Assassin's Creed on Twitter (or is that Twassassins Tweed?)

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 16:13:43 -0800

Ubisoft has created a great Twitter app to help promote its upcoming Assassin's Creed II. From the Assassin's Creed Twitter page you can sign up to link your Twitter account to the app.

Once you've done that you're off and running. Check your @reply inbox on Twitter because you'll soon receive an assignment to take out a fellow player. To do this, you just go back to the web site and there is a built-in Twitter client where you can choose an action. It ends up looking like this:

@assassins_rome slash @LunabeanMedia.

At any given time, you may find yourself being hunted or being the hunter. At your disposal are a number of weapons and escapes, complete with upgrades as you rise in the ranks of the Twassassins.

We're @lunabean and @LunabeanMedia, so watch your back and "boo!"

If you want more info, you can check out @assassinscreed.

Netflix on Xbox 360 - My favorite thing ever

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 11:25:17 -0800

There is news this week that in November 2009 the Netflix streaming service will be coming to a PS3 near you (here and here).

That piqued my curiosity as Allison and I had recently signed up for Netflix and the streaming service is currently active on the Xbox 360.

You see, our nearby Blockbuster closed and we're stuck with Hollywood Video. They charge $4.39 for new release rentals, so for the $9 that Netflix charges, we can get about 4 movies/month in the mail for the same price as 2 movies at Hollywood.

What I didn't expect to really find useful was the download shows/movies that Netflix offers. Sure, it's nice to think that I'd watch programs on my computer, but really, who wants to snuggle down with his wife to watch TV on a 19" computer screen? Well, not me, that's who!

Today, however, I decided to give the Xbox 360 Netflix app a try. The first step was to download it, which was a breeze (instructions here). In fact, it was really cool. I got an activation code on my TV that I entered into Netflix's website and within a few seconds, my Xbox responded with the message that all systems were go. Very slick.

I now had access to Netflix's entire library of "Watch Instantly" programs, which includes such awesomeness as Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Law and Order SVU (10th season). Dung...dung. Yes, I'm watching it as I write this.

What's more, I can browse Netflix adding programs to my "instant queue" and they'll be ready on my 360, or, I can just browse on the 360 and play my selection right away.

Yup. Right away. Within 30 seconds, my show is playing. That's frikin' cool. What's even better is that the $9 I'm paying to Netflix is now not just a good value for DVDs, but is a great value when you have access to an entire library of content.

Speaking of entire libraries of content, do you know about the LunaPass? It's our subscription service which gives you instant access to over 200 Lunabean walkthroughs and strategy guides. Seriously, I didn't plan that, it just fit in really well.

Oh, and don't bother me...I'm watching TV! I mean Netflix. I mean TV. Whatever, it's all one now, isn't it?

Touch Screen Dungeons & Dragons? Yes, Please!

Surfacescapes Demo Walkthrough from Visual Story TAs on Vimeo.

What do you get if you combine "The Minority Report" and Dungeons & Dragons? The best thing ever! Duh. If only you could have your own dice and have the screen read the result. Seriously, my dragon skin bag full of dice is wicked jealous of the virtual die.

4yr Update - Oregon AG Investigating Best Buy

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 09:49:18 -0800

As I wrote nearly four years ago during the launch of the Xbox 360, Best Buy did some sketchy bait and switch where they advertised a stand alone system but then required those of us in line to buy an expensive bundle.

I, and many others, complained to the Oregon Attorney General. The other day, I got a call from a lawyer working on the case and it looks like they're going to push forward with some sort of letter to Best Buy in hopes of punishing them (you go!).

I'll let you know if anything comes of this. A little justice for all those poor kids with exact change who had to leave the line would be nice.

How to Unlock Bonus Quidditch - Harry Potter 6 - The Half-Blood Prince

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 10:49:22 -0800

UPDATE The below code unlocks a bonus dueling stage, not Bonus Quidditch. If anybody knows how to unlock it, please let me know! /UPDATE

When I wrote Lunabean's Harry Potter: HBP Walkthrough there was one thing I just couldn't unlock: Bonus Quidditch.

I figured that it would unlock once I earned all crests. Nope. I then figured if I got all of the Quidditch badges it would unlock. Nope. Maybe all badges in everything? Nope. So, I searched the interwebs and what did I find? That many people were having this issue and there was no solution. WTF?

Now over a month later, an answer has surfaced. It's a code, dammit!!! I no longer have the game so I have yet to try it out, but according to various sources, it seems that if you follow the below instructions, you'll unlock Bonus Quidditch. Yay!!! (The disappointing part? Bonus Quidditch is lame.)

Go to "Rewards" (in there you will see "Badges" and "Credits" along with how many Crests you have found) and with your D-pad enter: RRDDLRLRLRS
R = Right
D = Down
L = Left
S = Start

O'Reilly Airs Viral "Guitar Hero" Ad

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 10:23:49 -0800

As Kotaku points out, Bill O'Reilly recently commented on a supposedly viral "Guitar Hero 5" ad where the song titles to be included in the game are written across blackout strips on naked models.

While the hypocrisy of giving air time to a viral ad that you are disgusted by always gets me, the assertion that perhaps the show was paid to air it is a new low.

And, what's with the "no pun intended" comment at the end? Heebie-jeebies!
