Twitter & Twinkle
Well, there I go again MIA; guess I am just horrible at dedication to this blog of mine. However, or consequently, I’ve grown fond to this Twitter craze! It’s simple, quick, and easy.
I wonder if there is a plug-in to blog my tweets, or vice-versa?
Well, back to my schedule ass kicking on some Xbox Live!
Top 10 video Game Villains
Is your favorite game villain listed? If I was forced to pick only one I too would have to go with Bowser… he was just ruthless!
Choose Your Wow Side

ISolated INcident
Well, Dane Cook’s new gig is out and abroad; I must be a critic and share my awesome opinion on it! Mainly, it rocks because it is all fresh material and not a few couple new one liners thrown into some old shenanigans. Much appreciated Mr. Cook. He really brings out some subjective matter and grabs the essence of hilarity perfectly, as always.
One thing, it seems Dane here enjoys Xbox 360 online gaming? I’ve seen him mention scenario of gaming online and with this new release he even throws out a Halo 3 quip. I don’t know about anyone else, but I would enjoy gaming with DC, the shit he would say while playing would have me balling in tears with laughter!
I emailed DC on this request so let’s see if he won’t be a douche about it 
Enjoying My 360
Drifting away from the WoW addiction and starting to immensely enjoy the 360! Halo 3, L4D, Gears 2… what isn’t there to like!??
Come get some! Woot!
Damn, it has been awhile…
Well… I’ve definitely been letting my blog go down a drain. All desire to update it drifted elsewhere. I mean I really would enjoy being more active, but I seem to occupy my time elsewhere. World of Warcraft…. need I say anything more?
Miss me 
WoW Addiction
So…. have I just disappeared from the face of earth? Some would probably wish that on me.
Aliens abduct me and perform scientific experiments? No, but would be interesting to live and tell about it!
Insanely so, any and the great majority of my free-time is being spent within the overwhelming World of Warcraft! This game offers so much diverse game-play and options that leave you adventuring for endless hours. To share my joy, here is my latest endeavor…
Rockstar is Cruel
Either they are just ultimately testing the strong willed or being entirely cruel and heartless…
Finals are all this week and lo and behold what releases tomorrow? GTA IV! I will strive for excellence on my studies, but as any logical fellow gamer knows GTA IV is going to take over all free time and allow for some mayhem. Here’s to all us loyal gamers awaiting the midnight hour…. tick tock tick tock.
Ohh, Mr. eDigital (Eric McGregor) please prepare yourself for total pimpage during the late hours, because yes I will be owning your ass online!
Final Week Countdown…
As some may attest they will clearly know just what next Tuesday or even Midnight will bestow upon millions of people worldwide! GTA IV… the game that has to be the most anticipated greatness or thugness… to hit consoles this year. Are you excited and foaming out your mouth to play? I am looking forward to it, I just hope online is immensely satisfying.
Xbox Live Banned My Gamertag….
I ultimately do not know whom or what authoritative figure made this call, but my gamer-tag was banned and I’ve owned it for several years; hell, I have even been a proud XBL member since the original Ghost Recon on the Xbox! I sincerely can’t believe that when I go to sign in I am presented with some whacked messaged that my gamer-tag is not in accordance with their policies. Then it offers for me to change it and then the Xbox360 loops in a sequence telling me I can’t change my gamer-tag unless I am signed into LIVE, but I can’t because my gamer-tag is banned… freaking awesome Micro Soft!
What is most puzzling is that if my gamer-tag, XboxDruggie, was out of accordance this entire time why is it only now, years after registering that it is banned? Especially without any warning or even course of action within a timed manner. Just cut me off from the service I’ve paid for upfront.
I really hope there is an amazing explanation because I plan on emailing and calling whatever depart head managers I must to have this explained as to “how” it is out of their accordance of policy!
Also, Mr. Major Nelson, if you happen to read this please enlighten me to this tragedy!
Xbox 360 Fix
Were you playing a great game of Halo, only to have your Xbox 360 crash on you right in the middle of game play!? Well I’ve had this happen to me, and it was one of the most frustrating things! If you’re a hardcore gamer and you’re reading this article, most likely you are all too familiar with this.
Microsoft offers to fix your Xbox 360 if you ship it to them, but if your console is no longer under warranty, guess who’ll be paying for it!? Personally, I couldn’t think of a worse thing then to send my Xbox 360 away for many weeks or even months! That’s valuable gaming time I’m missing, not to mention that there have been many cases where an owner gets his/her system back, only to find that the console STILL crashes! That’s just not acceptable.
Luckily, there are actually a few things you can do to that may help to fix your console:
The first thing you can do is to make sure that your Xbox 360 has space to breathe. What I mean by this is to make sure that your console is far away from any heat vents or heaters that may increase the temperature of the system. Also, make sure there is nothing blocking the air intake vents on the console. The console already runs very hot to the touch, so making sure that it is well ventilated will help to cool it down, and many times can fix the problems people have with their systems crashing.
Another thing you can try is to grab a small fan or even something like a hair dryer that has a cold setting, and aim it at the vents on the side of the Xbox 360. This can not only help to cool the console, but also remove any dust that surrounds the important computer chips inside.
If neither of these things work, there are actually step-by-step, easy to follow guides all about Xbox 360 fixes.

Halo 3 Nears Even Closer….
2 final days of waiting stand in our way! Though it may seem like an eternal wait… it will pass the time very quickly with some of these ideas:
1) Run to you nearest GameStop and pray you can still pre-order a regular edition… (if you were hard headed not to already)
2) Practice your ass off in some Halo 2 multiplayer
3) Play through Halo and Halo 2 again
Add some of your own in the comments if anyone feels so enticed to!
Tech Heaven Contest
This contest will literally astound you! Sponsored and offered by Xbox 360 Fanboy:
50″ Plasma 1080P TV
Xbox 360 Elite
Bose Surround System
Talk about an amazing god-like set-up! I could game in style with that goodness! Truthfully, if I was ever so lucky to be “The One” to win that prize package I just might fall out in a coma!
School Begins
After a long summer of no classes Fall is here and so is the Fall term for college! I’m so ready for another great semester of expanding my brain and knowledge. Just more college credit hours to go toward my major in education; as well as, building a solid foundation for my future! The only downside of today is…. Bioshock releases for the 360 and PC! So, I’ll just have to wait until I get home this after noon to play; although, I may even have to wait until 9PM when my sweetheart gets back from her class, because she too wanted to play through the game with me!
Life is good for those whom try!
Halo 3 Beta Thoughts and Shadowrun Anticipation
I’m quite lucky as I was sold on the Crackdown game; yet, not only for the fact of the Halo 3 Beta, but also because the game seemed to offer up a slew of goodness from what I had read. Well… Bungie had confirmed a release day for the Halo 3 Beta, May 16th! It’s been 11 days since the release and I’ve practically played everyday from the 16th until today. That alone lends to proof that it is still as addictive as the previous installment, Halo 2. Graphics have taken a huge leap forward; I just can’t fathom the reasoning for how anyone can substantially claim that the graphics aren’t much better than Halo 2! The new toys (Bubble Shield, Power Drainer, Grav Lift, etc…) are quite entertaining along with a new tactic of how to play. The maps are well designed and laid out, and the vehicles are great as well; so, then, what is missing to make it an amazing game that is tipping the charts of excitement?
I believe that it’s really all just boiled down to a sequel with nothing flamboyant enough to push it over the edge like Halo 2 did. That’s not to say it won’t sell a zillion and one copies shortly after release, but I personally feel it is lacking something to give it a great edge over amazingness. I could be wrong and it might just be me… but I’m not impressed.
On the other hand, Shadowrun intrigues me much more and hope the devs have tweaked it immensely since the beta days…
That is one game I can see me playing for a good long while to come. Plus, it arrives next week!
Bright Future
Life can be very good! I have been promoted at my job and I’m moving to another store; although I’m not too happy about the part of moving to another store I am ecstatic about the promotion! Thank you Jeff & Kevin!!! It’s a great feeling to have my hard work being recognized and appreciated.
This past semester which ended on May 4th went great and I pulled away with 2 As and a B! I look forward to enrolling into Fall term for another slew of classes to tackle and leave with great grades.
My sweetheart is still as beautiful and amazing since the first day I laid eyes on her face. She believes in me and her positive beliefs push me through all the hard-ships to succeed and shine through; I love you sweetheart.
Ahh, gaming… what’s new? HALO 3!!! The beta dropped on the lucky people that were in the know of how to get in. crackdown was my ticket. I’m slightly impressed, but I am awaiting some more finalized details of content, total online maps, modes, new features, and video controls. Although it does look much more purtier over Halo 2, it needs to offer more… in my opinion.
I am selling my motorcycle, I know I’m going to miss it badly; and, I’m hunting for a vehicle I can afford and trust for reliability. I wish I could keep my zoom zoom toy, but it’s just not feasible for transportation, it’s great on gas, but when if it rains I can’t show up to work looking like a drowned rat! Hopefully eBay will be my savior in the hunt for a good car that I can depend on.
Well… peace out!
Off to Work
Yea, I would so much like to still be on Rainbow kicking some serious ass, but duty calls and responsibility engages strongly. I will be on after work though! So, come get some!
Gears of War – Update & Maps!
This is awesome news! It’s been reported of two new maps hitting GoW on the 10th and prior to the new maps a killer update that fixes the main gripes or actually ONLY gripes I have about he game. Though, as morally correct as it is the update also stops buddy ranked games by removing the names from the server list in ranked matches searches.
