Introducing the official Gears of War 2 controller

I was bored. Not my best, but not the worst, either.

Finally! Gears of War 2 title update rolls out

gears2titleupdate

It's about time they addressed this nonsense, considering Gears of War 2 has sold over 4 million copies now, they pushed DLC onto us very early on, and the online play has been just plain broken. Over at the official forums, Rod Fergusson dropped in to inform us of the changes this new title update brings. When I glanced over the long list, it looked like pretty much everything anyone had an issue with has been fixed. So now, as best as I can tell, the only problem you have to look out for online is host dropping. I'm sure that's still going to happen quite a bit. Oh well, at least there's no more kung fu flips and shield glitching. Hooray for being able to play again!

Projector in the house

It finally arrived today (read here) and I'm spinning in my chair with excitement. I have a lot to do before I can actually use the thing, like taking off a shelf I have on the wall I'll be using, as well as sanding that wall down and painting the screen on it. I'll be sure to take pictures of the process, because maybe someone will be interested in that or I'll want to look back at how I did some time in the future. Man, I can't wait until I'm playing Gears on a 80-inch screen.

In love with my Zune 120

So now that I've actually got some music, pictures and movies on this thing, as well as a nice case that actually covers the screen. I took a couple of pictures, which you can check out by clicking on any of the thumbnails below.
