So if you would like to enter, all you have to do is reply in the Xbl Radio FORUM post about this topic with your gamertag. Its that simple, be sure to read that post fully though because it has all the rules for the tournament. If you have any questions feel free to ask, you can ask here on this blog or you can email me at Steve@xblradio.com BUT don’t email me your gamertag, I want them all centerlized, that way I don’t lose anyone’s gamertag that wants to enter. So good luck to ya, and don’t forget to get our latest XBL Radio show buy clicking the “Get Our Podcast” link at the top of the page, because that is the reason why we are doing this contest, to inform new people about our awesome show.

You know all those great ideas you have to make the Xbox 360 dashboard design better right? Now is your chance for your voice to be heard. Head over to WildChicken’s blog (head’s a designer that works on the Dashboard) and sound off accordingly. He’s looking for feedback, and he knows that my blog readers are VERY vocal audience.

What’s that? XBL Radio is giving away a free Xbox 360 vision camera? Yep that’s right, XBL Radio is giving away a free vision camera to the winner of the XBL Radio Texas Hold’em Tournament. Next Tuesday, Sept 12 ONLY on the podcast, we will give out the “secret” password to enter the tournament. The tournament will go down Sunday, Sept 17 at 7 PST and it will continue ALL day until we have a winner. So first then, if you are unable to make it, please don’t enter it only to be fair to those that can make it, but don’t let that stop you from listening in to the XBL Radio show.
Here are the rules/setup:
It will be in multiplayer, tournament game, player match, create match, $50/$100 blinds, and all assigned seats set at private.
If you’re not there, sorry but you’re not in the tournament, I have to be fair to all others.
The last 2 players remaining on the table at the end will advance to the NEXT table the very SAME day.
You must check XBLRadio.com for updates on this tournament, last tournament I tried to message all the contestants about this but Xbox live has limitations so I am not going through that again, its up to YOU to find out who you play.
You must let me know if you wanna be in the tournament by Friday, Sept 15 at midnight PST so I can have the first matches up by Saturday evening.
And finally, I don’t care who hosts or starts up the room, but you must use the options I listed above and the last 2 players standing must message me about who won or I won’t know and you won’t advance. I must have the winners in my inbox or on the forums as soon as the match is over.
I will post the matches here in the XBL Radio forums (brand new by the way!).
And an absolutely huge thanks goes out to Tony from Microsoft and Xbox Live for hooking up XBL Radio with the Vision Cams.
If you have any questions, feel free to email me at Steve@xblradio.com
(all rules are subject to change so make sure your checking out the site)
DON’T FORGET: You must listen to XBL Radio Podcast v26.0 (available Tue 9-12-2006) to get the “secret password” to enter the tournament.
The backwards compatibility list grew a lot today thanks to Microsoft. And not only were older games put on there, but newer and UNRELEASED games as well, like Lego Starwars 2. So for all of you that thought MS was done working on this, here ya go. And for some more good news, they are continuing to work on this. Props to MS for continuing the BackCompat project.
Thanks to Gamerscore Blog for the heads up, click their link for the full story. And no Rusty! Midtown Madness 3 did not make the list this time! So keep playing GeoWars.
Alright its time for round 2. Round 2 will take place at 7pm pst on Wednesday August 30. Here are the rules, I don’t care who starts up the game as long as it gets started, but you must have standard uno, standard deck, NO CUSTOM RULES and ALL private seats. Now once the game is started, you will continue to play till someone has 3, yes 3 wins. If it is the computer, keep going till a human player has 3 wins. Now it is up to the winner to email who one, if I get no emails about that match, I will consider it a no show on everyones part. Now this is all an honesty tournament here. I can’t sit in on every match and watch so its up to you guys to police each other. Now the 2nd round will start this Wednesday at 7pst UNLESS all parties in that match agree on a different time, but I MUST have all results by Friday morning and then we will continue the finals where someone will be declared the UNO Champion and I will award them with some free MS Points. If you have any more questions feel free to email me at Steve@xblradio.com
Now for the bracket (there were some empty spot so I reinserted the xbl radio staff)
Match 1: ssab, goverland, the other guy 1, NXJ NightHawk
Match 2: Steve519, MysteryMVP, Maniac Mic
Match 3: TJ Iverson, Favid 56, Rusty Ranchero
Match 4: Rayjay2, MrCarpaltunnel, Tommyboy 99
Now I had a chance to play this game at PAX and it is so cool. It’s called Castle Crashers and The Behemoth is making this one. You might remember them, they made the critically acclaimed Alien Hominid (which btw is coming to the Xbox Live Acrade this Fall). But this game is awesome, the graphics were beautifully cell shaded and the animations were great, and a ton of action going on while your playing. This game will be co-op with up to 4 buddys playing with you and its coming out early 2007 so keep an eye out for this one, I can promise you that you won’t be dissapointed.
Check out my YouTube video for Castle Crashers!

Alright the bracket is made, here are the rules, I don’t care who starts up the game as long as it gets started, but you must have standard uno, standard deck, NO CUSTOM RULES and ALL private seats. Now one thing that I am sorry for is that I couldn’t set the groups the way I wanted to, with day players and night players, but since you don’t have to pay to play oh well I guess, I did do what I could. So with that in mind NOT everyone is going to show, thats to be expected, and again sorry, I was limited to programing restrictions. Now once the game is started, you will continue to play till someone has 3, yes 3 wins. If it is the computer, keep going till a human player has 3 wins. Now it is up to the winner to email who one, if I get no emails about that match, I will consider it a no show on everyones part. Now this is all an honesty tournament here. I can’t sit in on every match and watch so its up to you guys to police each other. Now the first round will start this Wednesday at 7pst UNLESS all parties in that match agree on a different time, but I MUST have all results by Friday morning and then we will continue the next round probably Monday. If you have any more questions feel free to email me at Steve@xblradio.com
