Xbox.com’s broken psychicness

On the Xbox Rewards site at the moment there’s a section where you can get a “user type” created, depending on how you use your Xbox. It’s here, if you want to do it. It is, of course, completely broken. Like everything else on xbox.com, whenever I’m asked anything about what I use my Xbox for, I’m careful to point out “Games”. And nothing else. No films, TV, music, social networking, chicken farming or strategic planning. Or Kinect. So I …

The Best of Comment Spam #2

Fool and his money, etc. My main gripe with all of these, but …

The Best of Comment Spam

I get some amazing comment spam on this blog and my Gaming Diary. It almost seems a shame that Akismet swallows it all up before you lovely fellows get a chance to see it. Thankfully, they’re all still archived away – so here are some of my favourites, sanitised so as not to be actual spam any more. I know this is off topic but what should I study in the autumm 2011 -? any advice pls email me ? …

Warranty void if opened

There’s a sticker on the box for my just-arrived copy of Snow Leopard that proclaims that my warranty will be voided if I remove the sticker. Only, the sticker is on the outside of the shrink wrap, so I have to remove it in order to open the box. Genius! Posted via email from deKay’s posterous
