XBOX 360 and Netflix have joined together to offer Netflix movies on the XBOX360. Bummer that they do it at a gamers convention.

Hopefully netflix will also come to the PS3

1. Get a big group of guys to start a diversion, a big fake fight.

2. While this fight is going on, security and who ever else will be occupied with stoping the fight.

3. While the fake fight goes on some on sneaks up. goes under the curtain, and snap some shots of what ever it is.

4. Upload Photos to net, so we can speculate.

Maybe it's XNAnywhere? Some new hand held unit that lets you download games via WiFi (or download them from your Xbox 360 via USB) and play them; for a price, either per game or monthly charge. Now that would be cool. If it isn't than maybe they should consider creating something like this; Imagine, REZ HD, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Metal Slug, Poker Smash and more on the go! Sign me up! Make it happen Microsoft!

Yeah, I've made:

a) A chess game to play with my kids local multi-player, since we didn't have anything until SpyGlass -- which failed to give local multi-player -- then finally Chessmaster.

b) A port of Ultima IV until I realized that what's the point of spending tons of time on something that'd EA would shut down at first opportunity if I ever gave it away. =/

c) Some Rogue-like code.

d) Some stuff to explore new gameplay ideas.

Basically piddlin', exploring concepts, etc. Nothing really intended to be a commercial game.

And 2D represent! 3D just isn't worth the time for me to work with -- I can prototype so much more rapidly using tile-based games. =)

]]> <![CDATA[XNA Announcement Shrouded In Secrecy, Actual Shroud]]> Does anyone else remember back during the E3 that the 360 was announced that they were talking about users being able to purchase in-game content that was made by other users in the marketplace? I know they were talking about custom shirts for characters in Tony Hawk, but that is the only example they gave that I can remember right now.

I think that needs to happen. Let us use XNA to create that type of in-game content, and then let us sell it on the marketplace. No real currency would ever have to change hands either, it could be all point based.

Sorry, I'm just kind of talking out of my ass.
