!

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

I finally got around to updating the code to recognize the Genre updates at 360Voice for the List of Games… what a pain. So I put in a little effort and the next Genre Update at 360Voice should be Automatic. So we won’t have to wait on me to update the site, it’ll update when the games at 360voice get updated.

Plus, a side benefit of this is that genre changes (when a game gets moved from one to the other) get updated too! This is a big benefit because I’ve been adding games not in a genre to genres where I thought they should go. Now 360Voice’s Genre’s will override that.

As an additional Side benefit… when new DLC becomes available and the Total Achievements or Total Gamer Score changes it will update as well.

The Final update was a couple of our own genres… like:

Enjoy!

Wired Guitar Hero Guitar for $9.99 — and it’s from Red Octane, not EBAY!

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

I thought I’d pass this little gem along to those of you who might need another guitar for Guitar Hero II, Guitar Hero III, Guitar Hero : World Tour, or Rock Band 2. I have one of these and they work fine on all the games mentioned… and for $10… you just can’t beat the price!

More features on their way!… Video Game REVIEWS

Monday, September 15th, 2008

I’m working on two things right now for the site as a by product of no longer having to worry about space used on the drive. They are:

  1. “A voting mechanism”, no not for gamersigs– but that’s a good idea too!
  2. Video Game reviews.

The second is the one is what I’m unveiling tonight. It’s called One-Hour reviews and the basic premise is explained in the first post in the blog, but to elaborate on what you can expect from the reviews is:

  • Brutal honesty in what the bloggers think about the game (yes, there’s more than one. If you’d like to blog about games you purchase send me a freind request and I’ll get you an account setup)
  • Humor
  • A mini walk through of the hour I played the game, including achievment points earned!
  • The writer’s thoughts on if you should buy the game or not.

First up is Star Wars: The Force Unleased.

Stumbled on this deal and thought I’d pass it on…

Everyone, if your Xbox Live account is about to expire (or if you want to just add to your time) I found a pretty decent deal for 13 Months of Xbox Live! for $43.99 with FREE SHIPPING! over @buy.com, plus they have some decent deals on new releases. (a couple of bucks off generally without the waiting in line)
