Hello there, once again USKB, the faithful owner of XboxPolis.com. Since I suck at bringing Weekly Updates, even during summer, I figured a snazzy title and some annoyingly sweet puns could get me through. Agreed? Good.
Like Tying A Knot, of death.
So, we’ve been spamming our Twitter here lately, not with hopes to gain followers or to get blocked, but to make people come to us. The spamming you may have seen on Twitter is the fuss about us giving away around 15 Medal of Honor beta keys. The game, is Electronic Arts’ newest, uh, reboot shooter, with some sweet, different engine-using DICE multiplayer. We obtained these keys through the constant use of making new email accounts on our host, then constantly pressing ‘F5’ on BestBuy.com to type in the newly-made email account, then receiving the codes via email EA. The keys, sitting pretty in a draft in my personal email account, are waiting for those poor, poor Twitter users who signed up with us. With the, like what, five people that actually signed up, we want to at least get like 10 people so we can get this sh*t done. We’ll be releasing- hopefully- two codes daily, again, pending on how many people we get- and if we need to, we’ll give them to every one of you Twitter users. And I think its safe to say we can delay our release of the codes anyway- BECAUSE THE XBOX 360 VERSION OF THE BETA HAS YET TO COME OUT. Put a #fail tag on that one Twitter-erers.
For those wanting access to the beta, find out how you could get it from us.
Nuff bout codes.
‘Nuff said indeed, P-Diddy. So, we give you the news on us. Not developers or games, no no. Okay, maybe a bit.
We’re so hardcore, we’ll be doing some nice coverage of Comic-Con like we did with E3. Except smaller, less tiring, and because Halo: Reach told us to ‘go past the canyon at Comic-Con 2010.’ And we listen to Bungie. The coverage starts whenever Comic-Con starts- I haven’t checked, and nor do I plan to check. It’s this month, I think.
And we also like to say hi to GreenEyeBob. I gave him a beta key before you Twitter-erers. Hi GreenEyeBob.
And as you may notice, the site looks sexy. From our past Wetpaint, to our next weird-kid version that I dubbed back in late ‘08, I think it’s safe to say that we’ll be keeping our casual template around for a good while, changing the background though, to keep it fresh. We did that with Red Dead for like two days, Halo: Reach for like a month, and we have the current ‘tests’, dare I call them ‘tests’, that use the Xbox 360 rainbow thing they unveiled at E3. It’s on the jobs page.
And Speaking of Jobs…
Yes, the good ‘ol non-paying job in a crappy-ass economy seems to be all the rage these days, so we’re going with the flow of the modern day era, hence the somewhat-late announcement of our “Jobs” page. Found conveniently at XboxPolis.com/Jobs, you can look at what we’re looking for. But you can’t apply. Yet. We’re still in the process of editing and creating applications, as we would love to seperate the three current jobs listings. Sounds only right.
The Three Current Job Listings Are:
- Writer (we want a lot)
- Reviewer (we don’t want that many)
- Developer (we want one person or a small developing team willing to work for $0.00, but we’ll cover the release fees and stuff like that)
“Good luck finding a developer” -you.
We know. It’ll be impossible.
And Here’s a Flashback
Xbox LIVE Game Servers Are Down
Anyway, we’re out. Sorry about the odd spacing in this post. My spacebar is off teh hook today. #realofficialbusiness
