XenonMKV: Convert your MKV files to work on the Xbox 360

As the two most commented posts on my site show, people are really interested in getting their high-definition MKV files to play on the Xbox 360. Unfortunately, the existing GOTsent utility isn’t working out as a complete solution, and complicates the situation by trying to cater to PlayStation 3 users.
I’ve developed a tool [...]

Inside Xbox now available for Canadians

Up until this point, Inside Xbox (a new feature of the Fall 2007 dashboard update) was restricted to American and UK accounts – although not ISP-locked, since my American profile could access the content with no problem. Now, the feature seems to be available for Canadians, and actually offers some exclusive Canadian content in the [...]

Update 03-30-2008: If you follow this tutorial and find that GOTsent isn’t for you, please check out XenonMKV, a custom utility I’ve written to replace this process.

BioShock: oh no, it’s something with a wrench!

I picked up my copy of BioShock at EBGames in Conestoga Mall this evening, and even after having played the demo, the experience was no less dulled. I’m taking my time through the first round of the game, because the artwork and plotline is really something to be appreciated.
And the sound. What an experience. The [...]

Microsoft eats crow on the Xbox 360 defect situation

This conference call transcript should explain everything, as well as Larry Hyrb’s podcast feed.
When they have to bring in Peter Moore to explain things, plus offer a $1 billion-plus loss on financial statements, you KNOW that there was something seriously wrong that Todd Holmdahl couldn’t weasel his way out of.

Todd Holmdahl weasels about the Xbox 360 failure rate

From Xbox-Scene: Dean Takahashi interviewed Todd Holmdahl about alleged Xbox 360 failure rates. Holmdahl is the “corporate vice president of Gaming and Xbox Products Group”, and effectively has NOTHING meaningful to answer during the interview. He also fails to answer questions that have even already been answered in public. The issue at hand is the [...]

Been a while, huh?

At least not as long as Dave Lahn or Mister Seagray, though.
My traffic’s been up this month. I guess people are either reading this site, or a certain BecomeBot has been ruining my bandwidth.
I’ll have to put a few updates in, but I clearly had to check my statistics again. One of the wonderful [...]

Search engine results

I’ve decided to take a look at my Webalizer statistics for the months of April and May to figure out what people are searching for. It also helps me tailor the content on this ugly green and beige page to what people might be interested in.
If you’ve got a question about something I’ve written, or [...]
