End of week update

As we head into the weekend, I have a ton of stuff to post and I figured it would be easiest to roll them up in one easy to digest post:

• First of all, congratulations to the following folks who won codes to unlock the full versions of Commanders: Attack of the Genos and Switchball. They were just three of the thousand or so people that correctly answered the trivia questions in last week’s show:

• And while I am on the subject of shows, there will be no show this Sunday as I have a large Spring Cleaning list at home that needs attention. I’ll be back on the air next week. Since there is no show, let me provide some alternative distractions:
  
• Hey, someone got Hip-Hop in my Chessmaster! Proving that it isn’t just politics that makes strange bedfellows, this weekend is the ChessMaster Live: Hip-Hop weekend. Apparently there are prizes.
  
• If you are looking for a good movie to watch this weekend (and you live in the U.S.) check out the Oscar-winning No Country For Old Men now available in HD from the Video Marketplace. This is one of my favorite moves from last year, and well worth the time…especially in HD.
  
• Also, the Video Marketplace section on Xbox.com has received a face lift! You can now get detailed information on the movies and TV episodes available for download from Xbox LIVE.
  
• FPS DLC Reminder: COD4 maps are out now, and the Halo 3 maps drop this Tuesday.
  
• I have been working on a blogroll page that shows a list of what blogs and sites I read on a regular basis. This page is a work in progress, so let me know if you have any sites I should include. I am actually using the share function of Blogline…I wish Google Reader had a simliar feature that allowed me to share my entire list, as opposed to specific items.

In the spare time I do find this weekend, I’ll try to jump in and hit COD4, BFBC or Ikaruga. For reasons unkown, I also have the itch to (re) play BioShock. Maybe it’s Pavlovian since I have been using the game audio I posted last week on my mobile phone.

The weekend is off to a good start: On my way to work this morning, I stopped and chatted with the Verizon crew down the street from me to see what is going on with the fiber they are laying in my neighborhood. From what I can gather from the conversation, I may be riding the light by the end of the year.

That’s all for now….see you on LIVE this weekend.
