Tversity: My Friend

For a while now, I was streaming my content via my xbox since it has XBMC on it. I saw this Tversity software that allowed me to do the same thing on my xbox 360. I saw this thing a while ago and I never really bothered with it. In December 2007 (I believe), an update was released by M$ that allows you to stream XVID and DIVX content. It was an exciting month for all of those individuals with gigs of vids. I believe the reason that I held off setting up Tversity for so long is because it gave my original box something to do over my network.

Yesterday due to some intermitent chocking issues with my old box i decided to embark on this new ground and adventure. after reading the tutorial and settiing up Tversity, I am very please with the results. Now that Tversity is set up, I doubt that we will be streaming on the first box. For those who may not know what I’m refering to (which is very possible) the tutorial can be found here. I actually jumped right to page three and did the set up. This thing is fantastic. Just follow all the instructions you need to follow and don’t try to reinvent the wheel and you’ll be fine.

GTA IV

Alright, so how’s not writing about this game? Surely I must post something? Smith haven Mall, Suffolk county, Long Island is where I found my self and my neighbor (the BS3 owner) heading to the mall for the midnight run. I went there to chill and keep him company (that’s what friends are for) with no real strong interest in GTA IV. Well, Let me explain, I did plan on getting the game at some point and I was really excited for him getting it for his BS3. As the night got closer to 12.00a something happened. While we were hanging out he made me an offer i just could not refuse. Yup, you guessed it – I went home that night with a copy of GTA for 360. Continue reading ‘GTA IV’

Don’t miss out

For those of you who have been hibernating for the last 4 years and still do not have a gmail account, you need prayer because you are missing out; literally! Gmail added a custom time feature recently where if you miss a birthday or wanted to send a mesage that could of saved your relationship or lack of it  -this is for you!

Don’t miss out because you’re the one who benefits from all this.

 

 

Master Chief switches gears

At the end of halo 3 the chief tells Cortana to wake him up if she needs him. Well apparently she did. We know based on the halo trilogy that Master chief is the master of weapons both human and alien. He has proven yet again why he is the master and has awaken from his short nap to join Cole, Cloud, Spawn and even the gritty Marcus Fenix in the unreal tournament battle. Hey, I didn’t believe either but there are two many ways convince us web junkies and gaming hordes.

 It really doesn’t matter if you like him or not or whether you own or like the PS3 or not, Master chief is an icon in the FPS world. Think about it, some of us have thrown lan parties around this guy and others can’t stand the impact that he’s made in the gaming world. If you didn’t figure it out yet according to the picture, the master chief on the left is the one in the UT3 (yes, he looks that good). I had the opportunity to try this out at my neighbor’s house yesterday and boy did I get my spartan pride! I totally forgot I was playing a BS3 (although I respect the system for all the achievements thus far). Can you tell that I own a 360? Master chiefs movements are fluid and his suit is eye candy. For halo fans, if you own a PS3 I’d say this is a must – there is no doubt about it. At first I pondered if they (the PS3 owners) want chief that bad they should just get a 360 but as I thought about it some more I realized that this is a great addition to the gaming community and we should enjoy it for what it is. Way to go Mr. Modder “you done good”.
