Unfortunately for us our XBox 360 has succumbed to the red ring of death phenomena. We found an interesting tutorial on Youtube which indicated that wrapping the XBox in towels for 20 minutes can some times fix the problem, and that actually worked! The first two times, since then the XBox has begun flashing the [...]

In random news we seem to have be having bad luck with technology lately, but things have evened out, thankfully. We never seem to have batteries, if I have them for the camera I wind up cannibalizing them temporarily for something else, last time I went to use my camera I actually had batteries but [...]

I think it’s safe to say the munchkin had a good birthday. He’s flaked out willingly and gone to bed. He wound up not having a nap. He got a lot of nice gifts, and we all ate a lot of good food, and he got to play with our friend’s children. We had a [...]

I haven’t been much on playing with our XBox 360 since we moved because it’s up in the loft and I don’t like to be up there when the munchkin is awake because it’s all full of electronics that he could easily destroy. When he’s in bed then I feel I have other things that [...]

Our wedding anniversary is coming up and I’m trying to decide what to get my husband. It’s hard to think of what a thoughtful gift would be when he’s not really the kind of person who likes or wears men’s jewelry. Generally in this case it’s finding the appropriate video game or strange and unusual [...]

My husband and I were out at the local mall yesterday and decided to pick up another game for the XBox 360. We have XBox Live so that we can take advantage of things like demos for various games before we buy them.
I’m not that up on first-person shooters, but when I was asked to [...]

I just beat Dead or Alive 4. This morning I completed story mode with all of the characters, and unlocked “Helena”. I completed story mode with Helena and beat the game!
I’ve unlocked the easter egg character of “Lady Master Chief”, but haven’t had a chance to play with her yet. Looks interesting. I had a [...]

We picked up Dead or Alive 4 for the XBox 360 over the weekend, but playing it was thwarted because the disc was broken inside. It would boot up but very sluggishly and would only let you play a few rounds before freezing up.
Then the XBox decided that the disc was in fact a DVD [...]

My husband is sick. He’s been fighting tonsillitis on and off for over a week. He was getting better, but then this past week between the out of state visitors and work calling him in at 10 in the morning when he works nights and has barely had any sleep and the parade and having [...]

As you might be able to tell by previous posts of mine, in particular one right before this, we have a video game system, in fact we have several. We have a Playstation 2, a Nintendo Wii and an XBox 360. A lot of games that we have we don’t play around my son because [...]
