The joys of the Shadowrun beta test
The initial community of beta testers was rock solid. Everyone was very vocal, mature, and articulate.
And then the flood gates were opened to a ton of other testers. Let's hope this guy takes the "fall" soon. What he was doing in-game to me was worse.
I've uploaded some of my carnage reports to my Flickr account.
XBOX Live Vision Camera for 360 Review
I swung by Wal-Mart on the way home hoping to find the XBOX Live Vision Camera accessory for my XBOX 360. Target didn’t have any in stock the day before. Sure enough, WallyWorld had at least four for $39. The kit came with an extra headset, 1-month of XBOX Live Gold (claim code), and UNO (claim code). I added the 1-month to my existing XBOX Live Gold Membership. I’m currently good through Jan 2008. I headed home to check this thing out.
Hooking up the USB camera was easy. I just plugged the camera into one of the front USB ports on the XBOX 360 and I was ready to go. No installation. No setup was necessary. This camera will also work with Windows XP and Windows Vista.
Texas Hold 'Em and the Tens of Clubs
Some weird stuff happened today in Texas Hold 'Em for XBOX Live Arcade. I was delt a pair of 10 of clubs several times in a row. Read: I had two 10's of clubs in my pocket. Not only that, but twice I was delt only one card and it was...guess what...the 10 of clubs.
In all, it was a terrible gaming experience for me. I waited near 35 minutes to play the game and I never got to play. I joined up and had to wait 7 hands before I could play. At a full table with people making a lot of bets, this took 15-20 minutes before I was even allowed to play. With one hand left to go before I could play, someone quit out. This, for some reason, set me back. I now had to wait 3 more hands.
