Obtained the Xbox 360 S Hard Drive and the rechargeable battery

That happened yesterday in the late afternoon when I prepared like $180+ to buy the 250GB Hard Drive for my Xbox 360 S console. It didn't look that easy to buy as hard drives like the one I bought are freaking expensive. Also before this, I was going to run out of the battery for the Xbox 360 wireless controller so I bought the rechargeable battery set in which I replaced the batteries that came with the console with the ones from the set I bought. That set cost $20+ from the store that is for Home and Office use. Of course, you don't want to buy the rechargeable battery set for Office use, do you? I guess that this can prevent this childish problem about the gadgets being left behind after work so the company may have the other ways to store data such as having disk arrays connected to the network devices, storage servers connected as well and any other kind of storages that make use of network connection such as Cloud Storages.

Got Grip-It for use with Xbox 360

Unfortunately, this accessory may somewhat make things either worse or better but who knows? Anyway, this may be the proper video gaming related topic as you may hope to me instead of that freaking useless Employee Profile project we were supposed to submit last Friday. That consisted of the updated school styled website the spammer director of school from my college wanted to see which should contain the resume, portfolio, the CCA information and certain assignments that were from the respective modules. However, since he’s a huge piece of spam that impacted with my home network and my computers, I may need to do some more maintenance by improving the performance. Also, I added biography and resume in the foreign ways by following the online articles and using one of the websites as the references. Well, I referred to the personal website in which the person is now working with Angry Joe as his lieutenant. That was her site because my first knowledge about her came from Angry Joe Show. This was followed by other guys working with Angry Joe as well but then he is the main guy of the show so they are like his assistants or something.

Next, I renewed the Challenger membership for two more years under $30 and I got the free things again. I chose the mouse as I was given another Internet Security software again. I already had Norton Anti-Virus as the free product when I bought Microsoft Office last year as I had no choice but to upgrade. That was the Mobile Gear mouse and it looked kind of a bit smaller than the regular mouse as such mice like this are like they are for netbook use.

I actually wanted to buy the Control Freak or the arcade controller but the arcade controller doesn’t seem to be easy to buy. Also, I couldn’t even find the Control Freak accessory so I bought the Grip-It accessory instead.

Project Diva Arcade

This will be one more arcade game to be played in the arcades this vacation. However, the upcoming tests and exams are in the way of the vacation and just like last year, there may be tests every week so we’ve got to keep studying. There were IT Free Training videos I already watched and learnt from but then the learning was at the beginning starting the Terminal Server thing whose configuration was still incomplete. There were other things about the OSI models in which I took some interesting notes I got the attention from. Well, each run is short in rhythm games in the arcades but it is expensive and takes more money than other arcades games other there by costing around $1 to $3 and this game costs $2 per run. Sure there are many songs to play and choose from but it’s risky to play this game again and again and again. I played this game, Project Diva Arcade for the first time but I chose the one-song run and that was a waste of $2 as I don’t want to risk myself failing the stages in rhythm games. What’s important to avoid failing is the Life Bar and the Stage Completion requirement bar. The bottom bar depends on how well you do and the Life Bar on top is that you must pay the first attention to. These two bars are the top priorities in the game but unfortunately, my timing wasn’t right although it was meant to be synchronized with the music. Also, some parts can be tricky but the controls are right with right button size and alignments. It is way smoother than playing this on the PSP but it has high-definition visuals and changed features. It is one whole game featuring the songs from the PSP versions because it can be updated and is running on the new Sega PC based arcade machine that scores and other kinds of data can be recorded online with the usage of the network connection. It’s not bad but there are two problems with rhythm games in the arcades. First is that the room can be noisy even if rhythm game genre is the most important in terms of volume and speaker setup so that players can pay more attention but then having too loud of the volume of some rhythm games can cause another different problem. Second is that there should be some kind of game genre filtering on the arcade room as well as walls that form another room of the arcade center.

Before this, I bought another 3200 MS Points Card from Game Store and there was a 250GB HDD being displayed as well. The price wasn’t bad but too bad I still have to prepare additional money to buy that HDD. Even other people will have to buy that thing as well in case their console is running out of storage space. Well, there’s one more 3200 MS Points Card to buy before spending the remaining points of certain Xbox Live Arcade games. What I planned at home is to take an existing 16GB USB Flash Drive as I still haven’t bought that HDD yet to store certain games that are bought using those MS Points Card. The calculation will go as 14GB but trying to download games like that will take a long time which can be tedious for the console itself. I guess that other people had already bought those games before I did or perhaps they are replaced with the Kinect powered games being on display on the stores.

Then there’s some newspaper in June 24th saying that things were getting way too bright in the morning. I guess the summer had already started but this is way worse like that photograph may be next year’s warning example. The palette of the place may change in color and things may be a lot hotter than ever that they may burn without warning. My thoughts are that this is the late first anniversary of the Eschatological Pranking Day that happened in late May to warn the people of the upcoming end. Indeed, this new Clear commercial has been showing us the examples of how our hair will be screwed if there are way too much hair-fall and dandruff that spell disasters on it.

Vacation starts now

The term is over so is the set of tests that the college vacation starts now. However, it’s only three weeks due to the nastiness of the timetable itself. So, I went to buy 3200 MS points after explaining that the Asian Xbox 360 consoles are based on NTSC-J region. Also, only 250GB hard drive is available for Xbox 360 S. The lower sized hard drives are somewhat not available here but forget about the hard drives as they are freaking expensive. Even the USB hard drives don’t help because USB storages are limited to 16GB so the 16GB flash drives can be useful for storing certain games.

The first Games On Demand I bought using that 3200 MS point card was Raiden IV and it is apparently multi-language compatible but the game size is under the range of Xbox Live Arcade games. The interface is great but the effects recycled from the prequel are nothing as good as the prequel. Also, the quality of Stage 5 and 6 on Xbox 360 modes are freaking low compared to other stages and the True Last Boss destruction thing from in-game doesn’t seem to be anything good either. The game’s still not bad with 7/10 and if you beat the True Last Boss, you get to see the ship making clear of that boss after destroying it. From that moment, you will get the Mission Complete bonus before the ship returns back to the mothership as usual and what do you get, a true peace after the battle. For first loop completion FMV, you return to find that the invasion is on-going and the mothership is under attack as well and thus beginning the second loop.

IPv6 day aftermath

We were freaking aware of the rumors of late May false happenings but then there were some biblical noobs and movie noobs out there trying to make stupid referral medical links to here. What a medical spam that was set out to dis-believe what was going to happen. Another thing was that some friends of mine were starting to become musical faggots for liking that 17-year old Canadian Pop spoilt idol who was threatened by the people as the news articles mentioned last time. If you can crack down this meaning, you may have known what was in my mind because I cannot reveal all kinds of retarded details about him I had collected from news articles. Well, those details were actually from the news and many people had absorbed them. Well, those musical noobs were also trying to make medical rumors saying that we have some kind of problem for making such kinds of rumors. This is like watching Dragon Wars movie where the victims of the attacks are the only ones that believe the incoming legendary war while being hospitalized. This happens every 5 centuries if you ask me about the story of that movie.

Now, about the IPv6, not all people think that this new protocol is important to learn and use and the fact that some technical noobs are trying to force me to reverb back to IPv4 to learn and use perhaps to prevent some mistakes. You know, I already fulfilled the IPv6 day by getting IPv6 enabled with GogoNet tunnel but they wouldn’t even believe this component like they are trying to threaten us down.

IPv6 for Wordpress

Even Wordpress is finally using IPv6 to be frank but that was the preparation for the IPv6 day. Hmm, just how the heck can we go to IPv6 version of Wordpress then, if we can migrate our blog in Wordpress to use that protocol, that will be a good thing to continue the future of the internet technology. Once again, the tests are coming in next week that almost nobody thinks of this new protocol as if that new protocol isn’t important that they are telling me to use IPv4 again for practices and tests.

Official happening at Wordpress is here: http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2011/06/08/world-ipv6-day/

IPv6 Day is fulfilled!

The title says it all as I’ve been IPv6 enabled with GogoNET Tunnel. Somehow and somewhat, my DIR-615 router also knows and detects various IPv6 addresses. So, the websites I knew were Google, Facebook and Yahoo Japan but these sites in IPv6 mode are not easy to enter the web addresses with. Even with NSLOOKUP, it won’t be that easy to know so I made a bunch of guesses like trial and error. Unfortunately, this lasted for 24 hours starting from when IPv6 day started but Google site in IPv6 is still on-going.

During the Google Image Search, I stumbled on something funny during the IPv6 day. Some image on whatever was happening on late May had the date changed to June 8th as if the Internet is becoming no more as we know it but the future of the Internet changes with the arrival of IPv6, putting the almost scary ending to the IPv4 itself. That doesn’t scare me about this ending but I doubt that the true ending of IPv4 will happen one day. Talk about the Day of Internet Eschatology where the final days will be around the beginning of June until June 8th or maybe one day when the IPv4 will be depleted completely. When this happens, there will be more technical problems and chaos everywhere that destructive complaints will be launched although the solution already existed in the past until now.
