Seen it all before...

Now I'm sure you've probably all seen this before, but...I wanted to have them on my blog anyways so deal with it! Some of my favorite youtube videos!

Windows Media Center Extenders!

Well, judging by the title you probably wouldn't have guessed this post was about an Xbox huh? huh?

Anyways, for the past few days I've been experimenting with my router(Belkin), my pc(Vista), the family pc(XP), and my Xbox(Guess...). What for you might ask...well...to play all my favorite tv shows and movies over my tv via wireless link to my Xbox that's what for! I didn't even know this when I purchased my Xbox360 but it doubles as a "Media Extender" what that means is supposedly you can use it as somewhat of a tivo with playback from your PC that you connect it to.

After 5 hours of talking with both Belkin and Microsoft, I finally gave up trying to use it as an extender and settled for being able to have it look through My Documents, find videos, music, pictures, and display/play them on my TV. Sure I lost some functionality, but at least it works darnit! (By the way, as a Media Extender the Xbox can only hook up to ONE pc, but as just a normal Xbox, it can view and play any files in any shared folders on ANY computer in your network!)

What this Means: I can now download my favorite anime from www.dattebayo.com (Currently Bleach ep. 170) and play it over my TV (or any tv in the house) using my xbox while I'm on the PC doing other things, chatting it up with friends, grinding/fishing in WoW, all that good stuff.

Also, no Blu-Ray Drive on your Xbox? No big deal! You can stream HD content EASILY.

Basically, I'm getting a 42" Toshiba LCD here in...about 3 weeks, I can set that tv up in my room, hook my xbox up to it, and play anything I want on it from my computer Note: I'm buying a DVI to HDMI cable as well ($35) so I can play PC games over it if I want.

Criticizing GTAIV, you're doing it wrong...

Alrighty! To kick off this blog let's start with a little rant on the Media shall we?

This morning, while watching WISHTV8, my local news station, they aired a nice little story on Grand Theft Auto IV, the next installment in the run(drive) and gun gaming series that just hit shelves this tuesday. The greatest thing about how my local news introduced the subject was that they were practically praising the game simply for how many copies it would sell. Quickly though, they turned to their normal facades of "Video game violence, baaaaad" as we've all surely seen before.

What makes this so funny and ironic though, is the fact that while trying to discredit the game, they quickly cut away, cutting off their own reporters to show "Breaking News". We ALL know it doesn't stop there, this "Breaking News" involved showing a picture of a car with bullet holes in it, and then doing a short story on a car that was pushed into a lake/pond/body of water. After that they decided it'd be a good idea to go back to the car with the bullet holes...reporting on some nice wholesome road rage and how someone just happened to get shot in the leg and shoulder I believe it was.

I don't know about G4TV's Epic Fail of the day, but this one surely takes the cake for my list of dumbest media move for today.

Tune in next week to see "Damnit Leroy!" or "How I got Shot: The Self-Inflicted Story" here on Insta-Scream (tm)
