A lot of friends and church members are getting a golf tournament together and its this Saturday. I'm in a pretty awesome 4-man team for this tournament so hopefully we can win this. I'm about a 9 Handicap and most of the guys playing in the tournament are very very amateur. Along with my brand new Odyssey putter, my team and I should be able to stomp the other teams. That sounds horrible to say, but it must be done...Here's to hopefully winning this tournament!

 Evidently Blizzard hates me or something. Starcraft has to be my favorite video game series of all time. Because it is the first game I got REALLY REALLY good at. I was one of the top ranked in North America for a time :)
 
So my question to all of you is: if somebody has an extra beta invite, could you help out a fanboy?

So I bought my Xbox 360 Elite back in early 2007 when they first came out. I've had no problems with it until now. The system keeps freezing in whatever it is doing. Whether I'm playing a game, or watching a movie, or even just navigating the dashboard. Unfortunately, I am not getting the RRoD which would give me a HUGE clue as to what is wrong with it. It just keeps freezing and not displaying any error messages and none of the lights around the ring are changing color. I have the 360 well ventilated and evidently that doesn't seem to help. Does anybody have a clue as to what I could do to fix it? Or any thoughts as to what I could do to force it to RRoD so that I can send it in to Microsoft and not pay for the repairs?

I know everyone else has this game already and it came out almost 2 years ago, but I finally just bought COD4. So here is my perspective of COD4 living up to its hype.
First off, every story line in this game has already been ruined for me from listening to pod casts and hearing it from friends. But I will say that despite everything being ruined, the story line was still quite amazing. I've never felt so disheartened in a FPS until the scene of the nuke exploding. Or I've never felt a sense of urgency until you are given a pistol and have time for only one shot in the final mission of that game. So overall, the single player campaign most definitely lives up to all the hype that COD4 has had.

What about the Multiplayer? The multiplayer is addictive! However, because I have come into this game so late, the learning curve is quite steep. But that doesn't mean I haven't done well. I have only had the game two weeks and I'm already lvl 10. I know thats not amazing, but I usually learn very quick with shooters.

So overall I will say that COD4 did live up to all the hype that I heard about it. It really makes me appreciate the recent shooters that have taken ideas from it. Such as Killzone 2. My thanks go to Infinity Ward for making an amazing FPS that will keep me coming back to it for months...or at least until Modern Warfare 2 comes out!
