It seems that M$ has had their new firmware for the 360 leaked... already, as well as running on modded consoles. There has been no word if this will get you banned or what not, but its out there in the wild if you search hard enough.

I am guessing that since this has been leaked there will be some word from M$ very soon... and this may even end up making them release more features for it so they can get one over on the people already using it... I wouldnt imagine they wouldnt want their "following the rules" types to be missing out for no reason.

Just a quick heads up for people that have heard this rumble with no proof.

Im bringing sexy back.

Following a post on dtoid c-blogs by Manta, I found out that the people that signed up for the Resistance 2 beta had gotten an email... a cryptic email. Reading through the email I noticed "Project Abraham" mentioned and decided to have a look around.

Before you guys head to the site to check it out, I wanted to let you know of some of the things I noticed. When you go to the site (after the 4 intro videos) you can click on the patients pictures and read about their troubles and what not. While I was in one of their "folders" I noticed I could click around and move the photos, letters and cards inside that folder. I thought it was a nice find and pretty innovative.

I am sorry if this is old news, just something I found out and thought I would share with everyone.

UPDATE-

I have also seemed to have stumbled on to ANOTHER website to do with this whole thing... I am not sure if any of this leads anywhere but here it is -

So there is the new dashboard for the xbox 360... I think it looks nice dont you think?

Its just that I have a small problem with it, it looks way to much like XBMC (homebrew app) for the XBOX 1. From the game covers to RSS styled feeds... not to mention it also plays "streaming tv"... all before they ever had the idea to do so. Then we have the "Mii" look alikes as well. I guess they are just trying to grab the attention of all markets, and I dont see anything wrong with that... thats the point isnt it?

But back to my point, this isnt the first time I have seen them rip off other peoples independent work on homebrew apps/games.

Lets move on....

Halo wars.. an XBOX exclusive, THEIR idea to make an RTS out of Halo right? Wrong...
Once again.. ripped off homebrew. This was a game being made by a team of homebrew devs using Halo 2. Take a look here... seen in "Halogen" for the XBOX (remember this is running on Halo 2) sporting a total conversion of Halo.



Looks like Halo Wars right? Just in case you haven't seen Halo Wars here is a small gameplay clip.



I dont know... they seem to get a kick out of it. I remember when Halogen was about 95% complete... MS finally stepped in and ordered them to stop working on it, which is fine.. it was their code, their game being modded. Then... months later.. Halo Wars was announced. Funny how things work... from playing games on the HDD, RSS Feeds, Dashboards, Games... (most of their new announcements) I would say over 70% of it was taken from the homebrew scene of XBOX 1... I wonder how many more things they can call their own.

Yesterday (July 4th) at 7:22pm my Daughter Kaida Mai was born... I am so happy and filled with love over this blessing I had to share the news with you guys.

To everyone who already knew what was going on in my life and said congrats, thank you... it means a lot to me.
