Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix

Thanks again to our friends at the Microsoft Automotive team. I had the privilege to join them for this past weekends Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix . I have never attended an IRL, Le Mans Series or an SCCA SPEED World event so I got to experience all three at one location. And I have to say it was a...

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Demo

I have to say that it takes a lot to get me excited about a game title. But nothing has gotten my attention more recently than the upcoming release of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed . This has the potential to be one of the best Star Wars titles ever released. I have talked about it before ... but recently...

O Canada

Last week I traveled to Vancouver on business and as usual there is an interesting story from the trip. We initially flew into Vancouver to meet with Electronic Arts and various clients but we had also scheduled a meeting in Seattle (Roughly 2 hours away) so we jumped into the rental and drove towards...

Episodes of a Dad - Part 3 - Pikachu

I knew it was a matter of time until this day would come. I just did not think it would come this soon. I consider myself a decent gamer, 45,000+ gamerscore, but on this day my 6 year old son absolutely obliterated me on Super Smash Bros. Brawl on the Wii. It is not just today either. The domination...

Call of Duty 6

Activision has announced Call of Duty 6 will drop in 2009 and your favorite and mine Infinity Ward will be at the helm! This is interesting news as Call of Duty: World at War (aka Call of Duty 5) has yet to release and does not have a ship date. No word yet on what timeframe COD6 will take place in.

RROD Update

I posted earlier about the Red Ring of Death . Less than 24 hours after the issues started I have a brand new Xbox Elite back up and running. I had purchased the additional 2 year warranty from Best Buy when I originally bought the console. This has turned out to be a very good investment. I went to...

Red Ring of Death x 3

Well once again I am a victim of the dreaded Red Ring of Death . For those of you unfamiliar with the term it basically means that my Xbox 360 has fried.... again. This time my beloved Elite system froze in the middle of a Soul Calibur 4 session. Yoda was dominating for what it's worth... Then I restarted...

Apple Customer Service

I have been very satisfied with both generations of iPhones to date. But when there is a problem I have been even more impressed with Apples customer service. A few days ago I dropped my new 3G on the hard floor at work. I have dropped my iPhones (Previous and current) numerous times and the worst that...

Episodes of a Dad - Part 2 - Yellow Jackets

Today was our last day in Dallas before our vacation to Destin, Florida. You know, a day to get everything packed and ready for the fun in the sun to come. But today was one of those days that you could make a really funny movie out of or just break down in angst and defeat. When you have kids, you know...

Xbox Live Fall Update - E3

Today at E3 Microsoft previewed the upcoming fall Xbox Live update. And what changes there will be. The interface is obviously moving towards more of a Mac/Vista look and feel. Gamercards are still around as will your gamerscore, but my first question is what will happen to all of those 1000's of Microsoft...
