Lake Erie Thunder Logo

After being involved in the Erie drum corps scene for awhile, a new all age drum and bugle corps was formed. I was approached with doing the branding for it. Taking a cue from the uniforms that were given to them and thinking what would look good into the future, I... Read More

Great Game, Stupid Name…

Comments Off

I have always been a fan of the Tokyo Xtreme Racer series of games. They were way ahead of the Fast and Furious trend. After finding a copy of Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero for PS2, I decided to check Wikipedia to see if there are any new versions of this coming out. Low and behold, there is a 360 version called “Import Tuner Challenge.” I remember seeing this game on the shelf when I worked at EB Games and thinking that it was shovelware due to the name (I’d compare the phrase Import Tuner to someone wearing Ed Hardy clothes). So, this game has been out for 3+ years and I haven’t been aware of it, due to a bad choice in name. I was lucky enough to find a copy at GameStop for $19.99 when I actually found out what the game was. It just goes the show you how bad marketing can really sink the ship. The game itself is fun for fans of the series, although it really brings nothing new to the table as far as gameplay goes. Music is pretty terrible also, but that is easily remedied by hooking the iPod to the 360 and putting on the new 65daysofstatic album.


The Zune software fails at life.

So, my mp3 collection is absolutely screwed thanks to Microsoft’s lovely Zune software. Microsoft decided to not include id3v2.4 support so everything tagged with it, came up as unknown artist. Well the Zune software thought it would be great to fill that info in for me. What it did was write a completely new set of tags in addition to the other ones. Because of this, the mp3s no longer work in iTunes or on the iPod. The only way to fix this problem is to use mp3tag to remove the tags. Until there is an easy way to diagnose this, I have to drag my CD’s one by one into itunes and see if they add to the library.

Thanks again Microsoft. I also love how your software shits .jpg files all over the place, but that is a whole new issue.
