I know what you’re thinking.  ‘What happens in case of a tie?’  Well, in case of a tie, a phone call will be placed to those individuals and random questions will be asked.  You’ll be asked questions until one of you is left standing.  (it’s the truth…Clive Gorman told me)

Ready for another Xbox 360 dashboard update?  Well starting tomorrow, all Xbox 360 owners will be able to download this free system update to improve and add new features.  John Porcaro at Gamerscoreblog just released the fine details of this highly anticipated system update.  If you’ll recall, this is the update to enable 1080p support for the Xbox 360.

Eragon Xbox 360Check out some new screens of Eragon from VU Games.  I’ve been waiting for the movie for quite a bit and I hope the game can hold me until the movie releases. 

In the game, players will live the legend as Eragon, and with his mighty dragon Saphira ride into epic battle against an evil king’s sinister forces. Players will be able to share the adventure with a friend with two player co-op featuring team attack bonuses and dragon fight/flight combo gameplay.

Head over to check out the screenshots!

It’s headed to the Xbox 360 next month…November 14.

It’s late.  I thought I’d share some history and remind you all to switch your clocks back tonight.  That’s right…it’s Daylight Savings Time at which time we ‘Fall Back’ one hour at 2AM on Sunday October 29.2AM  Set your clocks back one hour. 

What else is significant about this day?  Well it’s my BIRTHDAY!  Go Deacon, it’s ya birthday…we gone party like it’s ya birthday!  Yes, that’s right.  My birthday is October 29th so I’ll get another hour of sleep to get ready to be older.

And I just had a thought…there’s this game called Splinter Cell: Double Agent that would be a really nice birthday gift for a person who had a birthday on October 29 wouldn’t it?  (hint, hint lol)

Well, enjoy the extra hour ladies and gents!  That’s one more hour of Xbox Live tonight before you have to go to bed.

Happy Friday for everyone that it is a Friday for at least.  You wanted a Friday show and well I’m giving you a Friday show.  It’s the highly anticipated return of Five Calls!  It’s also featuring a community guest directly from the Xbox 360 community, nbafreak93.

Look for Episode #20 this weekend to dig down into what’s been hot inside the community this week…can someone say Halo 3 overload.

Have you heard of this program?  You probably have an Xbox Ambassador on your friend’s list and didn’t even know it.  They’re out there…in full force waiting to help new Xbox Live members and existing members alike have a better experience with Xbox Live.  How do I know?  Well, because I’m one of them.  I’m an Xbox Ambassador along with hundreds of gamers that you probably didn’t know.

I mentioned the program in Episode #18 as well as other episodes but I thought I’d reintroduce everyone to the program by writing this piece.  Everyone’s favorite Zuma player, TriXie, started the program several months ago with the first free weekend for Xbox Live Gold.  It was started to give new users a friendly voice and a good introduction to the service. 

What is an Xbox Ambassador?

Xbox Ambassadors are community members who have been around the block and are willing to show the new guys around.  An Xbox Ambassador puts ’having a good experience with Xbox Live’ at the top of their ‘to-do’ list and they share/introduce those experiences to other members of Xbox Live.

Here are some more goodies from the Fifa 07 Community Day I attended last week.  Thanks to Electronic Arts for capturing these photos for the crew.  If you look closely, you’ll see yours truly right at the top right diggin’ the two giant screens.  (yes those are the giant screens I played on)

Fifa 07 Community

I posted more from the event on Unscripted’s Flickr page.  Check them out here.  There are also some new screenshots of Fifa 07 in the FIFA 07 Next Gen picture set.

Remember these?  If you are the owner of an Xbox 360, then you should know the Xbox 360 Laws like the back of your hand.  The Xbox 360 Laws were started back in July after watching a commercial of the famed ‘Man Laws’ from Miller Lite.  I figured that if beer drinkers could get together to make their experience better, then hey why can’t Xbox 360 owners do the same.  So they were born…the Xbox 360 Laws to bring peace to the land and honor to the way every Xbox 360 owner treats his or her console.  (while ofcourse providing a bit of humor in the process)

Xbox 360 Laws

Have you cited any violators of the 360 Laws?  Have you taken the oath and reserved your seat amongst the Council of Enforcers?

Latest Xbox 360 Law:

360 Law: Video chatting is fun.  Video chatting while performing any rendition of Risky Business is not fun.  Leave your clothes on when the Vision Camera is on.
