So the new Facebook layout that was announced on 60 minutes tonight is not showing yet on my computer. What’s going on with that? From my understanding, some people got the new layout as early as noon today, but it’s now 9:30pm and I’m still not seeing the new Facebook layout. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there any way to fix this, or do we just have to wait for Facebook to get to our accounts?

November 30th, 2010 | Posted by in Gaming - (1 Comments)I know we’re all playing way too much Halo since Reach has been released, but the next thing that is going to feed that craving is the release of the Halo Reach Noble Map Pack (maybe Nobel Map Pack). The official release date of the Noble Map Pack is November 30, 2010, but what time will they be released? 12am has come and gone, so what is the official release time of the Halo Reach Noble Map Pack? Well, we’re about to tell you.
The highly anticipated Halo Reach Noble Map Pack will be released on November 30th, 2010 at 6am PST.
That’s the best educated guess that you’ll find on the internet. Hopefully we’re within 3 hours (+/- 12 hours).
Let me know once you get your Noble Map Pack so I can log on and pwn you!!!

I was finally getting my site to be completely indexed in Google Sitemaps when I got the following error. And let me add that this error came out of nowhere. There were no changes to my sitemap, there was nothing updated on my server. Google went from being okay with my sitemap one day, to blocking the entire thing the next. Any feedback from people who have had the same problem would be appreciated.
Every URL that was submitted yielded the following error:
URL not allowed
This url is not allowed for a Sitemap at this location.
This url is not allowed for a Sitemap at this location.
I have checked the preferred domain, the download location, etc. Every submitted URL matches the domain prefix of www. Any ideas? Anyone?
Halo Reach Ranking System – Ranks and Credits Needed
November 9th, 2010 | Posted by in Gaming - (2 Comments)
For all you Halo Reach nerds out there who are credit farming and trying to do all you can just to rank up faster, good luck with that. Fact of the matter is, Bungie had the right idea when creating the new ranking system and all the daily challenges and weekly challenges. It’s just their way of sinking their teeth in and making sure that all you little noobs keep on coming back for more. Just 1,500 more credits to level up! I’ll keep playing! Here’s the current rankings and the points needed to obtain each level. I expect to be at Inheritor by the end of 2010. Mark my words.

For everyone who has played Halo Reach multiplayer matchmaking, most of us are curious as to how the Assists in the game are calculated. There are times where I know I’ve done mass damage on an opponent and a teammate steps in and finishes the job, but for some reason, I don’t get an assist. I know I’m not the only one who feels this way because I’ve seen posts on Xbox forums and the Bungie.net forums. After doing a little bit of research, here’s the best explanation of Halo Reach assists that I could come up with.
Halo Reach Assists
- If you do damage greater than or equal to 60%, you get an assist
- If you do damage less than 60%, you will not get an assist
Considering the above, this makes a bit of sense and explains why assists aren’t given out very often, or as often as we’d like them to be, in Halo Reach. Let’s say 3 teammates are shooting 1 opponent, all do equal damage at 33.333% – only one will get the kill and the other 2 will get no recognition. Is the Halo Reach assist system flawed? I believe it is, as do 95% of the Halo players.
In my opinion, Assists should be handed out like candy. If you put a bullet in a guy or do any type of damage to him and a teammate kills him off (within 5 seconds), you should get an assist. Because, by the definition of “assist”, you did help your teammate get that kill because he didn’t have to do 100% of the damage.
Here’s some points/changes that I think should be made to the Halo Reach assist system.
- Should multiple players be able to get an assist for a kill?
Yes. This currently isn’t possible if the above mentioned 60% rule is in fact how assists are calculated. - Should assists be limited by a percentage of damage done?
No. If you do damage, you are assisting. Give an assist. - Does LeBron James agree with this?
Yes. LeBron James is all about assists. He wants all the stats that he can get, and so do we.
You may have seen my last post about getting your copy of Halo Reach in the mail on the day it is released without having to wait in a long ass line, but this just keeps getting better. Now, Amazon will give you $20 also! If you pre-order Halo Reach from Amazon.com, you’ll get a $20 credit that can be use toward a future purchase in the video games category at Amazon.com. Perfect to use for Microsoft points.

Pre-Order Halo Reach for Delivery on Launch Day
August 22nd, 2010 | Posted by in Gaming - (0 Comments)
Do you want your copy of Halo Reach to arrive at your house on the day it comes out without having to wait in any long lines? You won’t even have to camp out at the store to get your copy. This is one of the best deals that you’ll find for this game. If you pre-order Halo Reach from Amazon.com, you’ll also receive a $20 credit that can be use toward any purchase in the video games category at Amazon.com. This would be perfect to buy Microsoft points with. That way when the new Halo Reach maps come out, you’ll be all set with points and you can pick them up immediately!
I can’t guarantee this, but this is how I ordered my iPhone and I actually received it before launch day. I wonder if ordering Halo Reach early from Amazon could allow you to receive your copy a day or two early? Try it and let me know!
There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate.
August 18th, 2010 | Posted by in iPhone Tips & Tricks - (1 Comments)
I recently bought a new iPhone 4 and I took my old SIM card out of my 3GS and shredded it. After doing that, I restored the phone to the factory settings, and come to find out, I actually need the SIM card so that I can jailbreak it. Now when I plug my iPhone into iTunes, I get the following iTunes error:
There is no SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate.
Please disconnect and insert a SIM card in the iPhone.
Even though the goverment just made jailbreaking legal, Apple is going to make it as difficult as possible for people who don’t have a SIM card. I’m in the process of tracking down a SIM card just so I can open the phone and go to JailBreakMe.com – once this is done, I’ll be free and clear and will no longer need the SIM.
Has anyone found a way around this without using the SIM? Is there a iOS4 jailbreak that works through the USB connection rather than through PDF security hole in iOS 4.0 and 4.01? I’m about to find out. I’ll keep you fools updated!
iPhone Sound Coming From Earpiece and Not Out of Speaker
August 11th, 2010 | Posted by in iPhone Tips & Tricks - (0 Comments)
So far, I’ve been extremely happy with my new iPhone 4 and iOS 4. No complaints, great apps, and with availability of a super easy jailbreak from JailBreakMe.com the iPhone 4 has left me nothing but happy… until recently. I’ve been noticing this problem more and more. It was to do with the audio output getting messed up and basically getting turned off. When trying to listen to a podcast, or any audio for that matter – even notifications and keyboard clicks, all audio output is transferred from the standard iPhone speaker output to the iPhone earpiece, so of course, listening to the iPod or hearing notifications or your phone ringing becomes very difficult, if not impossible to hear.
After doing a little bit of reading, it turns out that it is the Skype application that is corrupting the audio output. Apparently, if you make a Skype phone call and the person you’re talking to hangs up before you do, it corrupts the iPhone audio causing all sound to come out of the earpiece rather than out of the speaker which is why many of you will be suffering from what is described as muted iPhone audio or muffled iPhone audio.
Solution(s):
- Restart your iPhone
- Open Skype, place a call to the Skype Call Test account. Hangup immediately.
- Double click home button, remove Skype from open apps.
