In light of more Xbox Live users each day and more of these kids getting Rainbow Six: Vegas as well. I have decided just to make a separate page for the bad among the good ranked hosts to avoid or play with. You can reach this page at http://www.mistical.com/rainbowsix/

Before I go I want to talk about 2 more people, I may even do a Part 4 in the feature if it is a good one to write about.

Kunntilda666, kicks me 10 minutes into the match. He doesn’t even play, he takes the package and idles at the roof while everyone else is killing the team and then just kicks random people if defenders are quiting just to get absolutely no points taken away from him. Stay away from if possible, it doesn’t even matter if you are #1 killer on the team, he kicks anyone, as he did to me (I was on top). Maybe he didn’t wanted to go to school tomorrow feeling he was the best one on the team?

uknow760, kicked for no reason 1 minute into the match, same team. He’s a booster anyways. Would not answer my private chat invites. No one ever seems to after they kick me, too afraid to talk to me I guess. Update: hours later I played with this guy in another server, switched to defense just to play against him. I do not even know where toe begin because he was so terrible and as usual had nothing else to say to me except to tell me I boosted. We did however lose (almost won though) but I ended up in first on my team (not that it matters if you lose) with a 25/10 ratio and he had a ratio of 8/18. He said he kicked me from his server a minute into it because I was the lowest on my team, bullshit because I know I was already #1 on the team with a few kills already.

That ends Part 3, so everyone knows. I do 90% of the time have good matches and no problems, at least for me. I will write those down that kick others on my team for no real reason except me even though I did not get kicked. For example, I had a great few matches with host: xx DirtyNutz xx. I host matches as well so you can look for my gamertag as well.

Short rant but I went into a ranked match hosted by [YM] [color=blue]xVoidx[/color]. What an experience this was, same with his buddy [YM] [color=blue]Infamous 801[/color], as soon as I entered the room xVoidx was saying I did not earn my rank illegitimately and that I sucked. I just enjoy and love how people love to talk a lot of shit on Xbox Live. I guess at least he did not kick anyone/us to win the match. Alright then because this is my first time playing in with you and your horrible connection. He was a 1st Lieutenant and I’m still at a Lieutenant Colonel (2 ranks ahead of him). I stayed even though we were lagging terribly and that they were “spawn rapping” us. I ended up breaking through their terrible defense because all they were doing is trying to rack up the kills, that’s all xVoidx was doing, he’s not that good he just camps the fast ropes to rack up his kills and having a terrible connection helps that being the host you are not going to lag either.

Anyways, I went through the escalators, into the vault, made it back to the escalators where I dropped it midway. A teammate brought it up and made it to the middle of the elevator hallways, I ended up being able to bring it from there to the middle stairwell in a few minutes as every so feet we’d die but get the package further into a better spot for us to grab and bring it up without dieing. We ended up winning the match, Victory! you loser, with terrible lag and of course, more shit talked to me even though our team had just one and I was still #1 and my kill:death ratio was good with lag and “spawn raping”.

I quote spawn raping because they were not necessary killing us at our spawn (plus there’s like a 8-10 second? invulnerability to those that spawn) but they were as we fast roped down and yes there are other ways to get past them such as taking the longer routes down there (repelling, elevators, elevator stair well, taking them out from above and such as some of the others and I did. Also because I do not know what else to call it, nor do I care and it’s not like they had a good defense anyways, I got down there in one life and brought it up to the escalators in that one life as well.

There are just some people on Xbox Live that should not be able to ever play online games again because they ruin the game for others. I’m talking about people the kick others from servers because they can not handle losing, getting “owned” by you or any other reason that is just as worse. For example, earlier tonight as usual I am playing Rainbow Six: Vegas online along with some others. Many good matches but there were 3 or 4 that were terrible.

The last one I was kicked out with somewhere around 20-30 seconds left in the match of a 20 minute match in Attack and Defend Calypso Casino. I was on the Attackers side and about to win when I was just kicked by Xbox Live Member [color=blue]Laos 99[/color] whom did not even have the guts to accept a to-be-friendly chat invitation just to ask why he kicked me. He was already an elite rank, so it is not like points matter and the points did not matter to me either, I’m 2nd Colonel, 2 away from Elite but many matches to go anyways. I ended up joining another different game session of his but was kicked but I did find one of his friends, I had a chat with him, [color=blue]blbjr[/color], overall cool guy, accepted my chat and explain to me that I was probably kicked for using grenades as they were restricted. I told him that I did not use them, which I did not. They are restricted for a reason even though people know how to bypass that. Someone else within the first 10 minutes was kicked by doing that already (it was 5 attacks on 7 defenders). I knew why the guy was kicked on my team, I saw that he had killed someone with a grenade right before the message said he was kicked, obvious reason. Not like I intended to bypass to use grenades anyways to win either, we were going to and ended up after I was kicked I think but did not even bother asking anyone that was on my team (did not know any of them).

The match before that there was the host by the Xbox Live name of [color=blue]happy dwarf987[/color] and with his clan name [color=blue][EHI]happy dwarf987[/color]. He kicked my brother for either one or both of these reasons: kept killing him and could not be killed and/or so they would win the match (he was on attackers side). It was already 10 minutes into the match when this happened. We and the others continued to play the match we were still beating them until the last 2 minutes where all 4 of us (it was 4 on 6) were all hit with a grenade, taking us out and losing time while he took the package past the Keno room and up to the roof.

Another guy I remember was [color=blue]T WEEZY 2000[/color], he just kicks people if all of a sudden their ping goes from 3 green to 1 red without saying anything. Uneducated moron is all he is, the guy would of not lagged the match and his connection would of ended up being fine a minute later/next refresh.

So what do you do with these people? Well the first 2 people Avoid and File a Complain to Xbox Live, I think that is the proper and appropriate thing to do, they are abusing the administration rights to their hosted match. For the last guy, just give him an Avoid this Player Review.

AND THE BEARS ARE IN THE SUPER BOWL FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 21 YEARS. Which of course they won it against the Patriots back then. I did want them to be playing the Patriots once again but I also think it is good that we are playing the Colts. We have not played the Colts so this will be a good game as well as history is being made by there being the first two African American coaches in the Super Bowl. It will be a one heck of a tough but great game. In the end, I want the Bears to win and I think they can do it. They have a great defense, decent offense versus the Colts great offense and QB Manning.

GO BEARS!!!

THANK YOU ROBBIE GOULD FOR THE GAMING WINNING 49 YARD FIELD GOAL AGAINST THE SEATTLE SEAHAWKS!. YOU ARE THE BEST KICKER.

We play the Saints next week. It’s going to be a tough game. I hope Grossman can play like he did or like we would all like, even better. Da Defense also needs to step it up I think. They did alright and they were great when we needed them to be such as when we needed them to stop some big plays, especially the last 30 seconds in the 4th so they couldn’t get in field goal range for their kicker.

Today at MacWorld 2007, Apple introduced the Apple TV (not an actual TV, a device formerly known as codename iTV) and the Apple iPhone. That was really it at this year’s MacWorld. Both great devices, too bad though you will only be able to get the iPhone, at least for now, with a 2-year contract only with Cingular. I have T-Mobile and prefer them over Cingular. Apple would get so many more sells on their iPhone if they would sell an unbranded phone or opened our options more as to who we can go with. But oh well, things could change between now and June but doubtful.

I am still thinking if I should buy the Apple TV or not, I was for sure getting it until I heard it doesn’t support a lot of formats like DivX. So if it doesn’t play on your iPod without transferring to the iPod format, it won’t play on Apple TV, apparently.

Nothing else except for the latest Apple sales and ads were talked about, meaning no announcements on their macs, displays, leopard and so forth but everything is changing for Apple so I guess we should expect a change at each MacWorld/Keynote.

It’s been awhile since I last blogged, it’s been good since though.

November was a crazy month. I first camped out for Playstation 3 at a local Target with my brother and his friend. I was #4 in line and my brother/friend was #5 and #6. We started out camp out in the afternoon on Wednesday the 15th throughout Friday morning the 17th. By Thursday we finally found out there would only be 14 Playstation 3’s (4 60GB, 10 20GB). Being the 4th, I was the last one to get the 60GB. Great time it was too.

Then almost 2 days later I camped out for Nintendo Wii. I bought 2 of them, 1 for myself and 1 for my little sister and brother which they would get at Christmas but did not know about at all.

Nintendo Wii, absolutely rocks, since it’s been out for awhile and sold over 3 million copies, I am sure you know it does as well. Wii Sports and Zelda are just absolutely amazing right now. Among other games as well, I love Madden 07 and some others too.

Then a week after PS3/few days after Wii camp out, I camped out with my friend Nicole for Black Friday. Which was Thursday afternoon, the 23rd, throughout Friday morning, the 24th. We were technically #1 and #2 but we waited in our car for an hour with no activity, 2 other cars pulled up about 30 minutes after us and waited in their car as well. Till finally these older women came and through out their chairs and claimed the head of the line, then it was us, not a big deal so in the end we were #4 and #5. We were getting what we wanted anyways. Which was the $379 HP laptop for each of us and the $479.99 Westinghouse 32″ LCD HDTV. The $379 HP laptop was free for me as I still had my free $400 Best Buy gift cards from earlier in the year from FreePay instead of an Xbox 360.

Well what a nut house it was by 5AM when the store opened. Over 500 people were in line, only the first 30 people? give or take a few, were actually getting either the front page items and/or the really good deals that were going on. But it wasn’t as bad you would think it would be with over 500 people in line wanting some of the items you were getting and such or as bad as it was camping out for PS3. The camp out for Wii was absolutely no problems, even received a free t-shirt (everyone in line did). I ended up seeing my best friend in line, he was a only a few people after us. He ended up getting the HP laptop as well, the Westinghouse 19″ Widescreen LCD Monitor and the Westinghouse 32″ LCD HDTV.
The HP laptop and Westinghouse 32″ LCD HDTV has since been both great. I absolutely love the TV. Matter of fact, I replaced my 70″ projector for Xbox 360 gaming with it just because I love it that much and this was only about 2 weeks ago that I changed this. Though I’ll still switch cords and hook it up to my projector for movies though, not that it looks bad on the TV just much bigger on projector and still great picture.

Christmas was great, spent it at my dads and finally was able to give my little sister and brother the Nintendo Wii. They were totally shocked. It was great, they love it even though they have been using mine when I bring it over there, now they have their own.

Now it’s New Year Day, Happy New Year!
