My Xbox 360 VGA Mod

December 6th, 2006

Now this mod was crazy, I got the idea to do it after I saw this Article How-To: Turn a standard Xbox 360 video cable into a VGA cable and I’m glad I found it, BUT after I started in I was telling one of my friends on here you should get brain surgery certification after you finish this haha, but seriously you got to have some pretty good patience, a steady hand, and other super human abilities, and being me of course that wasn’t a problem j/k but in the end it was well worth it and it’s a pretty cool accomplishment, it took me a good 2 days because I had to do it after work, and a few times I had to make a compromise in materials, but as you can see it’s all together and working, I even added in a few different outputs, like the Headphone jack, and the Dolby Digital Coax, I’m hoping to paint it black someday also, now on to the pics!

My Black Painted Xbox 360

December 6th, 2006

I did this almost a year ago now, around the end of February 06 to be exact, but I don’t know why I’ve never posted about it on my site! I did this by gutting the 360 completely and taking apart anything that I wanted painted black on the outside, for the paint I used Black Krylon Fusion, the stuff works great! My 360 looks just as good as the day I painted it, anywho here’s the pics, and there’s more in my Flickr Album if you’d like to take a look

First Halo 3 TV Commercial

December 5th, 2006

All I have to say is F^&*ng wow! I know this wasn’t made in game but I love the commercial! That shield grenade was just awesome, and I’m also thinking before they show Master Chief get up he was having a flashback, so that one of those little kids in the beginning of the trailer are him and some other kid on Planet Reach, That’s the planet where John (Master Chief - Spartan 117) was born and raised. And if you’re wondering how I know that I’ve read the books, and if you haven’t read them yet or don’t feel like reading them all, do yourself a favor and AT LEAST read The Fall Of Reach you won’t regret it! Anyways onto the video, enjoy

Me + Live Vision + Rainbow Six Vegas

Equals my head mapped into the game! I have to say it works pretty well, it’s not me EXACTLY but it’s really not to far off and you can clearly see the resemblance, and I’m now a big fan of this and wish they did face mapping in more games, it’s just way to awesome see yours and your friends heads/faces in a game, especially when you get to shoot them! Well enough with the yapping and on with the pictures, I took this with my cellphone (yes I need a digicam) so they aren’t exactly the highest quality, but you can still see my face and what not, anyways now i’m gonna go back to blasting terrorists sky high in style :D

Happy Thanksgiving

November 23rd, 2006

It’s not to far from dinner time here, so I figure I better stop playing my Xbox 360 for a little bit and post this before I go stuff myself. And as you know the holidays are upon us, so I’m feeling a bit better about somethings the past few days, Holidays can do that :) and I actually helped out a nice amount with getting dinner ready this year, I helped make 12 pumpkin pies, and helped make the stuffing last night, and I also learned how to prepare and stuff the turkey earlier this afternoon, I’m pretty excited to see how it all turns out, well I better get going I hope you all have/had a safe, great day, and an awesome dinner! Take care
