November 10 Bradtastic Space: Live, XBOX 360, GoW 2, Messenger & MoreAside from Wurdle and Fieldrunners on the iPhone, I do my gaming (when I get the chance) on the XBOX 360. I hated the first XBOX (and the stupidly-huge controller) and loved the Playstation 2. Now I like 360 and dislike the PS3. The only reason I'd get a Playstation 3 is for the Blu-Ray player, but this year hasn't really been about movies to me, and with Netflix making moves with MS, Amazon's service alongside Apple's iTunes Store, movie-on-a-disc is just... yesterday. Prior to system-launch while considering a (then overpriced and scarce) PS3 purchase, the game line-up had only two compelling offers, (then) exclusive to Sony: Metal Gear Solid 4 and Final Fantasy XIII. I figured other stuff would release and make it more than a movie machine... but now, FFXIII is slated for 360, and I can do without one 10/10 "perfect" game. Sony's network just can't compare with Live. And now that I have an ASUS Eee PC (netbook), I'm going to be using Windows Live Messenger more... and I thought, heck, I'm doing my gaming on 360 while chatting with Live Messenger buddies, why not write about it here? Better than just being at Gamespot I guess... though I kinda like the idea of contributing to the community by reviewing the stuff that I like (and hate), allowing myself to be a part of it is agreeing to lower my value (and standards). There are some stupid, immature people there... anything posted there will simply be mixed in with the masses of crap. Anyhow. I like Live stuff. I'm an Apple fan and Mac OS user, but I like much of the Live offerings. The mail program is fine, and sending ink IMs is awesome. I use Live Writer to post at Bradtastic Inkblog, aka bradchin.com. This post is being written in Live Writer. I like playing Microsoft Live Arcade games, though I'm only good at a few of 'em. I don't dedicate the time to gaming required to be really good, but I have fun. I'm interested in playing Horde-mode Gears of War 2 with people... and I'm wondering what my gold-plated weapons will look like. I'm recreating this "Space," and rewriting some of the "about" pages I have at my sites. All part of crafting and maintaining that online-image and presence. Along with AoI, I'm offering consulting to several people, showing others how to use the web in advantageous ways. New agilecard coming soon.

I own multiple XBOX 360 consoles, including an Elite. I can't use my iPod with the system, because Microsoft sent me a new one instead of fixing mine, and for some reason, my HD DVD player isn't working. Yes, I know that the technology is "dead" or at least "dying" and that Blu-Ray is the dominant format. I don't have a Playstation 3 yet, because for me, force-feedback > gyroscope, Live! > Network. But I think that might change. I'd really like to get a Wii, too. I'd also really like a new PSP, I've been playing Crisis Core quite a lot, and my batteries are at 50-60% capacity and the system's screen has a small crack. February 23 inkrI've been having much-fun inking at http://bradchin.com (called Inkr). Check it out! Also, the I'M making a difference program has been doing really well.

BRAD CHIN'S SECOND INKPOST
I've had a tablet computer for some time now; but when I first got mine (a Fujitsu), tablets were relatively new technologies and information was even more scarce than now. After a while and after I read gottabemobile.com, I found Sumocat's Scribbles- a blogspot/ Blogger site entirely done with ink. I must say that control of handwriting is pretty tough on the tablet, But I like the idea of actually "writing out" my journal/blog posts instead of just typing. It's not that I'd abandon my typing and other writing, perhaps, it's just a phase. The more I tried to structure my life to push technology away, the more it crept back in. I'm sure that that has something to do with the injury and being "stuck" at home so much. Or perhaps its just "the times." Anyway, the subjects that I really want to write/type/blog about I can't yet; magic and "gaming," (aka "sarging") at least not yet, before I would and also before I got a show or book out. I would like to write/blog professionally. Anyway, I should get back to apartment hunting. Gotta move. Brad January 10 BRADTASTIC SPACES INKBLOG 001
BRADTASTIC SPACES InkBlog 01.10.2008 Hey everyone! This is my inkpost, and as always, I have to shout-out to the old "father of ink blogging" Mark Sumimoto. I would never have made this and I wouldn't have gotten off of the ground if it wasn't for his "guidance," even though he was a pretty busy guy and didn't offer too-much actual "instruction." It was more than enough.
I'm using Windows Live Writer and the Ink Blog v.1.0, an Ed Holloway add-on that was originally appreciated but very lackluster in Version Beta. Now it has lining and recognition—makes "our lives" much easier. There's also many other options and colors that I'd like to experiment with; I had that "darkside" iWeb "test-blog," I like demo-ing and review/researching these apps, software/s, services and tools, ALL HANDS ON. I don'tknow that I'll continue to use Spaces; since XP and Mac OSX 10.2, I haven't been much of an 'MS' (sorry M$) fan, but them Windows Mobile 6 cell phones are pretty sweet, and if Vista can be what they said, well, "aero" looks neat. Alrighty Everyone, Brad Chin |
