About Me


I'm 23 and live in Western Massachusetts, USA and like Video Games, but more than that I like consumer electronics, including and especially focused on cool things I can carry on my person.

Systems I own:
PlayStation 2
PlayStation 3 80GB
PSP model #1000
Nintendo Wii
Nintendo DS Lite
Gameboy Micro


Favorite Game(s):
Metal Gear Series!

Currently Playing:
Little Big Planet
Metal Gear Online
Pixel Junk Eden
Super Mario Galaxy
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops


I do marketing for a manufacturing company who makes watertight/airtight enclosures for the US military to put all of their expensive stuff in. i.e guns, missile components, aircraft parts. pretty damn neat. needless to say all of my gaming peripherals are soundly protected by mil-spec cases now.

Hobbies: Drawing, Gaming, Carving, Hiking, Camping, Fishing, Mountain Biking, Climbing (ice and rock), Kayaking, Skim Boarding, Shooting, and pretty much anything else that ends in -ing that takes place outside.


Likes: Dogs, Weapons, Video Games, My Girlfriend, My Girlfriend's Dog, Food, Cooking, Good Water, Gadgets, Things with LCD screens, Watches, Whiskey, Beer, Specialty stores, Internet shopping, and Jackets. Seriously...I have a problem. I have more coats and Jackets than my girlfriend has shoes and purses combined.

Dislikes: Hippies, Unorganized things, dead batteries, Tomatoes, City Water, mice without scroll wheels, the original Xbox controller, mosquitoes & black flies (in that order), Wal-Mart (even though I can't afford not to go), and Sweating because of heat and not physical expenditure.

XNA Game Studio Comes to the Zune! Now With Photos!
Lavallee017 | 1:48 PM on 02.20.2008 9 comments




Announced today Microsoft has enabled all Zune owners to simultaneously crap themselves in excitement. The XNA Game Studio will be made available to the Zune starting with Zauri and Hexic both which feature MP3 support so you can trick out your own soundtrack while PEW PEW ing and puzzling away.

The Zune's hyper responsive Squirqle should make for some pretty intuitive gameplay on the device. with that big beautiful screen its only a matter of time before more games start popping up on Zune Marketplace and seamless integration of XBLA and the Zune comes to reality.

Makes me wonder what is to come of the Zune 3?

Will it work with the older models or just the new ones?

@ Def JM

The release stated "Zune Compatibility" and since the hardware is basically the same it should work with the 30 GB but some games might be easier to play than others on the new touch display. I would expect full compatibility for the first launch. Hexic for example does not need a touch function whatsoever. it plays fine with the D-Pad on the 360

Not sure yet, this was just released in the Microsoft Keynote today so more details are to come. I will post a response to this Blog in the event I get the information before Dtoid main page does. I will be checking XBLA and Zune Marketplace regularly to find out
