XBL Radio Are you sad that there’s no XBLA title today? Don’t be!
In addition to the arcade announcements we made yesterday, we are having a sweepstakes focused around Live Arcade! We’ll run the contest starting today (it is Xbox Live Arcade Wednesday, after all) and up through next Tuesday (2/6/07).
Correctly answer all of the questions below, and you will be entered into a drawing for 1000 Microsoft points! The answers can be found in the games mentioned (including the free trials).
To enter, send an email to arctriv@microsoft.com including your Xbox Live Gamertag, the email address tied to your Xbox Live Gamertag, and your answers to the questions below. 100 winners will be selected from the correct entries.
Trivia Questions:
1 - In Small Arms, the frenetic action shooter, in what city did Mousey McNuts, the lovable street urchin, grow up? (Quit laughing, that’s his name…)
2 - In Marble Blast Ultra, the 3D marble puzzler, what is the difficulty rating of the hardest single player level?
3 - In Cloning Clyde, the zany-side-scrolling platformer, how much money is Clyde offered for his help in the cloning experiment?
People in suits and black sunglasses are requiring me to state the following:
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. Open only to legal residents of the 50 United States (includes D.C.) 18 years or older. Game ends February 6, 2007. For full rules including alternate method of entry, visit this link.

XBL Radio I found this today while I was checking Xbox.com
I’m guess that Trixie wrote it because she always includes XBL Radio in her articles and that is one of the reasons why we love her. Anyways, Trixie wrote up a section called Community 101 and she linked a bunch of cool places like: Major Nelson Radio, Xbox Ambassadors, Xbox GamerchiX, League of Amateur Gamers, 360voice.com, and a bunch of other cool places too. But right there in my crappy looking picture I took (I suck at photoshop), you will see XBL Radio listed and the comment for us is, “Steve519 lays it down, Seattle-style”. I was shocked to see that, not only XBL Radio listed but my name thrown down there as well. To me thats friggen awesome stuff. So I might seem a little arrogant, but thats because I’m feeling good right now so let me have my moment. And thanks a lot Trixie for bringing some of the Xbox loving our way at XBL Radio, I know myself and the rest of the awesome crew here love it when you guys at MS mention us and help spread the word about us.
You guys know what we need now? Anyone? We need a XBL Radio MVP. Who’s with me on this? (And by XBL Radio MVP I don’t mean a MVP of XBL Radio but I mean at least someone from XBL Radio should be put into the MVP program for Xbox. Really.)
Take it easy you guys and I will get with you all tomorrow with another edition of XBL Radio Video Minute.

This is XBL Radio’s Video Review of a decal purchased from Decal Girl
The MSRP for this these decals are 4.99 each.
Pluses: its cheap,it has a nice design, plus they look cool, the amount of designs and they have the decals for EVERYTHING
Minuses: you can only buy them online, not at any local stores
Overall, I give it a buy, the price is right, and it looks awesome. They sell decals for controllers for every system as well as full decals for all systems, ipods and more. This was the second time I’ve purchased from them and I have had great customer service along with fast shipping both times. So if you wanna get away from the plain look of your regular system, Decalgirl.com is the place to go.
