Xbox Live Hates GENACON!
GENACON | 11:01 AM on 10.26.2007 8 comments


Alas its true.
Here's the story.

Today i opened up the box to my Halo Edition Xbox 360 that i bought 3 weeks ago.
It took me 3 weeks to do this because i work 6 nights a week and don't have a lot of time.
So i got the night off and thought that this would be a great time to get a few hours of gaming in.

Who knew i would be so wrong.

I connected everything up and made an offline gamertag. So far so good.
I connected to the internet and tried to go live, and while i can connect i can't use the name GENACON.


So i thought i would try the xbox.com site and have a go there.
Signed in to my live account, and tried using GENACON again.




I've tried genacon, Genacon, And anything with genacon in the name.

Anyone have any ideas as to what the problem is here?
Because I'm all out of beer and need to sleep.

Zelda, Collectables And You.
GENACON | 10:31 PM on 10.11.2007 6 comments


And by you, I mean me.

So i went to my local Westfield Shopping Centre yesterday to have a look around and to spend wads of cash.
I also went there to pickup my pre-order of Zelda : Phantom Hourglass.

I haven't played it yet, but i'm sure i'll find the time on the weekend.

The Zelda hard case looks great too, nice and tough. I don't think i'll open it
Because it's inside that hard plastic that you can never, NEVER get open...

After collecting my treasure form EB i then headed into a store called target.
In there i found a Zelda Mini classic for only $10. Awesome...





So if you want one go visit your local target to see if they have any.

The thing with the zelda mini classic is, should i open it?

Anyone else have a mini classic?

"Genacon, to be honest, looks a bit like a rapist."

"Genacon, to be honest, looks a bit like a rapist."

Today is a special day, It's Monday and its 5am here in Australia.
But it's also my first blog post. After months of not having anything to blog about
I finally found something.

The above quote is from a website called Rock, Paper, Shotgun.
They blogged about the dress like Big Daddy competition and commented on a few of the entries.

The comment about me made me laugh as the costume kinda does look like something a rapist would wear, I guess...
I found an old pair of work jeans i had and boots to match, and a thick jacket too.
See.


And to add to things, when i logged onto Dtoid today i see this.

So not only am i a rapist, I'll stab the bitch too.
Oh dear.

Well with all that said, I'm no longer a blog virgin, And neither is my next victim.

Also, Rape. Is never funny.

 about me



I am GENACON. :D
Also, my name is Michael. I'm 24 and live in Sydney, Australia.
When I'm not working, sleeping, and spending time with my mates, I tend to get a few gaming hours in.

I like to build things and make stuff. Go here to see photos of what i have made.
I also like anything samurai related and really like Japanese Swords.
I have made a few swords of my own over the last few years and am about ready to make a new one.
