Special Events No Comments »

People around the world are going crazy about this phenomena today.  A lot of people planned their weddings for today.  I hope they are not thinking of having 7 babies.  Casinos are catching on with it.  As some people say, gambling is a numbers game.  Lucky Seven. 

Maybe I’ll try to buy a lottery ticket today.  7 14 21 28 35 49.  Hey!  We’ll find out tomorrow.

XBox 360 Warranty Extended by Microsoft

Video Games No Comments »

Did you experience this?  Armed with a popcorn or pizza, you turned on the XBox console only to see that dreaded light.  Three flashing red lights!  Aaaargh!  But in a write up today in Los Angeles Times, Microsoft stated that it had set aside more than $1 Billion to handle this nuisance. 

What this means?

1.  Microsoft knew that they made a ‘boo boo’ on the hardware design.
2.  The number of consoles that are affected are significant enough to make them extend the warranty.

To their credit, it takes a lot of pride to ’recognize’ that there is something wrong with the consoles and allow consumers to get their consoles fixed.  Setting aside $1 Billion is no joke, and I give them credit for making things better for their customer.  And they are known to get back the sympathy of their customers.

So I think I won’t see a lot of broken Xbox on sale at ebay for now.  Shucks!  If you get the 3 Red Light Syndrome, call Xbox Warranty Program at (800) 4-My-XBox.

It used to be just Blue Screen of Death, now 3 Red Lights!

Free Game Scripts

I was just browsing around and came across a game script site.  AVScripts.Net is offering a free download of their script.  However, if you want to remove any branding of AVScripts on your website, there is a cost.  I think it’s fair enough.
