Are you participating in the Unlock the Achievement scavenger hunt going on right now? If so, here are a few clues about where my achievements are located if you still haven’t found all five.
- Douchebags can reach me at idontgiveashitwhatyouthink@kissmyass.com. No, really.
- Who are we kidding? Nobody is going to be playing anything but GTA4 next month anyways.
- One of the easiest articles I have ever written. All I did was regurgitate what I hear from random jackasses every time I play on Xbox Live.
- Did you know one of my articles made it all the way to the front page of Yahoo? Probably because it wasn’t even sarcastic. And that is also the reason why it won’t happen again.
- This ultimate achievement only goes to one special person. Or in this case, several hundred special people.
Happy hunting!

I am so, so excited to finally be able to tell you about the Xbox 360 Content Creation Challenge presented by Nokia! It has been in the works for a while now and being under embargo for so long almost killed me, I’m not kidding. At times I had to literally clasp my hands over my mouth in order to not say anything, which in turn led me to attempt to take a sudden intake of breath only to find myself without oxygen and thus panicking irrationally about not being able to breathe. Each time I eventually remembered I could get air through my nose but it still freaked me out. See, I told you it almost killed me. Anyways, on to the important stuff.
Have you ever wished you could create your own Xbox 360 theme? I know some of you who are gifted in the art of graphic design have certainly dreamt of being able to deck out your various blades however your little heart desires. Finally you are being given that very opportunity by a partnership between Disruptive Publishers and Nokia. The bare bones of the contest are this :
- Sign up at my360theme.com (be sure to affiliate yourself with my community when registering).
- Create and upload your theme.
- Vote for your favorites!
