Being busy is not fun.

Being alone at home is not fun.

Both of these premises were mine to enjoy (hate?) the past week.

But instead of my usual moan about how busy things are and about how little I'm blogging, let me jump straight into it.

Yes, E3, the Electronic Entertainment Expo took place last week in all it's gaming glory.

Yes, I know it was last week... like I said, I've been busy.  read more »

So my Xbox 360 has died... for the third time in the last two weeks.

Everytime, I've duly opened it up, tweaked with the screws that apply the Red Ring of Death (RROD) fix and get it up and running again... for about two days.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

So I'm at the point where I might open it once or twice more but I'm just about reaching that point where my Xbox will be defenestrated.  read more »

The last few weeks have been a blur in more aspects than one. Work is hectic, my second job is hectic and my gaming life is hectic.

Well, the last part I guess is my own fault. After all, it's my choice whether or not I pick up that controller.

Only thing is, for the last few days it feels like it's not my choice. I feel compelled to pick up that controller. Especially when the controller is guitar shaped!

I've been rocking out to Guitar Hero III for the past week or two and I have to say, I am hooked.  read more »

I am starting to notice a very worrying trend across South African retail stores.

Less and less stores are carrying Xbox 360 games on their shelves.

Over the last month, I've walked through a few stores and with a shock found out that they do not stock Xbox 360 games at all.

These include the following stores:

• Toys R Us
• Reggies
• Some other smaller vendors

I also see other stores like Incredible Connection and CNA dropping their supply of Xbox 360 games. Where once the games occupied three or four racks, they now occupy one.  read more »

I did it! My Xbox 360 is working again.

It was a late night (into early morning) last night, but it was worth it. When you first boot that sucker up and see the ugly Xbox logo spinning around, you almost want to cry.

Anyway, without getting too emotional, let me tell you the story.

I'm not going to go into too much detail here regarding the fix itself (although I will upload pictures of my Xbox in pieces at a later stage) as most of the detail and tutorial sites were laid out in my previous post.  read more »

Well, it finally happened.

My Xbox 360 has stopped functioning.

Or rather, it hasn't. I know it's confusing, but let me explain.  read more »

This will be a quick update.

There's been some great news (for me at least) from across the waters at the E3 Media and Business Summit currently taking place in sunny Los Angeles.  read more »
