Review: SSX3 - Xbox

I played SSX Tricky on a friend’s xbox via Blockbuster, and we ended up renting it 3+ times because it was so fun.  So when I read a review stating that SSX3 had improved on an already stellar game, I snagged it off ebay for cheap (see my blog on “gaming on the cheap”).  Despite its lack of xbox Live support, it had proved to be a stellar game, and does not disappoint.

Gaming on the Cheap

Gaming on the Cheap

 

I’ve never been the first on the block with a new system, product, or service.  I’m always hesitant when getting new things because I live on a budget-not a strict one really, but I am always mindful of how I spend my money.

My system library looks something like this:

Perspective and Consistency

Halo 2, and really any game you play on Live, is all about Perspective. Many of us that play are quite competitive; we like to win; we do not like losing (who does?). So it is understandable how Halo 2 (or other) can be extremely frustrating when you lose or perform poorly with any consistency. Team balance can be hard to come by, in both customs and MM. My clan had a discussion on this in our forum not too long ago. It was basically decided that it was the responsibility of the Party Leader to decide if teams were unfair and that it was the PL’s call on whet

Killing time in H2

Killing time in H2
 
This is a re-post of my previous blog that got erased (see ‘Dang IE’ blog). I will try to recollect everything I included the first time and maybe add a few other things along the way.
 
So, without further ado… I present “Killing time in H2”
There are times I log on and don’t feel like jumping into MM. There are few to no clan members and friends on, or rather the group I want to be in is in the middle of a game.   Here are some fun things to do by yourself when just piddling around.

Controller Setup

Myth: The higher look sensitivity you have, the better player you are.
Myth: Default config is best.

Ill get look sensitivity out of the way.  It is dang hard to snipe with look sensitivity 10.  A lot of the pros stay between 3-5.  Do what feels best for you.

Regarding controller configuration, what is best is not what is common; what is best is what suits your play style best.  All configurations have advantages and disadvantages.  Take a look at my sig:

"Had a Bad Day" - Pet Peeve

Dear Daniel Powder,

The words "most" and "lost," though they both end in "ost," in fact, do not rhyme.
That is all.

Dang IE

I just spent 30 minutes typing up a detailed blog entry...  This one was even related to H2.

In the course of creating this entry for the edification and benefit of my fellow 2o2pers, I cleared the temporary internet files and cookies in IE.  Still had the blog post window open though.

When I hit submit entry... nothin.

No new entry... grrr.

When I hit the Back button, it took me back to the main blog page... grrr.

So there went 30 minutes down the drain, and now I dont feel like re-typing it.

Maybe another time.  Sorry guys.

"Customer Service"

Quick RL entry:
The term Customer Service should be banned, or only given as an honorary title… I just switched carriers from Verizon to Cingular. I had had a LG VX4400 phone for the last 2 years, and have a brand new Nokia 6682 that is sweet. I go to TWO Cingular stores today to get my phonebook transferred to the new phone, and neither location can do it.
