Rabid's Gamer Space

Some of you may have noticed that I haven't been all that good as far as keeping this Space updated. I deliberately held off doing anything new since I knew I would be creating a new blog elsewhere. Well, the transition has now taken place and my new "home" is now located at http://therabiesblog.blogspot.com/. The Rabies Blog is something I've wanted to do for a while and I hope that you will all come and visit me there.

 

Thanks to everyone who has come by over the past year and read my rantings and posted your thoughts. I hope to see all of you in the new spot!

Has anybody else noticed that the original Xbox forum thread for Space bloggers has disappeared? I checked around on a few different Spaces, but I didn’t see any posts regarding this. If anyone has any insight on this, please drop a comment here. I also plan on contacting the forum mods to see why it was removed.

I’m really bummed about this because it was that thread that got me started writing in the first place. I doubt I would be doing what I am if I had never started my own gaming Space. Oh well. It was a pretty good run we had going there.

In the meantime, I’ve been playing GoW as much as I can and I still love this game! I will admit that I’m no good on LIVE, but that’s nothing new, lol. This game looks great and plays great.

I’m looking forward to picking up COD3 as well as Viva Pinata. These games looked great at the New York show and I can’t wait to get my hands on ‘em!

As far as Totally360 goes, you may have noticed that I added an RSS headline feed to the Space here. We’ve been getting some really great news stories lately and it’s impossible to update this site with all of it, so I thought I would give the RSS feed a try. I hope everyone gets some use out of it J

Lastly, the latest episode of The Rabies Shot is now available for download and I invite you all to check it out. In an effort to make it easy, here is the direct link to the show! As always, your feedback is welcome regarding the podcast, the Totally360 website and the Space! Once again, thanks for stopping by!  

Hey folks. Thanks for the feedback on the pictures. I'm really glad to hear that everyone is enjoying them.

 

I wanted to let you all know that Episode 11 of The Rabies Shot is now available at Feedburner and iTunes. I dedicated the entire show to the Match Made in Hell event and finally put to words what the experience of playing Gears of War was like.

 

Enjoy the show and as always, feedback is more than welcome!

Thanks to an invitation from Larry (Major Nelson) Hryb, I was able to join him and the 300 or so winners of the Match Made in Hell contest at Six Flags New England last night! I was finally able to meet Major face to face (he's a great guy, BTW), the band Megadeth performed a mini-concert including the brand new tune "Gears of War" PLUS got a chance to play the most anticipated game for the Xbox 360 console GEARS OF WAR!!

 

I will be detailing the entire event in the next episode of The Rabies Shot, but I will say that the game is unreal!! I'll post here when the show is ready to download.

 

In the meantime, I have posted pictures from the event on Flickr. Go here to read the story and see the pictures!

Hi everybody! I want to say thanks again to our very own Robert Bowling aka Fourzerotwo for appearing with me on this weeks episode of The Rabies Shot podcast. We had a great conversation regarding the success of Call of Duty 2 including the outstanding emphasis that he and Infinity Ward put on the community of gamers surrounding the title. Not only do we talk about their successful Call of Duty 2 Xbox All-Nighter Community Party, Robert also reveals information regarding some new upcoming events! The interview was great and I welcome you all to check it out.

 

I have to say that guests like him make all of the work that goes into the show worthwhile. I was up until 4:30 am last night editing the show (and uploading it, updating the RSS feed, pinging the websites, etc) because I wanted to get the show out there for everyone to hear.

BTW, if you're interested in joining me on a future episode, we have set up an email address for gamers to submit their infomation. All the details can be found here.

 

Thanks to everyone for supporting the show. The audience has been growing week after week and it's all because of you!
