New game, new update!

I have decided to buy an Xbox 360 Pro. I know I already had an Xbox 360 Elite, but that was like a year ago, and now I want a 360 again. Plus, I have a good reason, I’m going to be making an XNA game. For those of you that may not know what XNA is, its basically just the software, or framework, that you build games for Windows, and games for the Xbox 360 with. I have not decided what kind of game I’m going to make yet, but I have a lot of ideas, that’s for sure!
On my last post, I talked about how I was making a game for a contest on YoYoGames.com. Well I did begin to make a game for the competition, but like a lot of things with me, it never got completed, for one reason, or another -I don’t even know why I didn’t complete it now :). The game was called ‘Lost Civilization’, and I got it to where it was playable, and was pretty near completion of it, but it still needs a lot of bug smashing to do, among other things. I’ve been wanting to finish it lately, but don’t know when I will get around to it -if i ever will. I might just throw it up the way it is on YoYoGames as a beta -more like Alpha really :). I will however put a screenshot of the game in this post for you all to see!
I have made a few new videos, and put them up on YouTube, but nothing great, just me rambling about things. Mostly just about my new iPhone, and no, not the new iPhone 3G, but the first iPhone. I got it when it was the only iPhone, that shows how updated I keep my blog. I will tell you what, I will promise to post more, if you all tell me you want to see more posts, more often. Just leave a comment on this post, and I’ll see it. It will encourage me to write more, if I know someone is really reading it, LOL!
Well, I’m going to sign off for now, I hope this was a good enough update for you! Till next post, I’ll C-U!

Just checking in.

Okay, so I have decided that my show on hacking, modding, fixing, and all around taking things apart, is going to be called HackThat. I have already registered the domain HackThat.tv, where I will be posting all the videos for the show. I have only just started to get the site up and running, so it does not look like much right now. I am also pretty sure that I am going to be uploading the videos to the internet using MetaCafe, because they offer $5.00, for every 1000 views, which I think is pretty good! Especially sense YouTube only gives me…. hmmm…. well nothing. I also have been working on a game for a competition over on YoYoGames.com. In case you do not know about YoYoGames already, its a website where you can upload games that have been created with a program called Game Maker, that well, lets you make games. The completion is for the best casual video game based on an ancient civilization. I only have about 30 days left to complete the game, and I only have just started on it, so I am trying to make a very simple to make game. I will fill you all in on the game later on, when I get a little more of it done.
