If you haven’t noticed yet

I have been tweaking the sidebar of the blog, and I like it. First I have added 3 new parts my Gamercard, my Zune Card, and my Twitter updates. Some of you will notice my Zunetag and Gamertag are two different things, this is because my Gamertag has screwed up parental controls I cannot fix, so my Gamertag cannot be registered as a Zunetag. Alos this is the Yahoo! pipe i used to strip the username off of my Twitter feed: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=ac45e9eb9b0174a4e53f23c4c9903c3f. It is an extremely useful extremely pipe.

Also, I have removed my Last.fm updates, this is because of the addition of he Zunecard, and I have removed the ability to add to Tenchorati, this feature was not being used at all, and is being updated with more options.

EDIT: I am currently removing the zunecard because it is too wide and cannot be resized in the image version, so wordpress, enable better support.

Halo 3 News

So as you all know the Halo 3 Multilayer Beta Has Started And I Have Some Videos For You, YAY!

Sweet… Also a official date for Halo 3 has been announced….. September 25 2007, earlier than we all expected, hopefully it does not get pushed back like Halo 2.

Linkin Park Has….Devolved!?!?!

Okay After Listening To The Album Many Times I Can Write A Review Here It Goes:

Wake – Good Instumental, reminded me of Breaking Benjamin’s “Intro” and “Outro” – 4/5

Given Up – Excellent Track, it really captures what LP WANTS to be, also Chester NAILS a 17-Second long SCREAM AWESOME! - 4.5/5

Leave Out All The Rest – Only good ballad on the CD aside from Shadow Of The Day, but I’m not a big fan of ballads – 3/5

Bleed It Out – My favorite track on the CD, It starts out with a good rap by mike and leads into Chesters newfound lung capacity.

Shadow Of The Day – Good ballad with some harder elements, good listen – 3.5/5

What I’ve Done -Great Song with a kind of creepy Piano intro – 4/5

Hand Hels High – Good slow rap by Mike – 4/5

No More Sorrow – Good Rock Song, with some elements of the Old LP – 4/5

In Beetween/In Pieces/The Little Things Give You Away – ALL ARE HORRID! ENOUGH SAID! – 2/5

Minutes To Midnight As A Album – Pretty Good listen, LP has completely departed from their old sound, but that is not a bad thing. – 4/5

Best Lyrics Ever. Period.

Song: Pushing Me Away

Album: Hybrid Theroy

Artist : Linkin Park

Lyrics:

I’ve lied / To you
The same way that I always do
This is / The last smile
That I’ll fake for the sake of being with you

(Everything falls apart / Even the people who never frown / Eventually break down)
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
(Everything has to end / You’ll soon find we’re out of time left / To watch it all unwind)
The sacrifice is never knowing

 

Chorus: repeat 2X
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me awayI’ve tried / Like you
To do everything you wanted to
This is / The last time
I’ll take the blame for the sake of being with

 

(Everything falls apart / Even the people who never frown / Eventually break down)
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
(Everything has to end / You’ll soon find we’re out of time left / To watch it all unwind)
The sacrifice is never knowing

 

Chorus 2X

 

Were all out of time / this is how we learn how it all unwinds
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
Were all out of time / this is how we learn how it all unwinds
The sacrifice is never knowing why…

 

Chorus 2X

 

Pushes me away

Awsome Video Soon/Triple Boot Woes

Okay here is a update, I wasted half my Saturday last week making a halo music video with clips from the Halo 3 E3 trailer, the Halo Wars trailer, and the Halo 2 Cinematic trailer. The whole tthing syncs up perfectly with Linkin Park’s In The End. I will have it up on you tube soon.

Edit: Here it is!

 

Now for my problems, I am working on a machine that will triple boot Windows XP Home, Windows Vista Home Premium, and Kubuntu. But I can’t find a way to bypass the windows bootloader and go straight through GRUB. Also my Wireless card will not work in Vista or Kubuntu, but I might have found a solution for Kubuntu, but Vista has been a bit more tricky. DWL-520M is the model number E-Mail me at SpartanJohn13@gmail.com if you have a solution.

Xbox 360 Elite Announced!

Microsoft officialy announced the Xbox 360 Elite(Codenamed Zephyr)

Engadget Story:

HD nerds and Xbox fanboys, the moment you’ve been waiting for: the Xbox 360 Elite we alerted you about way back when it was just called the Zephyr has finally been announced. As we previously mentioned, it will be black, it will have HDMI, and it will have a 120GB drive (it’ll also come bundled with a one month Xbox Live trial) for $479. Unfortunately, also as mentioned before, it’s not going to have the new 65nm CPUs, it still doesn’t have integrated WiFi (Xbox said it’s because a study showed the majority of their customers use Ethernet to connect — huh?), and it won’t have an integrated HD DVD drive (not that we expected otherwise). Microsoft did make some marketing decisions since our sources spilled the beans on this thing though: it’s not going to be limited edition, as we previously had. Instead, the Elite will be a permanent SKU, the third and top-tier Xbox device. On the solo 120GB drive side of things, that unit will cost $179, and will come with a cable and software to migrate from your old 20GB drive. (MSFT wasn’t yet sure if that kit would be sold separately for new Elite users — sounds like it will be though, and will be priced very reasonably.) More info:

• The console will come with component and composite cables, as well as an HDMI cable. (Take that, Sony and Apple!)
• The console will come with a black wireless controller and black (wired) headset.
• Sorry, the new black controller still doesn’t have backlit buttons — don’t let the pic fool you.
• The black controller, black rechargeable batteries, black headset, and black Play & Charge kit will all be available in retail for the same price as the white gear.
• The HD DVD drive will not be released in black.
• Xbox didn’t know what HDMI version the Elite uses, nor whether it supports PCM 5.1, TrueHD, etc.; it will obviously support 1080p, though.
• Sorry, no price cuts on the Premium or Core packs.
• Xbox Live Marketplace will also begin vending content from New Line, Paramount, and Universal (and their properties).

It’s out April 29th in the US and Canada, people. Ready for your second Xbox? No? Well, it’s still cheaper than that other black game console.

Update: Added more pics; also, Major Nelson has live hands-on pics, too.
