I'm having some trouble with Xbox.com. First off, I can't figure out where to put my gamercard in the HTML for this page. Second, why isn't there a way to look at someone's gamercard on the Xbox.com site, without them being your friend, or signing in to see your own. If anyone has a solution to either of these problems, please leave a comment.
I played G.R.A.W. for three hours yesterday. I got through several levels and earned a bunch of points. It's the best game I've ever seen. Incredible levels, beautiful graphics, excellent gameplay, it's the first game I've seen that would convince me to buy a 360. It really shows the next-gen capacities of the 360.
I've also heard that 360s are starting to show up in stores, I'm going to stop by a few places this week and see if it's true.

Project Origami turns out to be a Blackberry competitor. Just a pocket PC type PDA. I must confess I was looking for a PSP rival.
Also Ghost Recon, Advanced Warfighter, or G.R.A.W., came out yesterday. It looks excellent.

I found a new author in HBO's fanfiction. His name is Radont, and he's an excellent author. Check out his stuff here.
GamesFirst had an article up today about a guy named Will Wright, and a project he's been working on. He addresses the development of large games requiring large amounts of money, memory, and hardware to run. The article features a link to a video of a presentation he gave at last years Game Developer's Conference. He's a very comfortable speaker, and the video is worth watching.
