Xbox’s Dad of the Year

Friday, June 1st, 2007

I’m not sure if you guys caught this but if you didn’t you have to check this out.

Do You Know a Great Gaming Dad?

Do you know a terrific gaming Dad? Here’s your chance to show him some Father’s Day love and take a shot at winning an awesome prize for yourself*. Here’s how it works.

Write an original essay about a father (or male legal guardian) and gaming. Do you know a Dad who does a great job balancing gaming and fatherhood? Is he known for his patience with n00bs or his mad fragging skills? Does he play games with his kids? Is he raising his gamer offspring to play fair and follow the rules? (more…)

My Newest Dilemma

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007

Ok, I just had my birthday and I was given a hundred dollars in Bestbuy dollars, which got me thinking; I now can get a HD DVD player for only a hundred dollars(of my own money)! But then Microsoft just lowered the prices of the wireless racing wheel and Bestbuy has them on sale for 109, which would really only cost me nine dollars. But then that got me thinking, I have a Nintendo Wii that I haven’t touched since Febuary, so if I went and I sold it along with the games and accessories I have for it, add the Bestbuy dollars, I would probably only have to cough up max 200, more then likely 100-150 though. And if I took that route I would have a high-def dvd player and another videogame console. So with all this going on, I’m not sure what I should do, and this is why I am posting this here, to see what you all think. So do me a favor and help me make my decision for me.

Win a free copy of Lost Planet

Monday, May 28th, 2007

Gamers from all over now have the choice to choose their path to Lost Planet. You can choose to go through a casino in Las Vegas, or even the Las Vegas University while battling terrorist. Or you can trek your way through Mexico, where you’re the outsider and nobody wants you there. As the gamer, you have the option to choose how you get the copy of Lost Planet.

Please Choose either Rainbow Six: Vegas or Ghost Reacon Advance Warfighter 2. Which ever game has the majority of votes, will be the game the tournament is in. Once you have voted, please sign-up below by leaving your gamertag. Keep in mind that there maybe a chance your game is not the one the tournament is held in, so if you still want to play, please try to have a copy, or able to get a copy, of both.

The voting will go on for 2 weeks (June 11). At that point we will create the tournament and teams. Rules of the tournament and how it will work will be posted no later than Tuesday, May 29. I’m hoping for at least 48 players.

Thank you from all of us here at XBL Radio.

The Marketplace Mistake…

Friday, May 25th, 2007

I can’t figure this one out:

My kids are out of school for the Summer and I want to keep them entertained. As you all know my kids are gamers (just like their Dad). Recently they are really enjoying the Arcade titles that MS has been releasing. I, as a parent, don’t mind purchacing them because I get to play them as well. However, now there are issues with who gets the 360 when Dads home.

Solution:

Buy another 360! Right? Hmmm… It’s not that clear-cut. If I have a second console for my kids; then what happens to all the Arcade games I own? Do I call MS everytime I buy a game now to let them know my other gamertag isn’t getting it? Do I purchace each game twice for the same household? Do I recover my Gamertag each time I go to my kids console? Do I really wan’t to bother with any of these choices?

I know that this may seem trivial but:

Itunes lets me share my music througout the home. I can rent a DVD from Blockbuster and any set with a player can watch it. Even TIVO lets me leap-frog my programs to other TIVO players. GAMEtap lets you have up to six accounts. So why do we have to hop through hoops to play TMNT?

With all of these issues I am really pondering telling the Kids that paying for one account and one game at a time is enough. If anyone can tell me an antidote for this please clue me in. I will discuss it on the next cast. Keep in mind I don’t want to make a phone call, re-download my gamertag, or do anything that takes real effort to play a game I’ve already paid for. I think buying two consoles with two GOLD memberships tied to the same VISA card is proof enough that I have the right to play the game no matter where I am sitting.
