Sorry I haven't been posting in the last couple days it's just been a really busy week. I had my graduation party on Saturday and that's why I have been busy all week getting ready for it. Luckily, it turned out to be great and we had a great turnout. The biggest thing of the party was the fact that I got my HDTV! It's a 22" Samsung LCD HDTV. I love it, it's perfect for the 360 and I'm gonna use it as a monitor for my laptop because I need a bigger screen for college since I'm going into game design. However, I'll probably just get a new laptop eventually but watching videos from my computer on my HDTV. Anyways my internet has been messing up lately because the network adapter I use for my laptop is broken. The internal one in my laptop has been messed up for a while so I have a Linksys USB adapter that I have been using. So yesterday I ordered a new, and faster, USB adapter. It's more like a flash drive and can get your internet up to 250 Mbps which my last one only got 54 Mbps. I got it off of Newegg and it was originally $79.99 but I got it for $64.99 with free 3-day shipping! It should be here on Wednesday and hopefully my internet will run a lot faster now. So that has been what's going on for me. No Achievement Update this week, it will return next week. Thanks for reading! Pictures of the TV will be coming.

*EDIT: I thought I'd add the pictures of my TV now, so take a look*

Believe me, its bigger than it looks in this picture.

Damn, flash...

....that's better.

Now you see my awesome gaming layout. You got my Xbox, HDTV, laptop, and my pills. lol

Until next time, RIP: Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, and Billy Mays.

250Mps?...
The connection between you laptop and modem/router right? Mine is at 54mps, but my actual connection from my modem to the internet is 7mps (Which makes for great torrenting btw)

@ahriman22: That's the max. I don't expect it to get up there I expect it to be at 54Mbps but my old one is going super slow now.

Nice, HD... one day. I keep buying games, and I keep spending my savings. Man, that's a big bottle of pills. What's your faceplate on your 360?

I see the King. I'm expecting him to pop out of one of those pictures any moment and sate my hunger with burger-ey goodness.

I really want to play Sneak King, I even have an imported copy but, it's region locked ;_;

@Claude: Yeah, I got this as a present so I never spent a thing. The pills aren't important I don't even have to take them. They're just acne stuff but I don't really have a problem with acne anymore. The faceplate is Forza 2.

@gingertastic_10: Well, it's better than nothing. The hat is awesome too. I had it there even when I worked for McDonald's lol.

@The_A_Drain: LMAO! I don't think you're missing out on much with Sneak King.

@GamerGeek360:

Are you kidding me? It might not be the best game ever made (by a long shot) but the idea behind it, the ideals it represents, the sheer, terror it wields is the best thing ever! :P

That wireless USB stick will only give you 250mps if you have a draft N wireless router. G can only do 54mps. What you ordered was a draft N adapter and you need a draft N router to get the full function out of it.

@Wolverine: Thanks and Samsung is my favorite TV brand.

@CoverlessTech: I know but it was actually cheaper then the Wireless-G one at Best Buy so I went with that one. Also at 2.4GHz (which is what my router is at) it supposed to work great.

@Metal_Gear_Sunny: Cool! What is your TV?

@MKHavoc: The TV is great and I love my faceplate and it was only $7. Lol at the L4D reference.

Having your 360 standing up like that is bad news.
Thats how I killed my copy of Fallout 3.

The problem comes from gamers who move the xbox while the disc is spinning. It's better ventilated when its standing up because then the heat goes upwards to the vents instead of being trapped underneath the system.

@Mordukai: Exactly. I never move my system while I'm playing because I'm not an idiot. I also don't have the room to have it horizontal. Vertical looks cooler anyways.

Nice screen! That's a nice TV for sure.

I would be concerned about using it as your monitor for your laptop though. I would go check all the resolution settings first. Many times HDTVs don't work as great monitors because the resolutions supported (I think maybe also the aspect ratio?) is much different than that of actual computer monitors. Making the computer screen not the clearest that it could be. Going into game design, I would think you would want the clearest.

@Azteck

1) Game Marketplace
2) Themes and Gamerpics
3) Go to All Themes or whatever
4) Browse P

And while you are on the Perfect Dark downloads, don't forget to look at the sexy screen shots of the game. It looks so good.

@Azteck: Yeah that's the free Perfect Dark 64 theme. I didn't want to spend any points for themes so when this one came out for free I was all over that.

@DarkGamerOO7: Yep. :)

@Maxszy: Yeah, I've been researching and they have come out with some good things to make it look clear such as using HDMI.

Samsung makes the best HDTV's in my opinion. I've seen side by side comparisons and it's my favorite. In regard to size though, Sharp makes the best Large HDTV's as in 65+ inch LCD's and Plasma's. The Sharp 65" is epic. I personally though like to rock my 13" 1985 Hitachi CRT when playin the 360.
