November 03 Xbox360 over PS3, so says Merill LynchIt is based on costs right now, and Microsoft has setup a machine that will win due to its lack of expensive nature. "The investment banker said Sony’s PS3 is an impressive machine, but the costly components inside could raise the price of a PS3 to around US$500 when it launches in the spring of 2006. By then, the Xbox 360 could be selling for US$249, Merrill Lynch estimated." You can read the article over at Macworld.com. July 11 Head to the new BlogI think I am just going to stay over there. Sorry guys. It has a little bit more over there and I am hoping for some .Text help, and from there I can do more. http://www.msmvps.com/glach Just add the RSS and you should be fine. July 08 AmazingI think Ive used amazing as a title to like 15 posts...but this is amazing. With all of these next-generation web services kicking about, we felt it only fitting that we should really push the boat out with PGR3 Xbox Live functionality. You've already been told about Gotham TV, the television style broadcast service which turns Gotham racing into a real sport. You'll be able to watch your friend's race as if you were watching motor sport on TV - yes, you can choose which of your friends you want to watch, whenever they're online! You can also tune in to watch world-famous "Gotham Heroes" (the world's best players) live as they race. Gotham TV also takes the most exciting events in the PGR3 universe, and creates "Highlights", so you can stay up to date without ever putting down the controller. New BlogSo, I have a new blog right now. http://www.msmvps.com/glach As of right now, it is in its "Beta" stage. heh. I will be posting most of it here, but when I get .Text working like I want (maybe the theme...maybe a custom theme..hmmm.) then I'll probably do most of the posting over there. But head over and tell me what ya think. July 07 Great SessionHey guys, thanks for the great session last night. It was fun playig with the "new guys" (atleast to the group). Thanks again for all the fun games. My best game We played a game called "Tower". You have 2 teams, and they fight for the "Tower" in Ascension. The Tower has a turret. You job is to control the turret and get to 100 kills. Only shotguns, no shields or grenades. It makes for a fun game. July 06 Bungie did a great JobNow, for all the BS I give bungie (laziness, cheating, glitches, etc) I must say, their levels look AMAZING. I also give them credit for converting a MAC-destined game from 2000 to what it was 1.5 years later as Halo: Combat Evolved. What Halo-2000 looks like...was weak man, the voice acting UGGGHH, the Halo:CE and H2 is SO MUCH better. I think this gives you a good idea if you want another voice actor for the Halo movie. Personally I want it to stay the same man. My LSCs new, ugly websitewww.metroswimming.org It is disgustingly ugly. That is all I have to say, that and it is cramped with TOO MUCH. Initial Response to my new MouseIt is freakin amazing. It is a remote...you can raise/lower volume, next track/previous track, next webpage/previous (foward/black). It has a scroll wheel (+ click) and a TILT WHEEL. Best part...you can program it to launch the MCE media program. IT IS AMAZING. I shodl also mention it is pretty nicly shaped to my hand. And I just noticed I need to get a good digital camera b/c this HP one STINKS. <edit> Im an idiot meant to put the really pathetic-quality pictures that my HP stinker takes</edit> Thanks everyoneThanks everyone who nominated me for the MVP Award. I really, truly appreciate it. Thanks again. Ordering ProblemSo, I ordered something from a store and I got it for my brother and my friend. But the day after I ordered it, I figured...well, my friend has something like this already and I only have a $150 card to this store. So I canceled the order. NOW, I check my email yesterday, and they tell me both are shipped and I am down to $120 on my card. NOW, I have to call to cancel and straighten this out. Bummer. "IT" RevealedI am an Xbox.com MVP. There you have it...I had to keep it on the "low-down " for a while, but at the forums you can see it, so I can announce it. So I am Pissed!I went to 2 EB Games today (in the same mall) to pick up the H2 map Pack (have 2 xboxes to load it on)...and I find out that they will have it tomorrow! WTF is that about? Australia has it for 1 week already. Bungie DELAYED them a week and said the actual maps were done, but it was up to maufacturing now...for them to NOT HAVE THEM on their "release date" is unacceptable. July 05 The race is near the endCMON NYC 2012!!!!! I am really hoping that NYC gets this. I am a American, a New Yokrer (not NYC though). But I want to see this happen. I want to see the best athelets my country and the world can provide, for those 2 weeks. Vote is Tomorrow (7/6/2005). Hosting somewhere else?Well, with my opportunity "IT", I may be able to host a blog elsewhere. I think it will lead to more customization, which I will be a fan of. I can't divulge the location just yet (I want to wait for the announcement for everyelse to hear what "IT" is), but if anyone that is part of "IT", wants to know the site, just IM me. Or post here. Modifier ChargedSo this 22 year old Brit, decided he wanted to mod Xbox's. Well, he got caught and was convicted and sentenced to 140 hours of community service. I think the biggest offense (which should have made the sentence larger) was that he sold it with a HDD that had 80 games!!! Talk aobut piracy, that is $4,000 worth of games (if new). We have people here in the states getting sued for like $10,000 for downloading like $200 worth of songs (illegally). This just adds to the defenese of the mods when they block/lock people from posting how to mod their 'boxes. Linkage SI's 50 richest sports peoplefrom america.
The list is crazy...one would think they dont need all this money AGAIN.
That is crazy. We have people do ALOT more important jobs than playing sports that make 1% of what they make, man. Don't get me wrong, if I was in their situation, I would want to have all that too.
Serena Williams is the top American women (#2 in the world to Sharapova) with 22+ mil/year. Michael Schumacher would actually be #2 behind Tiger Woods with a wopiing $81 million ($28 million alone is from Ferrari). And Valentino Rossi would be 14th with $24.5 mil/year. Based on what HE has done this year, he should havce Schumachers salary. Rossi has won 6 out of 7 (5 straight) races this year, in Yamaha's 50th year. RIght now, with his 63 point lead, he can not finish 3 races, and still have a lead. Also, he can come in 2nd for EVERY race for the next 10 (or 9) races, and if Melandri wins all of them, Rossi will still WIN the champioship by 10 points. Hows that for crazy. July 04 Happy 4th of JulyHappy 4th of July everyone, (and a late Happy Canada day). I am now off to work (big bummer). |
