Christmas Philocast – Top 10 Xbox 360 Accessories and Top 10 Xbox 360 Games Under $20
In: Gaming
25 Dec 2009Merry Christmas folks! My wife bought me one of the Blue Snowball USB Microphones for Christmas and I thought, “what better way to try it out than a Christmas Podcast!”
The topic for tonight is obviously Xbox 360 Games and Accessories. Here are the links to the things I mention in the show:
Xbox 360 Accessories:

Every city seems to have one. That dirty street you walk down, you know there are prostitutes around, someone is selling drugs, sometimes it’s out in the open, sometimes it’s just beneath the surface. This weekend I was introduced to one such street online, while playing World of Warcraft.
How I Got Involved
It started innocently enough. [...]
The internet: Your soapbox is not as big as you think
In: Gaming
2 Jul 2009 While watching Heroes tonight, I read a little Digg.com (I don’t know why I bother sometimes!) I came across an image titled:
How To Force Blizzard To Add LAN Support To Starcraft II (PIC)
Looking at the image, you see that a customer is canceling his World of Warcraft account in order to protest the dubiously [...]
Gaming: Quick Action Button Sequences have got to go
In: Gaming
29 May 2009
Recently I have been playing Star Wars: The Force Unleashed on Xbox 360. I am not sure where these sequences got their start, I first remember them in the Tomb Raider games, but please, for the love of God, QUIT!
Surely you have seen it, in TFU, I am fighting this big monster, I get [...]
Blizzard Does Not Believe People Quit World of Warcraft Because They Don’t Play It
In: Gaming
28 May 2009Recently I signed back up for World of Warcraft to do some testing on Windows 7 and the new ATI series of video cards. Today I wanted to cancel the account so I didn’t get charged again, and had to laugh at the options for quitting. There are two drop downs to explain your reason [...]
Retro Gaming Gone Mini: Diablo II on an MSI Wind Netbook
In: Gaming
3 Mar 2009 Today at Fry’s, the wife and I decided to pick up the Diablo II Battle Chest. I had been talking about the game forever and I she wanted to try it. I promised I would play with her, so we bought two copies and headed home.
We quickly installed the game on our main desktops [...]
FPS, RTS, RPG… What I love and hate about gaming in 2009
In: Gaming
2 Mar 2009If you are in the early 30s like me, you have quite a bit of gaming history to draw from. I wasn’t kicking pong, but I did get my start on the good ole’ Atari 2600. From then to now I have covered the 2600, Commodore 64/128, Nintendo Entertainment System, Sega Master System, Sega Genesis, [...]

I will admit to being a humongous fan of F.E.A.R. when it came out. I had just been given an Xbox 360 by my lovely wife for Christmas and made a hasty trip to Best Buy for a half dozen games. F.E.A.R. quickly jumped out in front and became the game that sold me [...]

Copied World of Warcraft from another machine to save time and now you can’t update? Here’s a fix…
In: Gaming
22 Feb 2009World of Warcraft is a beast to install alone, patching it up to the latest version is another story. Many people, me included, will make a backup of the World of Warcraft folder to save time installing it on a new machine. This used to work just dandy, but now you might find yourself presented [...]
Now to be fair I haven’t played it much, but I did get into it enough to know that the control scheme is a little cludgy and the game inturrupts you quite a bit to give you story. Now I like story, but give me a nice beginning cut scene, one at the beginning and end of each level if you have to, then leave me alone. … Haze I am probably going to get beat up for this one, but this game feels a whole lot like Halo for PS3.

Rainbox Six Vegas 2 for 360 – In Game Advertising
In: Gaming
13 Jan 2009I think this is really cool. Obviously it’s something that’s dynamic because the game came out before the campaign did. It’s unobtrusive advertising and it’s pretty relative to my interests obviously.

Review: Fallout 3 for Xbox 360
In: Gaming
16 Nov 2008I had been looking for something new to play for a little while. After being quickly disinterested in Fable II and finding Gears of War 2 to be the same as the previous, which I disliked, (much to the dismay of my friends I might add) Andy and I made our way into GameCrazy [...]

The more I see, hear, and read about LucasArts Star Wars: The Force Unleashed the more excited I get for the highly anticipated all major platform release on Sept 16th. There are 2 big reasons I see gamers piddling by the front door for it: the tech & the tale!

Condemned 2 Bloodshot Review
In: Gaming
5 Apr 2008I had a rough time with its predecessor, but it had enough good in it for me to finish the game. I had seen some cool trailers for Bloodshot (Condemned 2) so I was pretty excited to pick it up last week and check it out, and I am glad I did, they took a [...]
The Pain of Call of Duty 4 – Veteran Difficulty
In: Gaming
5 Apr 2008Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare has been a blast to play! In fact, the one major downside of the game is how short the single player campaign is. So I started over on veteran with the intention of getting the mile high club achievement rumored to be almost impossible.
I am about halfway through [...]
