I know I know

Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

It’s been well over a year since my last post, good gosh! One of the reasons I haven’t posted is because I was to lazy sometimes to fix the site due to old plugins messing with the new wordpress, and I had a bad import of the database, then I’d get to busy and completely not have anytime for the site. So my lazy butt finally fixed it and well so much has happened in my life since then and so little at the same time well in my gaming world that is, as I don’t play nearly as much as I used to when I first started the site.

So X5 is back sort of and I’ll definitely try to keep you updated a bit more then once between 2 years haha. Anyways as you can see below in my last post I always had problems with my Xbox 360 dvd drive, and it finally crapped out on me a few months ago which isn’t to bad considering it was a launch 360 so it lasted me a good 3 years! I’m currently borrowing a 360 to curb my xbox gaming needs until I can afford to buy another 360 and I’m thankful for that!

Wow there’s so much more I want to say! But I’ll spread it out over upcoming posts, and for those of you who still read this thank you and I hope to keep you entertained and informed as much as I can in the future.

Wii-Joice it’s finally here!

Friday, March 30th, 2007

My Nintendo Wii is finally here! It actually came in 2 days ago, but I’ve also been busy with other things at the same time, and even though I only have one game (Wii Sports) for it at the moment, It is so much fun! I’ve been playing Tennis, Baseball, and Golf the most, it really is interactive and addicting, and it definitely is all the hype they advertised.

And seeing that I’ve had some time the past few days to play around with my Wii, I’ve played with some of the online capabilities, such as the Wii Friend’s List, Yes it is a little clunky seeing that you have to exchange Wii Numbers (I have my nephew on there) but once you are on the list you stay there. Then the Mii Channel I’ve created and sent my Mii to my nephew and he sent me his, It was really easy you just drag your Mii to an envelope and he’s on his way! Then the Wii Shop I’ve downloaded some of the virtual console games from SNES, N64, and Turbo-Grafx 16, and they run really smooth. And there’s also a Photo Channel where you can share/post photos from an SD Memory Card to the Wii Message board so your friends on your list can see your photos.

Overall I’m really enjoying the Nintendo Wii for what it is…Interactive Fun and Entertainment, it’s a definite needed and refreshing change from other consoles, and it works as advertised. The controllers are definitely not just a gimmick they are a real part of the game, and they really make you feel like you are part of the game. Plus it burns calories, gets you up off the chair, and it beats just sitting twiddling your fingers and thumbs on a controller right? Well enough with the babble on to the pictures, and back to my Wii! Enjoy

PS - These pics are from my new digicam I recently bought, no more crummy cellphone pics!

Your Xbox 360 Can Blog

Monday, May 1st, 2006

Well as always I get my dish of morning news via RSS everymorning, and I thought this article was pretty funny and interesting so I wanted to share with you all before I headed off to work, it appears they have a way to make it look like your Xbox 360 is blogging like a real person would, you just have to signup with your gamertag and email, and there website grabs an RSS feed (like a person would) of the games you played or what not, then it starts blogging about the games you played after it collects all the needed info, and yes I signed up :) I just have to wait the 2 days before it kicks in, I’ll post about it again when it starts blogging! Let me know if you signed up also

Quote from majornelson.com

It’s creepy and curious…all at the same time. XboxVoice.com give your Xbox 360 the ability to blog all by itself. In other words, you enter your gamertag at the site, and based on what you do on Xbox Live (games played etc) Xbox360voice will automatically create a blog for your Xbox 360. Each day your Xbox 360 will blog an entry…even if you don’t game.

Where in the world

Sunday, March 19th, 2006

I know I know it’s been awhile since I posted anything, it’s because I’ve been busy with other things, and working on stuff in the background on this page that you can’t really see, such as I’ve been reading a lot about webpage (design, colors, resolution, etc.) and I backed up mysql database and moved it over to another database, upgraded my wordpress, and experimented with some plugins, blah blah blah.

Well anyways there is one thing you CAN see that I’ve done, I’ve finally finished designing a default theme for this page…yessss! It’s called X5 Barcode I’ve strongly based it off of a theme I came across on here called Industrial by Jeriko One, and if you can’t see the theme right now, just go over to Themes in the sidebar and select X5 Barcode from the dropdown menu, and voila! Don’t be scared to leave me comments or whatever ;)
