  • Upgraded WordPress for mrkniceguy.com

    Welcome to the latest WordPress software for mrkniceguy.com! What’s that? You can’t see anything different?

    Well, yeah.. it’s not really a cosmetic upgrade or anything. It is faster, sleeker, and just generally better although it’s all behind the scenes. From my perspective and MrsKniceGuy’s access, there are at least a few cosmetic bonuses to the latest WordPress 2.6. Here’s a peek…

    Knice isn’t it! At least 419,956+ agree (as of the time of this post) and have downloaded version 2.6!

  • 100 Posts!

    Just shy of two years, mrkniceguy.com finally hit the 100 posts milemarker! Thanks to events like E3, new Halo 3 maps, Jack Thompson, and general video game tomfoolery, we are rocking along. And of course, our newest blogger, MrsKniceGuy will help us get to 200 posts in half that time. And last but not least, you! Hooray!

  • More on the Fall 2008 Dashboard

    Major Nelson posted more details on the previously mentioned dashboard. Some exciting new features coming down the pipe.

    Play from the hard drive: The ability to copy your game to the hard drive on your Xbox. Play right from the drive and save your disk. You will have to insert the disk to confirm ownership though (of course).

    Web Access to LIVE Marketplace: Buy downloads from the web and have it download automagically to your console. New maps, TV and movies or even arcade games.

    Xbox LIVE Party System: Create a party of up to 8 friends and hang out! Play games together, watch Netflix together (sweet!) or share personal photos. And finally, chat with more than 2 people!

    Avatars: Mentioned earlier, this is your personally created character. You can play games with your avatar as well. We’ll have to wait to see more on what that is about.

    and new display support: If you use a widescreen LCD computer monitor, you know what I mean when I say “sweet! 1440X900 support!” That’s right, Xbox 360 will do 16×10 aspect ratio. Awesome.

    Microsoft Xbox 360 FTW!
