I've had a hard time getting a hold of MS via phone. It takes forever and I have to call them during work hours. However, MS just created a really handy website that does the same thing:

Give them your info and serial number, detail the issue and they'll send you a box. You send it back and you can play games again in a month.

I've seen a bunch of posts talking about the difference between DirectX 9 and DirectX 10 in terms of visual quality, so I thought I'd write up a little bit about the differences from a developer's standpoint.

What does this mean? I'm having a hard time finding anything about this online. I'm curious about the pyschology behind it. I don't think he is a serial killer, but I think this signifies some kind of detachment or lack of imagination or what?

one last post about this. photoshop me, warcrow, and chris remo as superheroes and you could be one of 3 lucky winners to get a box of jason's gaming loot that he has collected from working in the industry over the years. among the stash is:
SNES, NES, genesis, N64, King Kong collectors set, keyboard, nvidia hat, mouse, several comics, many games, a bunch of comics, i believe an atari or something is in here, logitech controller, headset with mic, van helsing PS2, xbox music generator big muthatruckers, anime, superpower 2, xmen legends GC, and locamotion. there's more in there but it's getting too dusty to dig.
it's some really good crap, and i'm probably going to throw in some other nice stuff from around the office if you guys give me submissions today so that i can MAIL IT OUT AND FREE UP MY DAMNED DESK.
it's like a white elephant. but right now.

My music habits usually consist of hard rock and industrial, but I can appreciate other artists such as Genesis, Peter Gabriel and Tori Amos...
However one thing I have never admitted to is the love of some soft "yacht" rock. I know some of you out there, deep down, love some of this shit too. Lately I've been listening to "Right Down the Line" and "Baker Street" from Gerry Rafferty, and realized I have a larger collection of Yacht Rock than I thought...
So, it's time to come out of the closet guys, what soft/yacht rock songs do you tend to favor?

Sierra Nevada Anniversary Ale - Generous Cascade hops, 5.9% ABV, wonderfully balanced American IPA with caramel malt added. Citrusy yet malty with a clean finish - great damn beer, I take back whatever I said about Sierra Nevada. This was my favorite beer by far, and at 5.9 ABV it can be considered a session beer IMO. http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/140/37477
Bear Republic Brewing Co. Racer 5 India Pale Ale - Very bitter, very creamy mouthfeel, coppery, a real hop brute, tastes like a serious California IPA with less of the ass-kick of something from, say, Oregon. 7% ABV, pretty serious IPA. Not quite a Stone IPA, but excellent nonetheless. http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/610/2751
Lagunitas Brewing Co. Sirius Ale - High-gravity cream ale. Very sweet, low hop bite, a metallic sort of taste at first, high at 7.6% ABV (watch out), overall a decent beer, but I wouldn't buy it very often. Too sweet and neutral. Cream ales are not my favorite by a longshot, but I wanted to try it as I like Lagunitas as a rule. http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/220/16159

What do you think is the limiting factor for people who can't make the jump from medium --> hard, or hard --> expert? For those of you who play on expert, what advice do you give to your friends who can't do it?
I play on expert, but my roommate and another friend play on medium. THey've tried to make the jump but can't consistently play on hard. I've tried to teach them numerous things... not lifting your fingers too high off the fretboard so you can react faster, keeping 'lower' frets held down, doing alt-strumming rather than always downstroke. They just can't seem to do hard.
On the other hand, I jump right into expert and can finish most songs pretty easily. I don't think too much while playing, I just...play. I don't think about hand placement, i just move my hand as necessary up and down the fretboard.
So have you guys been able to 'coach' someone through to a higher difficulty level? I see posts like the dragonforce or whatever that song is called and people get kinda heated, "no way omfg that's too hard!" whereas really, Jordan was the only song I couldn't beat on expert in GH2.

Bloodwood...

That's the natural color of the wood. Camera can't capture how beautiful it is because the colors change from yellow, through orange, to red as you move around in relation to the light, it's iridescent and looks like silk. I just did the rough sanding and slapped some shellac on it to see what I'm dealing with and figure which I want to be the top piece.
Then figuring if I want to use steel or copper for the vertical bars that will hold these together.

Chrysler brings back the pentastar. It's like they finally understood the metaphor of being owned by the three-headed hellhound that allows the spirits of the dead to enter, but not leave. They might as well bring back the Diplomat, Aries, Dart, and Aspen.

While I was at EB I overheard the fact that Resident Evil 5 is a PS3 exclusive and that they were still taking pre-orders for GTA IV with a release date of October 16, 2007. I corrected them on both counts and was told that whatever the computer says is what they go by....

So, X360 wired controller just plugs in the USB port on my Lappy 486? No plug convertors or whatnot needed? And does it work with stuff like DosBox and ZSNES (and/or other emus)? Cause my old Sidewinder gamepad I just found is 15-pin gameport. :[
