So I sent EA back the guitar that they sent me. It was just so bad. The strum bar was a little sturdier, which I didn’t like because I prefer using a pick. Also, when my buddy Adam was using it for the while he was, he couldn’t activate the Star Power/Overddrive/whateva. He was convulsing and mimicking seizure victims just by trying to get the guitar to activate its…power-thing. But now my original guitar is working fine, and it’s great. The only thing now is the DLC is either hit or miss. And usually miss.

Episode 9 will (hopefully) be recorded this weekend in Colorado. I’ll be there for my days off from work, and I really have no other time to do it. Plus my bro will be there, and Jose’s in the UK selling merch. I think the show will be great though. Here’s the selling point: We’ll talk about porn stars. And to clarify, ‘female’ porn stars. I apologize to 12% of gamers out there.

 How To End A Show: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Just so you all know, Bluecast Episode 8 will be this Thursday. So get ready. Now after the holidays…and I mean immediately after, not much really happens. And to add to that, my Rock Band Guitar and Drum Set bit the dust. Luckily EA’s on top of that. But the show this week will have a ton of content. Jose has been on top of that.

That’s what she said.

I was listening to the GFW podcast which I believe to be truly amazing, and they keep talking about how great HL Episode 2 is. HL2 and EP1 was such a dud that I didn’t bother with this one. Now, I know a lot of you are currently en route to my house with torches and pitchforks, but hear me out - the game does a lot great. But it gets a bit tedious. It sounds like Episode 2 fixes that. I’ll let you know.

 Bluecast Ep 6 - End of the Year: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

I got Eye of Judgment from my lil’ bro and sis. I’ll be playing it tonight and post my impressions later. I also recently purchased Project Sylpheed which i think is a ton of fun, just not worth the initial price point. I’ll discuss that a little more on the next Bluecast.

And speaking of Bluecast, Episode 6 will be recorded Saturday morning, so expect it to be available by the afternoon. Just with the Holidays and all, we figured we’d wait a little bit (plus, it’s my only day off). We’ll talk about what we got for Christmas, and go over our anticipated titles in 08′.

Ever since the new Halo 3 maps came out I have been in Foundry with Forge making a lot of maps.

Here are some of the maps:

Shipment from COD4

House( this one took a long time) : There’s a big House.

The Dump : Just a big pile of scenery

SPB : Start in a tiny room and try to jump all the way up to go through a maze.  Then get on top of the room and kill your enemies, that are still at the bottom of the room, with fire grenades and setinal beams.

Heaven and Hell : The top has energy swords and plasma gernades.  The bottom has a flamethrower and fire gernades.

Asplode : A big open area with man cannons, gravity lifts, fusion coils, brute shots, mongooses(or mongeese) and all of the gernades.

Tower of Power
