Free Stuff Update: Controllers Received
I managed to get the necessary 2500 tickets from club.live.com and order my Xbox 360/Windows controller. The notice confirming my gift selection stated 6-8 weeks for delivery. How about less than 1 week and via FedEx ground. Wow that was fast and the controller works like a charm. Now I have a USB dongle for my PC if I ever (read: “never”) need to use my 360 controller on my PC.
I also received another 360 wireless controller from my favorite free game site: youfree360games.com. We now have 4 controllers total between the two 360’s we have. No more fighting over controllers. Pretty cool.

We scored another month of Blockbuster Total Access; this time free (last time I paid $10). I’m telling you, if you want movies and have a near by Blockbuster, you’ll have movies coming out your ears! Get three out on-line, receive those, take them back to the store and get 3 more movies - free! It’s pretty quick turn-around as well. Although I will say that Netflix is VERY fast as I’m did a trial as well and even though they don’t have a storefront, turn-around time is speedy.
I have to move my stuff out of my old office in Oshkosh as the IT department is shifting seating around. I’m now working in Neenah due to a huge project Bemis is working on and I’m part of the team. I also took the opportunity to ask for some new stuff; a new monitor (hopefully a nice 19″ LCD) and Adobe CS3: Web Premium. Hopefully it gets approved.
I bought NBA Street Homecourt the other day from GameFly.com for about $30. I’m about ready to trade in the original Xbox as we’re barely playing it any more as well as any non-backwards compatible games. I hope GameStop’s still running their console trade-in deals. Homecourt is pretty fun. I’m not much of a sports game player (I did enjoy NFL Street 2), but Homecourt is quite fun with some very over-the-top dunks and double-dunks; Yes, double-dunks. The games achievements are a bit weak as there’s only 16, and the game sports some internal “awards” which I thought was odd. But whatever, it’s a fun play.
