Random Thoughts of a Random mind
E3 Dreams...

Please Santa make these dreams come true.

Dead Rising 2 - More mini chainsaws and more zombies. The first game was great fun. There needs to be co-op.

Rock Band 2 Featuring The Beatles - The music rights could be up in the air. I hope they land in Rock Band and not their own stand along game.

Kingdom Hearts 3 - featuring The Incredibles and Sword in the Stone

More to come

What are they thinking...

From the start of the internet people have come up with a name to describe them. I choice "rentfn" because i am a huge fan of the Musical Rent and because some beat me to rentfan on AIM. Although i never saw them log on. Some people come up with long names with many numbers and letters. Some people just use their name.

When Mircosoft put Live out on the market they wanted us to pick one title for ourselves. But make sure you are proud of the name cause it will charge you to ever change it. A few months ago the powers that be had been receiving complaints from the community that the gamertag "theGAYERgamer" was not acceptable. They made the person who owned the account change their name. At least they didn't charge them.

Its not for me to decide if that name was unacceptable or not. They have a code of conduct and decided that the name might offend someone. Or at least they claimed that they received comments about the name. Last night they forced someone to change their gamertag. The gamertag in question – RichardGaywood.

This is someone's name. This person wanted his online persona to be him. He didn't want to hide under a clever nickname. Just wanted to be himself. Microsoft released this statement:

"We want the Xbox LIVE community to have the freedom to express themselves, but we also have a responsibility to create an inclusive, safe environment," said Microsoft's Stephen Toulouse. "While it may be clear to some that Gaywood is a legitimate surname, it may not be obvious to other Xbox LIVE members. In this case, a complaint was filed by a member of the community, requiring the Xbox LIVE team to examine the gamertag within the context of the Xbox LIVE Terms of Use. Based on the these guidelines, it was necessary for the gamertag to change."

Chuck Palahniuk's new book is out today...
Went to B&N and they had a special section for Chuck Palahniuk but they didn't have the new book. Very upsetting. So i had to go down the street to the Borders. They had it. It will be nice to read on the beach next week in Maine! Anyone else getting it?

"Lackluster Awesomeness." In the thirteenth volume of Awesomeness, I neither review or include gameplay footage of MGS 4 making this volume quite, lackluster. But hey, this V-Blog isn't called Awesomeness for nothing...
