Halo Waypoint

Those of you lucky enough to get the new Xbox Dashboard Beta will already know all about Halo Waypoint, but for those who don't here is a quick summary.
Coming with the next Dashboard update, along with Twitter, Facebook and other new features, will be Halo Waypoint. A new application for the Xbox 360 dashboard. In Halo Waypoint you will be able to get all the latest news from Bungie about Halo aswell as the new Halo Anime series. This, and more, will all be found in the intel section of Halo Waypoint. In the Career section, Halo Waypoint will read your achievement list for all Halo games and give you a rank out of 40 for all your existing achievements. As well as that, for certain achievements, Halo Waypoint will also give you avatar awards to customise your avatar with.
And there is a basic look at Halo Waypoiny, now all thats left is to wait for Microsoft to release it.

This week's post

This week doesn't seem to be getting anything worth posting about so far so I'm going to try and sum up what I know about this week in one post.

So far this week:

I've been to my cousins and had a game session on their Xbox. We played Halo 3, a short Firefight on Halo 3: ODST, a match on COD5 and some songs on GH:GH. I updated my avatar for their Xbox and gained 120g, making my gamerscore 655g.

I have also been to buy presents for my both my Grandma's as it's there birthdays today and tomorrow.

I am going to be playing my good ol' carnival drums on Halloween in Keswick. Can't remember why but it will be fun.



Also as a small bit at the end of this post I'd like to say what exactly I'd like in terms of games for the Xbox when I (finally) get one:

• Halo 3
• Halo 3: ODST
• Forza 3
• Fable 2
• Fallout 3: Game of the Year edition
• Brutal Legend

That's all for now, so see ya!

Small Notice

Just thought I'd notify everyone that my Twitter name has changed from TheAlphaSpyke to WhiteWeasel92. As a result I will be changing the web address for this blog from thealphaspyke.blogspot.com to whiteweasel92.blogspot.com tomorrow at 10pm GMT. Just thought I'd give you all a heads up.

Nintendo News and Youtube update!

Today Nintendo have sent out an update for the Wii Shop Channel which allows you to claim your free 500 Wii Points NES game if you are one of the people to have purchased the Internet channel when it cost 500 Wii Points. I chose to get Super Mario Bros. Why? It's a classic!

Also in the Wii Shop Channel update, Nintendo revealed a new feature of the Wii Shop channel. Connection Ambassadors. With this Wii owners who already have a internet connection on their Wii can register other peoples friend codes who they have helped to get one for themselves. You get 500 Wii Points for each person you help (the person helped will also get this 500 Wii Points). When you help 10 people you can download any NES virtual console game for free (any you have already purchased will be made available to send to one person for free). Then when you help 20 people you can download any NES, SNES and N64 virtual console game for free. Sounds like a good scheme, unfortunately it isn't one I can really make use of on account anyone I know with a Wii has already established an internet connection more than a month ago.

Finally in my own Youtube news, I am having trouble recording playthroughs on account I can't get the sound to work properly, I will keep trying, but no promises.
