It’s Monday and it didn’t start out too well as I experienced a computer crash. Everything is okay now obviously as I bring another Monday Morning Scripted to ya. This one will be brief and to the point. I didn’t get to see any movies. I wanted to see The Bourne Ultimatum but wasn’t able to. I did rent some movies which turned out to be crap. The Hills Have Eyes 2 and Pathfinder.
I had fun at the Ringling Brothers event this weekend. For those of you who listened to the live show, you heard what a train ride was like here in Dallas with the DART service. I saw some beautiful white tigers and some other cool things. The food was free in the American Airlines Center suite I was in. (job related; BALLIN’)
I should have Episode #45 up sometime this week if not tonight. I was going to announce the winners of the Spyglass Board Games giveaway on the show but I figured I’d serve them up here. Congratulations to Daz and Squidpunch! You two will be receiving codes shortly.
Well that’s it. Let’s get started on another fabtastic week!
Checkmate! Have you been sitting around with a zero Microsoft Points balance craving some Spyglass Board Games multiplayer fun? I figured there were a few of you contemplating a massive raid at your local retail store for some Microsoft Points to play the first video chat enabled game for the Xbox 360. Don’t steal just yet. I have a much easier way to score Spyglass Board Games!
Thanks to my friends at Strange Flavour, I have a few codes to give out to a couple of U360 freaks out there. Free codes coupled with the chance to play this game one on one with Lady J and you have an incredible giveaway I say.
How can I score a redeem code for Spyglass?
Aaron Fothergill mentioned two alternate names for Checkers and Reversi in his exclusive Q&A here at U360. What are those two alternate names?
Send me a message with the answers via Xbox Live or email and I’ll pick the winners. Easy peezy eh? I thought so too. Thanks again to Aaron and the crew for giving U360 fans a chance to win.
I had a chance to kidnap Strange Flavour’s own Aaron Fothergill for an exclusive first look at the Xbox Live Arcade title, Spyglass Board Games. Spyglass is set to debut on Wednesday, August 1 for 400 Microsoft Points.
Aaron and Strange Flavour previously gave fans the first (and only) gesture based game for the Xbox 360, Totemball. They’re at it again alongside Freeverse to provide another first with the video chat feature!
Not much is known about this upcoming title but that’s about to change. I had to travel deep in the heart of the UK for this one so sit down, relax and read as I go one on one with Aaron about Spyglass Board Games. (and no I didn’t really kidnap him; he’s in the UK and I couldn’t cover luggage expenses)
On the heels of an exclusive first look at Spyglass Board Games, allow me to present another first with a look at the Achievements for the game. It looks to be an easy journey to 200 Gamerscore with this game.
Mouseover the icons to see the name of each Achievement. I did that for a dramatic and cool effect so bow down. Spyglass Board Games will be available for download on Wednesday, August 1, for 400 Microsoft Points.
