XBox Pure: What A Joke!
Rumors on yet another remodeled Xbox 360 were finding it's way on the internets. First, I read the news on Gizmodo. Here's the "proof":
As I analyzed that image, I thought to myself "Ha ha! It's so easy to create a document and stamp "mole juice" on it. The text doesn't seem at all legit.". My suspicion was correct. After losing the article in the Gizmodo feed, I googled "XBOX pure" and BANG! Giz updated their article with the following:
UPDATE: It appears that we were mislead by Cheap Ass Gamer as part of a prank contest. Running fabrications like this one does not help a site's credibility.
Ha ha! Sorry Giz. You were caught GOOD...darn good.
Braid and Her Music
I thank God for my wonderful best friend and open-minded gamer Lethal Tactixx who has introduced me to most talked about Xbox LIVE arcade title to date...Braid. Yesterday, I watched him complete the game and was left confused but wanting more. Without a clue, hint or guide, LTX beat the enire game using nothing more than his noggin'. 100 Kudos for him!
While the story has left us baffled, the soundtrack continues to grant us a type of serenity reminiscent of RPGs of the late 90s. Lucky for me, I have access to the entire soundtrack to Braid for not one penny. For those of you who would be more than happy to put your credit card on the line to own it, head over to eMusic.com/scenezine. Signing up with that URL will grant you 35 free instant downloads and enroll you in a 14 day trial. If you decide to cancel before the 14 days are up, you can keep your downloads and say "Sayonara!" without any strings attached (Translation: You will not be charged). Oh and your welcome!

OMGosh Shes Alive! Now...Lets Have Some Cake.
Wow...how long has it been? Seeing this cake has inspired me to leave all of my work duties behind and bring to you one of the most astonishing videogame cakes of all time.
The newly weds were nice enough to give complete credit to Mike McCarey, the owner of Mike's Amazing Cakes. Great courage and bravery those two must possess for eating that masterpiece.
Houston We Have A Problem
It's obvious how much neglect this site has been taking. My life is super crazy right now. Work is beatin' me on the a** every chance it gets. My bills are showing me who's boss. There is just barely enough time to enjoy being me. In lighter news, the secret project is on it's way. Yes! That's also what's been taking much of my time. Hopefully, you'll keep posted enough to find out what it is. ^_^
