He offers a tutorial as well if you want to learn how to play it on your piano without the sheet music.





Top 10 Romantic Halo 3 Lines Useful for Forge Proposals

27 11 2007

We all want some. We all enjoy getting some. I am all about helping everybody in the never ending quest of scoring. Hopefully my Top 10 Halo Pick-Up Lines played wingman to your virtual action endeavors. This time I would like to assist you in something of a more romantic nature.

In my Four Things to Do in Forge article, the first activity I suggested was proposing to your significant other.

Propose to Your Significant Other
Please be warned that this will only be successful if your significant other is an avid gamer. If your other half despises your obsession with all things Xbox, proposing using Halo 3’s Forge mode might bring you an angry slap in the face instead of the yes you were dreaming of. Assuming your partner in life is also your partner in gaming, asking her hand in marriage this way should be a walk in the park. The easiest phrase to spell out would be “Marry me” but dressing it up would definitely earn you some bonus points. Pretty polka dots made from power ups as a border or a big beautiful ring with an activated bubble shield as the diamond would help you hit that home run. A Forge proposal, who could say no to that?

Apparently not furtive penguin. Her boyfriend of over two years chose the Forge setting for his proposal. He spelled out “Marry Me”, she said yes, and their journey officially began. I knew it was just a matter of time before an event like that happened and now that it is occurring, I would like to help you out even more by supplying you with some romantic proposal lines Halo 3 style. Spell out your proposal on Forge mode, pair it with one of these lines, and your success is guaranteed.

Handmade Xbox 360 Plush Pink Edition

26 11 2007

I once saw the cutest Xbox 360 plushie and instantly fell in love. It was soft, white, cuddly, and just beyond adorable. Well, what I thought was love really was not. It ended up being more of a crush, just a temporary fleeting feeling of affection. I am sure you want to know how I knew it wasn’t real love and how I knew it wasn’t going to last forever. I realized that the moment I set eyes on this.

This is true love. The kind that you know with all your heart and soul that it is meant to be. The kind you feel from the tip of your nose to the pit of your stomach all the way down to the tingle in your toes.

How You Can Make Xbox Live a Better Place, Part 3 : Create Your Own Experience

25 11 2007

*As I relax and enjoy the rest of the holiday weekend, I offer you a reposting of a series I wrote back in June. This is part three of a three part article about what we can do to make Xbox Live a more positive place. See you on Monday.

I am all about having a positive playing experience online. I am 31 years old. Gaming is not my job. It is simply a recreational passionate hobby of mine. My Halo rank has no influence on my life whatsoever. That’s right, you heard me! I fully realize that my life will continue along its happy way, even if my rank goes below 30. Actually, my rank is always below 30 and I lead a fabulous life. See, point made.

I have said several times over that Xbox Live is a predominantly negative place. The randoms that infest it are often times untolerable. I have written two articles about how you can help improve the general atmosphere of Live, the first one about the golden rule of do unto others and the second one covering the importance of utilizing the feedback system. Now I am going to discuss how you can mold your own experience and create exactly the atmosphere you are craving.

How You Can Make Xbox Live a Better Place, Part 2 : Feedback, Feedback, and More Feedback

25 11 2007

*As I relax and enjoy the rest of the holiday weekend, I offer you a reposting of a series I wrote back in June. This is part two of a three part article about what we can do to make Xbox Live a more positive place. See you on Monday.

Xbox Live can be a negative place. If you utilize that service for multiplayer gaming, you are already aware of that. Each individual person has the opportunity to help make our gaming arena a better place though. We already discussed a simple two word phrase that helps create a positive playing environment. Now let’s discuss something a little different that requires a bit more action on your part, the feedback system.

From XBox.com :

The feedback system was created to empower gamers. Choose to use it or not, but it drastically improves your online experiences when you let Xbox Live know what you think about certain players. When used responsibly, the tools can greatly improve your online experiences. On the flipside, if you overuse or abuse the system (i.e. by giving negative feedback to everyone you encounter) you’ll ostracize yourself from the general population, so use it wisely.

Leave feedback and increase the odds that you’ll be paired up with someone of similar skill—and character—next time you play. While you won’t get a free mint with each feedback form, you will get some satisfaction knowing that you’re in control of your online world.
