Chewbury’s Xbox – 6/15/2007

Good thing I have access to Chewbury’s entire MP3 collection streamed off his computer. It keeps me busy on days like yesterday when he never shows up to game. Maybe Chewbury didn’t realize it, but that is a streak of 11 days! Right out the freakin’ window! How difficult would it have been to load

Chewbury’s Xbox – 6/14/2007

Chewbury must have heard my calling… I was practically startled when his greasy finger pounded my power button. I mean come on… be a little gentle… I am fragile. Just some helpful advice for someone with a 245 gamerscore. He rocked out to Jetpac Refuelled, Oblivion, Geometry Wars Evolved, Viva Piñata, Alien Hominid HD, and

Some people change their gamer picture too often… some people change it too little… Mine changes just about right! Check it! Sweetness in full effect!

It’s a sorry state of affairs when your games console posts to your blog more than you do, but it looks like that’s what’s happening. Truth be told, my gaming ennui has finally ended with the arrival of the 360 (and that’s something I’d never have expected!). It really is a very lovely console and

Chewbury’s Xbox – 6/12/2007

Chewbury decided to ride the gamer-train yesterday. I will admit it… I was happy. What is the gamer score? 245 is what it is! He made some progress on Geometry Wars Evolved, Oblivion, and then I needed a nap. Don’t judge me! It’s a lot of work pushing all those pixels.

Chewbury’s Weekly Recap – 6/11/2007

Someone ask for a weekly recap? Even if you didn’t, here it is: Not many Xboxes can claim seven days of gaming in a row. Last week Chewbury and I can… and we will… and it feels so good! We added 180 points of gamerscore. Points are good! Those 7 achievements were worth it I

Oblivion (360)

This is a game that I’ve actually owned for months, albeit on the PC. Sadly, I never got past the tutorial area because it was effectively a slideshow on my modest hardware. Not so on the 360 though – it chews it up and spits it out in a semi-digested morass of shiny smooth loveliness.

Chewbury’s Xbox – 6/10/2007

When Chewbury was walking by I pretended to be off. I think it tricked him into turning me on for a few games. Gamer score stands at 195. That is a boost of 55 points over last time! He rallied Hexic HD, Geometry Wars Evolved gaining 1 achievement, Oblivion adding 1 achievement, and then I

Chewbury’s Xbox – 6/9/2007

Chewbury showed up yesterday and we were like a superhero team together. I make a great sidekick! Gamerscore stands at 140. Up up and away right? That is an improvement of 20 points over last time! He played Pac-Man C.E., Geometry Wars Evolved, Eets: Chowdown, DEAD RISING acquiring 1 achievement, and I think there was
