What to Write About?

Well, I want to write about something, but I don’t know what. I just haven’t found THE topic yet for some reason. So… what’s been going on… I’m back, I guess. I got my 360 that I ordered fixed, but then it broke again (with the same error (E74 if anyone was wondering) and I fixed it again. If any of you are wondering, I did the X-Clamp fix the first time around, and then today after it died again, loosened everything up, scraped the old heatsink paste off, put new stuff on, put the heatsinks back on and tighten the screws (make sure they’re reeeally tight) and then I baked it. Who knows, I’ll probably write a tutorial (but probably without pictures, because I’ve done it already…). So, it’s working fine and dandy now, but I’m not going to play it much until I either get a Talismoon Whisper Max or a Nyko Intercooler TS. Who knows. So, that’s about it on what’s going on in my boring life. Nothing at all. That’s what the internet is for, right?

Gone For A Week… Again

Well, I think the title tells all. I won’t be here for a week… maybe. I hear the spot I’m going to has Wi-Fi, but I don’t think I’ll write much. You’ll maybe get one post out of me… maybe.

See you in 7.

DSiCade… Half-Review, Overview, etc.

Well, again, I suddenly feel the urge to write. And since I don’t have any REAL games to review, I’m going to… half-review half games… yeah. Let’s see how it goes.  About a month or two ago, I came across this VERY cool site named DSiCade. Obviously this site is located at http://dsicade.com/. I know this probably all sounds like advertising, but it is not, but you probably won’t believe me when I say that… hm… anyways, DSiCade is a website build specifically for the DSi, and is pretty neat. There are a series of games and apps that were built for the DSi Web Browser. At first it started out with just three choices, Touch Mii, which was like a Simon clone, War Games,a Missile Command clone that was a little buggy at first, but seems to be better now. Then there was the ShoutBox, which pretty much was a chatroom full of… people. Nothing much to it. I still find it a little slow, though.

Video Ads on YouTube?

What do you know, a new post already. I was just looking at different things on YouTube, and noticed that there was a :30 ad before the actual video itself. I don’t know if this is new or not, but I am not a fan of this at all. I don’t know why they need even more ads on YouTube, but you never know I guess. I haven’t heard of this before, so I’m just getting it out there if it hasn’t been already.

360 Coverage Coming Soon…. Maybe.

I recently purchased a broken Xbox 360 off of ebay, which I am hoping to eventually repair. I’m just giving you guys the heads-up that I may start covering 360 news soon, since the whole topic becomes much more interesting when you can actually play the games you are talking about. If any of you guys are wondering, it has the e74 error, but I do not know what the actual error code is. I am also going to do the X-clamp fix followed by “baking".” (BUT NO TOWELS) I’ll see if the whole X-clamp mod actually works, and who knows, I may end up with a 360 in my hands.

Wii Sports Resort = ?

Nintendo already has a money maker in their hands, but how much of one will it turn out to be? By the looks of it so far… HUGE. I myself might pick up this one on launch day. Some things look absolutely amazing. I think that there are 12 sports including basketball, skydiving, Frisbee golf, and others. There are also two sports that have come from the original Wii Sports but are new and improved. These sports are Bowling and Golf. Wii Sports Resort comes with the MotionPlus attachment which I talked about earlier, and some of the games use it to its full potential. I think I am going to be spending a lot of time with the new golf game, that’s for sure.

SOREEEE.

I’m a bad person. Sorry that I haven’t been posting much, I was just on a mini vacation, and didn’t give you guys any warning, and now I can’t think of any good topics to write about. I guess the summer drought is here already. If I am able to pick up The Conduit, I’ll give you guys my first impressions.
