I have had an incredibly busy summer. Recently I realized that this had led to my lack of posting for months. Now that school has started back up and life is slightly more stable, I decided to craft a new entry on GAX. Over the course of summer my 360 was mostly gone or not working because of the third RRoD. WoW lost my interest for the time being and thus I unsubed. During this time I found myself looking to play some older games that were highly praised, but that I had not played. I found out… Continue

I have not written a post in awhile, and tonight I felt that this should be remedied. There hasn't been an incredible amount of new developments, but I will write on them none-the-less. After my 360 red-ringed on me for a second time, I wrote a post describing my frustrations. I have had it back now for about five days. The first day I got my repaired 360 back, I set it up and played some Halo3 with a few of my roomates. Not thirty minutes with my 360 powered on, my 360 freezes, shuts off, and… Continue

A cohesive and overarching stoyline. This may be applied to a more li… Continue

Yes, thats right. My Xbox 360 red ringed again. This was my second, and this is really starting to get on my nerves. I must give credit to Microsoft though. They handled the situation very well. They sent me a box to ship my Xbox back to them in three days, and in two weeks I should have a new Xbox back. All this at no cost to me. After I get my box back I may get GTA4, since I'm hearing so many people rave over this title. In other news, I'm still enjoying WoW immensly. I just got the Battlegr… Continue

I've been back on WoW for a little while now, and I have found there are some things I am really enjoying, and other aspects of the game that I dislike. I have decided to write out some of the items that are at the top of my head: Dislikes: 1) How long it often takes for quest items to drop. On some quests it is fine, but for others having to kill 5 or more of "x" for one item out of ten is a bit obnoxious in my opinion. Every other one, or one in three seems more appropriate. 2) How many time… Continue
