Xbox Live Vision: WHY THE FUCK DID I BUY THIS?
bmaupin | 8:52 PM on 07.17.2007 7 comments


Why the FUCK did Microsoft put out a camera for the 360? I can play UNO on it and I can put my face in Rainbow Six 3. Why don't you assrape the casual gamers like Nintendo and push this thing like no tomorrow? At least get developers to use the face mapping more, like you could with the EyeToy back on PS2.

I can't even use this dumb thing on my PC because Microsoft's drivers are hopelessly borken beyond repair.

I fling it on the floor in disgust of a perfectly good waste of technology.

The End.

MLB 2K7 patch fixes bugs, breaks game
bmaupin | 2:54 AM on 06.30.2007 0 comments




I'm an MLB 2K7 addict, I'll admit it. You can check my 360's Blog and see for yourself how shameful I am (thank God my hours logged on the Shadowrun demo don't show up).

So yesterday 2K Sports releases a patch to fix various things including the horrible fielding camera. Kudos to them, because 2K is terrible about not fixing ANYTHING until the next year's game (call it, gorilla marketing). But low and behold, this so called "patch" is more like a semi-truck running over your game disc as it actually BREAKS the game to the point where it's unplayable.

Okay, so it's not UNPLAYABLE, but every single save file comes up as "Damaged" from now on. This is particularly a punch in the face if you were in the middle of a season, franchise or a GM Career. I don't remember shaking my 360's hard drive or attaching my magnetic Trollz to it, so what gives?

I'll give 2K Sports a few days to figure it out, but it's not fixed within a week or so, I'll be inquiring about a refund, get rejected, fume here again, cool off and eventually throw it away and hold a grade-school grudge.

Nintendo, Sony admit to being huge pansies
bmaupin | 11:10 PM on 06.20.2007 3 comments


I can't believe that Sony and Nintendo have come out AGAINST a game. Seriously, you're denying something that your system THRIVES on, a game, from reaching retail.

Not that they'd reach retail ANYWAY because we have these shit-headed stores that will sell unrated DVD's but NOT a RATED video game.

But that's okay because it's a MOVIE and MOVIES are good while GAMES are BAD.

WHO FAILS IT? Nintendo. Sony. Retailers.
