Everyone else on the planet who has played World of Warcraft for more than a month or two probably has several 60th level characters. I am a tinkerer...I start characters and delete them with lots of abandon. In fact, I kept moving servers because I like new servers. I finally hunkered down and went back to my original server and finished my 60th Level Hunter (some 14 months after I started playing). Better late than never?
I am looking forward to some end-game instances with my guild as I have solo'd all 60 levels (I don't play well with others and Hunters aren't the most requested class in groups).
With this post (and the prior GOW post) it looks like I never get any work done. Thankfully I don't have kids that I am ignoring...just my girlfriend, but after 10 years she could use a break ;)
I got my XBox 360 back yesterday and have been chainsawing my way through the single player campaign again. I hope to finish it soon and get destroyed in some multi-player action. If you're online and playing GOW, give me a yell.
Its happened. I read over on Chris Sells' blog about his XBox 360 + GOW issue and hoped it wouldn't happen to me. Well it did.
I played through the first section and a half of GOW without incident, but then suddenly it would just lockup unexpectedly. Not a good sign, but I've had some lockups but not many on the console. But now the box is completely dead. 3 Red-lights and lots of sadness. I called support and MS is going to fix it even though I am not sure that it is really under warranty. I am not a conspiracy theorist, but my guess would be that there is a real issue that perhaps doesn't occur until the box is pressed really hard (like GOW does).
I am curious to find out if any of my readers have had an issue after their GOW playtime. Any dead machines?
I was looking through the manual for Gears of War and saw this magnificant weapon. Do you think we could have found Bin Laden by now if we'd put a chainsaw on an M16? I do...
Microsoft announced today that starting 11/14/2006 they will be providing the ability to rent movies and buy TV shows from the XBox Live Marketplace. Their lineup contains 200 hours of HD and 800 hours of near-HD quality programming. This is a *big* deal in my mind (especially since it launches when the PS3 comes out). Check out the announcement including the initial title lineup here:

I especially like the Comedy Central and Cartoon Network inclusion, though The Daily Show and The Colbert Report are suspiciously absent. What do you think?
I've found a screenshot on Engadget:
I finally hit 5,000 Achievement Points on my XBox Live account. It was finally the Doom Arcade game that put me over the top. Boy its still addictive after all these years. Wahoo!
Here are some that I like. Follow the links to vote on your favorites:
I spent most of last week on the road in Alabama, and came home to a very short weekend before I left today for a week in Missouri. Saturday my copy of Dead Rising for the XBox 360 arrived and I am hooked. So I did something I haven't done before, I took my XBox 360 with me. After getting a S-Video cable and fiddling with the Hotel TV for a while, I finally got it to work!
I'll get a chance to see how the 360 works without HD. I'll have a review by the end of the week.
I doubt I'll ever get anything running, but I am going to play with it to see if I can get a quick game running...
Download it now!
CAVEAT: Requires Visual Studio Express. Visual Studio Standard or Enterprise are NOT supported right now.
After way too much time with Elder Scrolls: Oblivion for the XBox 360, I finally finished all the 50 achievements. 1,000 achievement points baby! I can't even imagine how much time I took, but I finished all the quest trees (but not every quest, only the quest trees).
This is one of the best console games I've ever played. Very engrossing, but I am ready to send it back to GameFly after five months.
Whew!
