Hey folks. I'm back. Sort of. Life has been less than great lately, but I have been working on a couple projects. One of them is a video for G4's Attack of the Show user-created commercial contest. (Ok, this was my friend's project, but I helped out by playing a zombie). You guys should check it out (along with the other videos) at http://www.ziddio.com/contestGallery.zd?dispatch=paginate&reportType=3001&contest=63

My group's vid (Zombie Love) is currently rated #1, but we could still use support. Please feel free to register and rate our video well if you feel it deserves it!

Also, hopefully by next paycheck I'll be able to acquire the means to play XBL again. I've missed you guys. (Oh, and if you were wondering, I'm the zombie who runs into the window).

Awesome movie. (none / 0)

I'll definitely vote for that.
*Off-topic: Is anyone else having trouble with the Zune Marketplace? When I try to sign in it just says "An error occured while connecting to Zune Marketplace." I want to get the Zune Pass so if it still doesn't work should I just make another acount.

  have any problems earlier today with it. Good choice with the pass though, I have downloaded over 2000 songs since I got it (and I already had about the same amount on my zune already). It's great because if you find one song you like, you can download the whole CD and then more if you end up liking the artist. I have actually found a few bands I really like through the similar bands feature.

    I just tried getting on the Marketplace on my Desktop, and it worked fine. I'll just have to re-install it probably on my laptop. I MUST say though, for just having my Zune for 2 days, I LOVE IT. The Zune software's sooo easy to use and navigate, and plus the the Zune Pass, that's the best thing I've ever encountered with MP3 players. Out of over 100 songs I got, there was only one artist I couldn't get, but their Library has a LOT more Metal in it than I thought. I gotta give props to Microsoft for having such a fierce competitor to the iPod seeing as it's been out awhile longer than the Zune.

      also get new CDs on the marketplace the day they come out. I just downloaded the new Mars Volta CD (weird ass band) that came out Tuesday for free.

        for me. Before the update it would once every few weeks, but never since (although I don't use my zune very often, mostly listen to music through my computer).

        is actually pretty damn sweet. I'll admit some of their shit is weird, but I really like some of their songs

        saw them live, but they didn't fit the arena. They would have sounded MUCH better in a smaller club/bar.

    I completely lost respect for AOTS since they lost their 'tech' aspect.
