About Me
NEW! AND IMPROVED! NOW With relevant information!

Tony's the name, and i can game. Or i also go by Anthony and on the net as Antwhan.

Catch me and my semi-frequent ramblings on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/Antwhan

I make movies and am trying to break into the film industry. Maybe one day I'll be able to adapt a game or an anime for that matter to film successfully. Who knows.

I'm attempting to become involved w/ the d-toid community more. because it's such an awesome one. and also working on College stuff here @ Penn State.


First system i ever had was a Genesis, which i still play Sonic 2 on once in a while. But the PS1 is gathering dust w/ the ddr pads for it. The GameBoy Color was the first system that I played nonstop, Specifically Pokemon Red, Tetris, and Kirby's Dream Land 2.

Currently Rocking a 360 and a Wii, and some PC games that run on Mac, because I needed the Mac for my film major here at college.

I enjoy a good rpg and platformers, and arcade style racing/sports games. Also have been caught playing Shooters of the First and Third Person Variety.

Thanks for reading this you you did, and Rock On! I hope to meet fellow D-Toiders in the future somewhere in person.

Short Blog: 360 D-Pad Modding, Which way is best?
Antwhan | 12:30 AM on 09.30.2009 4 comments


Ok so i'm planning on trying to fix the d-pad on 360's controller this weekend when i get ahold of security bits to open it up. However, I'm not sure about the best way to go about it. I've heard of sanding down parts, adding washers under the pad, installing other d-pads, and some other methods.

I'm curious to see if there's anyone out there that has done such things and if so recommends any one method over any other. I'm looking for the most hassle free way, preferably one without solder as i don't have access to such things.

I have literally no knowledge on the subject, but I couldn't imagine it not involving a soldering iron.

Also, Google it or something. Cblogs =/= Yahoo Answers ;)
