Pretty LED’s in Nara’s Xbox

Nara's Shop
Well, once again Nara Grrl decided to void her warranty and play with some LED’s. This time she cracked open her Xbox 360.

Naked Xbox

The system cycles through various colors and is very pretty.

Good job Nara!  Now go rip something else apart.

Xbox 360 Controller with LED’s

Nara's Shop

Nara Grrl gets bored easily and likes to void her manufacturer’s warranty by doing things like this!

She actually did put it all back together again.  She also switched out the controller shell and insists that it is very soft to the touch compared to the stock shell.

Fallout 3 Review – In Case You Missed it!

FALLOUT 3 Poster 

Pros:

Long, interactive quests with multiple dialog options.

 

Several downloadable storylines, with new weapons, armor and collectible

 

Vast, open-ended Wasteland full of unique buildings and true-to-life landmarks

 

Use the Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System to pop off sweet headshots on Raiders.

 

If you’re a collector of things, this game has plenty of in-game items to hoard, fashion into a custom weapon, or shoot at baddies!

 

You can be a goodie two-shoes, savior of the Wasteland or an Evil, destroyer of humanity. Or walk the line, as a neutral character.

Cons:

 

As with any DLC, you have to pay 800MSP for each expansion pack.

 

At times, travelling through the Wasteland is tedious, fighting Mutants and Raiders at every new location.

 

Has a “Post-Apocalyptic Oblivion, with guns” feel…which can be good, or bad.

 

You gain XP too quickly. Once you’re a level 20, it’s over unless you purchase the ‘Broken Steel’ add-on. 

The main story is a little weak. It’s the side quests that keep the game interesting

Bottom Line: 

Whether you’re about to take on that Super Mutant Behemoth or try to outrun the armor-clad Enclave, be sure to stock up on Nuka-Cola Quantum and Jet before you venture out into The Radioactive Wasteland.

 

Nara’s Score –  8/10

GOW2 – First to Play Event

Well, last Friday afternoon Nara, Opal, Supa and myself trekked down to the Experience Music Project & Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame in Seattle.  We waited in line for 2.5 hours so that we could be the very first to play an unreleased multiplayer map from the Gears of War 2: All Fronts Collection. There was also a GOW creators panel that we accidentally missed BUT we got to play one of the maps.  :D

 GOW 2 Event

 It was a pretty cool set-up and luckily not too many people came so we got to play a lot.

 Horde Session

 You can’t tell but they are playing some Horde on one of the new maps.

 COG Tags

We enjoyed the COG tags…made of real metal even.  Thank you!
