I like the new XBox update quite a bit. The avatar bit is a little stupid but some of the features are great! The Netflix streaming is a mega win and being able to install games on the hard drive is a super mega ultra win. I played Fallout this morning … in silence. It was glorious! I could hear everything going on in the game right down to the smallest audio cue. Suck it loud ass DVD drive!
In other news, I finally took part in a speed mapping event. The levels will be released in a pack on Monday so I’ll post a note here when that happens. Speed mapping was fun! You don’t really have time to fuss too much with textures or lighting, you just have to come up with scenarios involving the theme. This time around it was “Don’t touch that!”. My map is a fairly literal interpretation on that theme but it was my first time so give me time to get creative. 
I leave you with my NXE avatar…
