How to fix xBox 360’s Red Ring of Death (NO TOWELIE)


Found this in I-Hacked about how to fix it…

It’s explained there so no need to explain it here since I’m not an xBox 360 guy and totally unexperienced in such field…

Anyways, hope this helps alot of people who actually got RRODed

Old computer games…


I found this website that got old computer games… I’ve known this website for around 7 years and totally forgot about it…

You can download some (if not most) of the games you find in there, but you have to do it one at a time…

Here’s the link and hope you enjoy.



Woman failure attempt to kidnap her “Second Life” boy friend


A 33 years old woman traveled from Carolina to Delaware to kidnap a 50 something years old man…

I don’t know how the game runs and reading the article is abit of confusing… So I’ll leave you a link to it

Then again, I’d like to quote something:

“Video games don’t make people more violent, and I’ll kill anyone who disagrees.” Spoke the Gord

Stuff a Guitar Hero DS in a Guitar Hero guitar controller!!


Now Guitar Hero has a Nintendo DS version, it’s annoying to actually attach that special thingy to your DS and start playing… So someone in Hackaday Stuffed it in a guitar controller…

And here’s a video demonstrating someone playing with this creative hack…


Y’know… No matter how hard you play this game and how good you become in it, that wouldn’t mean you are an actual guitar player neither you would turn to a good one…

And remember… I wrote (wouldn’t) not (won’t)…

Anyways… Here’s the Hackaday link.



How to punish a gamer…


Found this at GamePolitics… And I’d actually do the same to my kids if they misbehave…

Basically the guy’s kids didn’t behave properly while playing xBox… So he literally nailed it to a tree as you can see in the picture above…

Harsh, but a masterpiece… I wonder if he’d do the same if it was xBox360 or PS3…

Team Fortress 2 Review


Again, I’m not supposed to do such thing… But I have to…

I don’t play much online video games neither video games (though I used to play video games like crazy)… But I’ve been wasting my life playing only one game, Counter-Strike: Source… Not because its the best game (duuuh its not)… Its just because I bought it looooong time ago and felt like playing to make use of the 20KDs I spent at Virgin Mega Store (Back when it was Mega)…

My friend “eLeeT” usually annoys by telling me how Team Fortress 2 is awesome and fun. I know for a fact it is a fun game but I was giving the “meh” attitude since I’m more into Counter-Strike: Source’s seriousity…

So I’ve downloaded the trailers… And met almost every class in the game (As in the characters you choose… Videos made by the team) and got abit of more interested…

Then again I felt like trying EVE ONLINE and it was fun so I decided to actually start playing EVE… Got little extra cash and thought of wasting’em… So “eLeeT” suggested again that I should buy Team Fortress 2 because its only $19.99… So what the hell… I did…

Here’s the thing, I DID NEVER LAUGH AT AN ONLINE GAME AS MUCH AS THIS GAME MADE ME LAUGH!!!

The game is based on having fun to play with the cartoonish design and all while drawing a big fat stupid smile on your face instead of burning and sitting on your nerves just because someone stabbed you with a knife in Counter-Strike: Source…

Anyways, the game is about 2 teams; Red vs Blue (The endless battle)… Players can choose one of the following classes: Pyro, Engineer, Sniper, Spy, Heavy, Demoman, Medic, Scout and Soldier (in order according to the picture above)…

Pyro:
He (I assume Pyro is a He) never talk because he’s wearing a gas mask… But you can hear an similar cry to “MEDIC” when he cries for a medic… That bastard is biiiig jerk in close range combat because if he got you in a corner, you’re a goner… Weak in long range… Has a Flame Thrower, a Shot Gun and a Fire-Fighter Axe… He has a taunt which he throws a Fire Hadoken with instant kill if it get ya! GOD I LOVE THIS BASTARD!!! HE’S SO ABUSIVE!!!

Engineer:
He builds Sentry Guns, Despensers (Where you recharge your health and other stuff) and Teleports… His Sentry guns are in 3 levels, you upgrade’em by beating the crap outta that sentry gun with his wrench… So does fixing it… His weapons are a Shot Gun, Hand Gun, a Wrench, Building Box, and a Remote Thingy that blows whatever he built… Just place a Sentry Gun in a good location, Teleports to fasten the process of respawning and a Despenser to refill whenever you need health and ammo… AND BEWARE OF HIS WRENCH… ITS A KILLER!!!

Sniper:
That British bastard is a butt-kicker in long range and kinda sucks in close range… His critical shot is when you zoom in and wait till the shazam thingy on the scope tops up… Instant kill… Though headshots are killers too (But Heavy won’t die from a normal headshot… I assume his brain is so small because his skull is SO DAMN THICK!)… The thing I love in this guy is when you actually shoot someone (Even if you’re lagging), the game takes your shot not the oponent’s dodge… I always turn to this guy whenever I need to pick some heads from far distance…

Spy:
He’s also British… He has the ability to cloak himself so no one could see him… He has the ability to actually disguise himself as one of the opponents (Funny thing I once saw a teammate holding my NAME… I got freeked out for a minute then I realized he’s hittable… A SPY)… And the thing that cracked my jaw laughing was when your spy disguise as an opponent, you can see a paper mask on the spy’s face with the class he’s disguising as… He has a revolver, butterfly knife and a disguising pack… I HATE HIM WITH PASSION!!!

Heavy:
He has russian accent (I assume)… A giant big huge pieces of of muscles and bones stitched together which made this guy… His Sasha (His BFG… Big Fu***** Gun) shoots 300 rounds, A shot gun and his Fists… You cant damage him as fast as others… He’s slow like a snail… Funny like crazy (Specially when Pyro burns him… He yells like “MY FLESH!!! IT BURNS!!!”) and his gun is so abusive that its fun when you play being Heavy in small maps…

Demoman:
A Black Scotish who’s really abusive in bombs…You can set traps by launching his secondary weapon that shoots sticky bombs… His weapons are Bomb Launcher (Or Grenade Launcher), Sticky Bomb Launcher and that big bottle of alcohol… I laugh whenever he kills someone and yells “Ooooh they have to glue you back together, IN HELL!!”… I hate it when someone actually picks him and start spamming our respawn spot with sticky and dropping bombs from a window or something…

Medic:
A German medic guy… Who shoots needles and actually takes HP from his opponents while shooting at’em if he hit’em… His other weapon is the Health thingy that I don’t know its name but I’d like to call it “The Uber Thingy”… You can recharge your friends’ health using it… And you can keep on charging that “Uber Charge” till you reach a stage that your health almost doesn’t decrease… His Medical Saw is deadly too… Becareful everyone!!

Scout:
A fast grasshopper with double jumps… He’s affective in short range… His Shot Gun spreads like crazy thats why his Hand Gun picks up the long range combats… His annoying weapon is his Baseball Iron Bat… Specially when he yells the *BOINK* sound… I used to like him, but he sucks… Yet he’s good at capturing points, flags and whatever…

Soldier:
A war maniac!! His Bazooka (Rocket launcher… I like to call it Bazooka… The ol’ Police Academy way) hurts alot but is so slow… So shoot it when your opponent isn’t looking, time it to hit someone or just shoot his ground… He has this jump thingy that makes him jump so high (I still don’t know how to do that)… His reload is annoying, only 4 rockets… His secondary weapon is our beloved Shot Gun… And he hit opponents in real close range with a SHOVEL!!! He takes good damage, he’s fun to play as, but abit of slow…

The reason I reviewed this game is to find a hope in whoever reads this to actually play this game… QualityNet used to have a Team Fortress 2 server that its down because no one plays…

Anywhooooo… Here’s a link to the game.



XBox360 beats PS3 weekly sales in Japan!!!


This is disturbing (well for me… I know its a good thing for alot of XBox360 fans)

http://misfitlove.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/xbox-360-vs-ps3.jpg

http://misfitlove.files.wordpress.com/2008/02/xbox-360-vs-ps3.jpg

For some reason, XBox360 had more weekly sales than PS3 two weeks ago by selling 28,116 units of the Xbox360 in the week ended August 10, while PS3 sold 10,705 units of the PS3, driven by the August 7… Thats an over kill…

But hey, Nintendo Wii still beats the crap outta both of’em by selling 41,044 units dated at August 14.

I’m not filling in alot of details, so Click here to visit the REUTERS article.



XBox 360 Rapid Fire Mod!!


btop from Instructables made this little XBox 360 controller hack which is kinda interesting.

This will save you from the botton mashing thingies and stuff… But might not save you from banning your XBox 360 for hacking =P… I hold no responsibility if someone actually applied this hack… I’m just sharing for whoever is curious to see how it’s done

Here’s the instructable link



Online games are in Malware risks!


A report from ESET (The NOD32 guys) mentioned that most malwares were targeting online games…

So for those who already addicted WoW and Lineage… Becareful… One day you’d log in and you’d see your player “naked” with no equipment or whatever… So much for paying real money for some virtual equipments…

Which reminds me of my friend who faced something similar because of a keylogger installed in his favorite gamenetwork place (Dungeon)…

EVE Online review


I know I shouldn’t be doing something similar… But I must…

EVE Online… A space simulation game that I started to love… Much more complicated than Microsoft’s Freelancer yet so much fun to play… AMAZING GRAPHICS… Boring jukebox… But you can always run your media player and listen to your own songs…

This game is almost automated… You don’t need to control the ship much because even when you’re fighting, all you have to do is lock, keep in gun range and click on the gun icon(s) to shoot… Same goes with mining… You can just keep it in a desired range or you can orbit around it in a desired range…

To go to a desired place is annoying… I’m having hard time going to a spot I have in mind or I want to go… If I’m in a mission, i need to right click on the space and warp to location or set destination (which means its few systems ahead)

The interesting thing is the skills… Unlike Freelancer, you can’t use weapons, use equipments, do researchs, do ship upgrades, ride ships and other stuff unless you fulfill the required skills needed… Gives the game the wonderful pain in the butt… Specially when learning a skill, it takes from minutes to DAYS!!!… The good thing is that if your skill takes 6 hours, you can log off and come back in 6 hours and skill would be learned…

You can as well form corporates (something like a guild), buy destroyers and battleships (you can’t do such thing in Freelancer), shoot other players (just becareful not to pick on the wrong ones), do researchs, build stuff from blueprints and alot of stuff that I haven’t figured out yet…

The ONLY thing that I didn’t like in this game is that you have to pay around $15… I can bare with it… its like 4KD if not less… It’s what you pay for WoW, FFXI and other MMORPG accounts…

The amazing things are, it works under Steam and it has a MAC version (I’m an anti-MAC but that really surprised me).

I’m sure not alot of people likes Space Simulation games… But hey, you have 14-days trail… Give it a shot then complain =P (Which is what I’m doing right now)
