Got the Xbox 360 in June 2nd

This should be surprising but it may be viewable a lot if we talk about various Cave games. From that time, there was the Microsoft IT event which was known as Microsoft Student TechFest. This took place at the auditorium of the polytechnic and we were briefed the respective decent Microsoft technologies. So we know the new features of Windows Live Wave 4 and the latest version of Microsoft Office. You know, I had used OneNote for probably personal projects that are good instead of crap. Other experiences included Windows Live Photo Gallery and Windows Live Movie Maker and Windows Live Writer in which nobody mentioned about Windows Live Writer. For Windows Live Movie Maker, it is not what we want to see like this because it’s completely different than its predecessor or the third-party video editor programs. Hell, you can screw this in favor of a video editor that is capable of rendering the 60FPS video. After all, I have the Nico Nico Douga account for uploading videos nobody does just like in my YouTube account. There were videos of my tricks I performed in video games like Gradius Galaxies and Sonic Heroes. Other glitch I performed unexpectedly was in Gradius IV in which I went through the dead-end in the high speed stage. That dead-end surely has smaller hitboxes between these boxy tiled things and that means they are not connected, leaving the rest of the stage to be connected or merged. Think about modeling two boxes without merging them that there are gaps going on. This happened while I was playing Gradius IV on my PSP. Back to Windows Live Movie Maker, I obviously used that program to post certain remixes to YouTube and Facebook respectively. Lastly, for Windows Live Photo Gallery, I may decide not to use it as it takes up so much resources and long to load up. So Microsoft OneNote is kind of useful for you to take note in schools, work and other kinds of briefings but other Microsoft Office products are underrated. After these introductions, there was some lucky prize winning and I was one of these lucky winners in which I won the Xbox 360.

Unfortunately, there were few flaws that screwed up the event. First is some bloody spoilt brat-ish song that was executed during the 10 second posing part but too bad that the prizes were not that major for answering the questions and doing those special parts as well. Second flaw was the unnecessary 10 second posing part in which you had to feel some musical beat like a dance or something. Also, you had to strike some poses on the stage. Why that song I mentioned was a brat-ish was that it’s because it is nowadays performed by that spoilt musical pop brat from Canada.

A Day Later

Then I had to buy certain games like Dreamcast Collection and Xbox Live Arcade games from the store after looking for games I wanted. It might be because those people had already bought those games or maybe the retailers discarded them as if nobody but me might want them. What I bought for Xbox Live Arcade was the 1600 MS Points card and after getting the trial version of those XBLA games, I used that card to get the full version of G.Rev’s Strania and holy cow, that was really hard.

Conclusion

This prize winning part took damn long like a waste of time but the real time-waster was the 10-second posing part. I guess that we had no choice but to keep on staying on the IT events at all time until we were dismissed. This is probably the screwed up IT event at the end, having to include that song or that 10 second posing part should not have been parts of the events whatsoever. Then there’s Kinect Adventures in which I never touched at all as I’m pretty shy to use that Kinect technology to play with it so I played a bunch of Xbox Live Arcade shmup games to surprise my foreign friend that I have the game console. After all at this rate, I may end up becoming the arcade gamer but I suck ass in fighting game genre. DAMN, what kind of controller was that from the console? Its sucky communication with controls got my ass kicked when I tried out the trial version of KOF 98 UM.
