Forza 2 Photos-batch 1

Hello, a-Musings readers, and here are 3 Forza Motorsport 2 photos from my Xbox 360. I got these photos here by uploading them in-game, then logging in using my gamertag @ forzamotorsport.net . Note that only the five most recently uploaded photos are stored by Forza's servers. Enough talk, picture time!
Speeders beware...

Poor Gallardo Superleggera!

Fun with a Gallardo Superleggera...

More photo batches coming soon...

More XBOX 360capades...

It's again time to sink deep into the world of my Xbox 360 (Sorry that 90% of my newer posts are about video games, I'm currently obsessed with my X360 Elite!!). My next post will not be about video games, I promise! If you haven't read my other post, "FLASH DRIVEy XBOX 360capades", please read it before you read this post. Anyway, let's proceed...

As you might have read in my "Spelling Joys" post, my parents have generously gifted me 2000 Microsoft Points to spend on my Xbox 360. I have not squandered my newfound video-game currency wealth; I still have 650 Points left after buying the following well-researched items:

1. 400 points-Marble Blast Ultra-Xbox Live Arcade game-see leftmost image
   
2. 400 points-UNO-Xbox Live Arcade game-see rightmost image
3. 100 points-UNO PGR3 theme deck-game add-on.
4. 400 points-Forza 2 December Car Pack-game add-on.
5. 50 points- Forza 2 Peugeot 908 car-game add-on
   

Marble Blast Ultra is a game where you manipulate a marble through wild courses in a beautiful world, Astrolabe Arena, whilst picking up gems, struggling to make it to the finish before par time. UNO is Microsoft's version of the classic card game, customizable with theme decks, which skin the UNO cards, environment, and add a special card (i.e. the 35th Anniversary theme deck, pictured, includes a card where the next player must play a 3 or 5 of the current color.) The December Car Pack adds 11 cars to Forza 2, including the Audi R8/Le Mans Quattro, Ferrari FXX, and Jaguar XK Coupe.

Only time will tell how I will spend my remaining 650 Microsoft Points...

FLASH DRIVEy XBOX 360capades

Sorry about not posting in centuries (I was having too much fun with my SanDisk Cruzer Micro 2GB and my Xbox 360 Elite!)! Anyway, here's a little bit about my two digital holiday presents: one giving me my own personal 2GB, and one giving me vicarious driving enjoyment!

In November, I got my SanDisk Cruzer Micro 2GB flash drive for only $20 (a steal!), and since have loaded it with PortableApps, in addition to a modified copy of my Documents folder. However, I still can't get the PortableApps launcher to autorun once I insert the drive...


In late December, my generous parents gifted me an Xbox 360 Elite
! That's right, not just the hard drive-deprived Xbox 360 Arcade, nor the average Xbox 360 Pro, but the Xbox 360 Elite, loaded with 120GB of pure HDD space (sadly factory-clogged by Xbox Live Arcade game demos, getting you to feed Microsoft more money), a sleek black finish for controller and console, and HDMI output, delivering the delicious 1080p graphics of that custom ATI GPU in the best way possible. (Stuck in Acronym-Land? Sorry!) Anyway, I also got Burnout Revenge (stress relief + gorgeous cars, until they crash... + amazing real-world locations + free downloadable content, or DLC + $30 price + fun = !!!), in addition to the three bundled games: Marvel Ultimate Alliance (100% waste, I wish I could sell this game, but it came in the same case as Forza 2 :() , Forza Motorsport 2 (photorealistic graphics + amazing cars + astonishingly difficult, beautiful tracks + realistic physics + PHOTO MODE!!! + DLC = mixed bag), and Hexic HD (a full Xbox Live Arcade game on the HDD, the MSN game, now in HD on your X360). I have been having mondo fun with my X360 Elite, but I still wish Burnout Revenge would let you save more than 20 paltry Burnout Clips (I have 120 GB, people!), and that Burnout Revenge also had actual new cars up for download, instead of promotionally repainted versions of in-game cars.

Those are my two excellent holiday presents. Sound off about my gifts and gripes in the comments to this post!

UPDATE:
Here's my Xbox Live gamercard!
