You're Not The Devil, You're Practice

by Rainier on May 19, 2011 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT | Filed under MOTD

It's good to be back in my own little slice of heaven again. Haven't quite hooked up all the computers again, but we're operational. Of course, it had to be a cold day yesterday while all the windows were out, but luckily, the crew did a stellar job and rushed through the entire ordeal.

The APB open beta got delayed, and that's too bad because some of my friends were waiting to jump in the game and wreak some havoc with me. Can't say I'm surprised, though, because the latest patch, which was probably to prepare for the open beta, caused a few issues (mainly lag), so it was probably best to postpone the open beta until that has been ironed out.

Xbox 360 Dashboard Update Could Render Your Console Useless, Or Maybe Not

by Rainier on May 18, 2011 @ 1:38 p.m. PDT | Filed under News

Microsoft will be rolling out a new dashboard update over the next few weeks, but there might be an annoying side effect to the new disk format, the inability to read any DVDs. Microsoft is introducing a new disk format, to improve its security, and some older X360 models apparently have issue with the new XGD3 format.
