Blockbuster can suck it

While I will still use their online service as I love that, the brick and motor store here can suck it.  The Blockbuster that siddd05 and I go to when I visit him has new release games.  The one by me, crap.

So I walked across the parking lot at work to the Family Video.  Damn, great prices.  They had All Pro.  They also have free movie rentals, granted those are educational, excercise, and kid movies.  But that is more than what Blockbuster offers.

Shadowrun dedicated server

Damn, this has to be some of the worse dedicated server software ever.  You guys couldn't connect to the game, you want to know why, a PC player has to invite you.  that means if i start the server I have to get a pc player to join.  Then that person can invite 360 players to the game.  LAME!

The experiment I ran yesterday

Since I knew I wouldn't be home most of the day yesterday I ran a dedicated shadowrun server.  I am curious if any 2old2play folk tried to joined it?  It was password protected but that was the experiment.  It was an easy password, 2old2play.  Unfortunately no one joined.

Ran into my vista big Vista issue

Transcode360 will not transcode Divx6 into something the 360 can handle.  Apparently Divx is having issues with Vista.  While I can play the movies on my PC when the movie starts a COM Surrogate error occurs.

Transcoding xvid and h.264 work like a charm.  Media Center and Media Extender is really cool.  I am going to have to get a TV card for the new computer to record TV shows.
