Xbox LIVE

Hi everybody, I'm here with another Xbox LIVE thing. My complimentary card ran out, so I bought a full year. I love playing Halo 3 now, and it is the only game I play/can play on Xbox LIVE. Again, feel free to friend me. Well, I'm done, here are some pretty pictures.

Halo 3 Limited Edition


Hey everybody, I'd like to tell y'all about Halo 3 Limited Edition. In case you don't know what it is, it is Halo 3 with an extra disc, a book explaining about the covenant, and a user manual with a different cover (I think). The story of how I got this Halo 3: Limited Edition. I went to Gamestop in the St.Louis Galleria and bought the regular version of Halo 3 for about $20. It didn't work, so that evening I went back and exchanged it, but the guy at the counter gave me a limited edition of Halo 3, saying that it had some bonuses. It turned out to work fully, and it had many more features. I gladly took it and I guess that was all the store had, that they were sure worked perfectly. Needless to say, thanks random guy at the desk. Today, I felt like I should write this because I beat the campaign on normal, right before I went to church. I have watched many YouTube videos about it, and it didn't seem very hard to do as they said. If you look at my gamertag and service record, you will see that I just got EVA armor. I am also waiting for getting the Hayabusa Armor since I know how to get all the skulls. IWHBYD still didn't work for me today however. Nevertheless, I will triumph someday! I think I am more likely to get Recon Armor before Hayabusa or any of the other armors.
Here is a video that demonstrates how easy the level is

Playing Halo for Haiti


Hi everyone, I'm sure you saw what was going on from Wednesday (1/20/2010) to Thursday (1/21/2010). Bungie was being their usually nice self, and said that they would like to help Haiti, which I am sure you heard is in big trouble. After the big earthquake hit (somewhere in the 6-8 range), Bungie said that if you play Halo 3 multiplayer (ODST counts too), you can earn money for Haiti. All you had to do was change the emblem on your armor to have a red heart with a white circle background and play! For every 1,000 players, Bungie donated $100.00 to Haiti. Bungie earned over $100,000! Their maximum was set to be $77,000, but they said "we didn’t quite reach the lofty goal we set for ourselves." I think they did very well personally. If you participated, congrats. It was a great excuse to play Halo! By the way, many just assumed that it was matchmaking that earned money, but anything over Xbox Live (excluding campaign) counted! If any of you would like to friend me on Xbox Live, my gamertag is SocksWoHoles. I probably won't accept you though.
Totally off topic here, but if you don't have one yet, you should get a Bungie.net account. When playing Halo 3, you also get a cool septagon by your name.

Red Faction:Guerilla

MY XBOX CAME BACK ON THURSDAY WITH ONE MONTH OF XBOX LIVE!!!!
just thought I'd let u know.
If you would like to friend me, go ahead, just leave a message saying why u friended me.

Hi, I've recently been looking at this game called Red Faction:Guerrilla. I don't know if it is any good or not, no one has really said. No videos today, sadly, because I'm using my church computer and it sucks!. Red Faction is like Just Cause 2, Mercenaries 2, GTA IV, and all other sorts of sandbox games. My mom keeps asking why I need another shooting game, or sandbox game, and they are all different. A note to all of you moms out there. Sadly, they are all getting the same. In my Just Cause 2 post, I noted that the plots between Mercenaries 2, and Just Cause 2 are identical! Today, I am shamed to tell you, Red Faction:Guerrilla's is too. All the plots are about people you worked for (in GTA IV are related to) betrayed you and now you want to kill them. Note that GTA IV is just that the brother lied and to what I know, isn't really important in the game anymore. Not like Niko is trying to kill his bro or anything. If I ever get Red Faction:Guerrilla, I'll be sure to let you know about the game play! Notice that I will say nothing about the same old stale plot that keeps being used.

Stupid Ad(s) 2

Hey, it looks like I can post ads in my blog! I was trying to do another stupid ads thing, but lookie here! Anyway, look at the Madden ad (if it's still there by the time you look at this.). Anyway it looks like this:

Madden NFL 10(r) Football
If you don't have Fun PLAYING THIS GAME, You're not a football fan.

Thanks for saying the obvious, creepy internet guy with the ad! Sorry for all you sports fans, but I hate sports. If you will not kill me, this ad is so obvious. Well, bye!


RRODs

Hello, I would like to tell you guys that my Xbox 360 broke down on Christmas Eve. I was playing Mercenaries 2, trying to beat the darn game (even with cheats!) and it broke. The Xbox froze a few times and it had a little checkered pattern on the screen. Then, of course, the 3 rings of death showed up and ruined my Xbox. I have sent it in and it shipped today. So, come back soon! Today, I also uploaded some very old videos on my youtube, Schmintendo, and they are Mercs 2 vids. Ironically, I got Need For Speed Pro Street from the library that day, so I couldn't play it.

1 vs. 100 Free

Hello everyone, I'm sure you have heard about the 1 vs. 100 thing on Xbox LIVE. Now, like everything else, the 1 vs. 100 thing is only avalible for Xbox LIVE Gold Members. Now, starting tomorrow and going until the 28th (advertising for the holidays), it is going to be free for silver members of Xbox LIVE. Since everyone is supposed to be getting Xbox 360s for Christmas according to Microsoft, people should be doing something for the family. I might do it, as you see that I have a silver account. Just mentioning, I don't have a PS3.

Here's the arcticle

Quotes for no plagarism!

" Microsoft is giving the first hit out for free this weekend, making 1 vs 100 free for all Xbox Live users from December 24-28.Microsoft knows how Christmas is going to play out across the globe for the many new Xbox owners set to receive an Xbox 360 this weekend. Many of them may not have an Xbox Live subscription as a top priority. Others probably will be showing their cool new console to family members that may not dig the likes of Assassin's Creed 2 or Modern Warfare 2. With the family-friendly 1 vs. 100 being offered to all internet-connected Xbox 360s this weekend, the company may have found a hook to snag many new Gold members during the holidays.

Announced earlier today on Major Nelson's blog, the online game show 1 vs 100 will be free to Xbox Live Silver and Gold members alike starting at 9AM on December 24, with the grace period extending to 9AM on December 28th. With many live shows set to air during that weekend--particularly a holiday-themed set on the day after Christmas--Xbox Live Silver members will get a pretty hefty dose of one of the Xbox 360's secret weapons.

Any current Silver members planning on taking in a round or two of 1 vs 100 this weekend? It's surprisingly addictive!"
