I’m finally in the club.

Posted on September 7, 2008 by baudattitude

Tomorrow I get to call Microsoft and ask them how to get my 360 fixed. I’m actually GLAD this finally happened. My console has a manufacture date of 9/11/2006 and I was worried that it might survive, against considerable odds, … Continue reading →

Posted on January 27, 2008 by baudattitude

Posted on January 25, 2008 by baudattitude

So, I’ve gone back to the Xbox 360’s launch library for my next game, Kameo. This was a game I was really looking forward to when it was announced as a Gamecube title – I even had a Kameo wallpaper … Continue reading →
