Greetings all, Ayame here just after midnight on November 19 where we -and by we I mean I- are eagerly awaiting the imminent release of the NXE (New Xbox Experience) a.k.a. that weird interface that replaces the blades a.k.a. the redifinition of the Xbox brand a.k.a....well, Microsoft have come up with several dozen names for it. All you need to know is it's supposed to make the dashboard easier to use and you get a Mii...uh...an Avatar.
Anyway, since I should be writing a paper right now, I decided to give this liveblogging thing a try. I'd twitter too, but I have even less idea of what that means. I think it has something to do with a gym coachs' whistle but who knows. Anyway, here we go. Enjoy!
12:05 a.m.
I'm not at home right now. I'm at my moms. I should be writing a research paper with her ample internet-ready computers but instead I am watching TV. Oh Peter Griffin -you're such a silly fellow.
12:30 a.m.
Back to the pa...hey...there's more Family Guy on TV. Whoda thunk it. I wonder if NXE is avaliable yet. I enjoy some Cinnamon Bears.
1:30 a.m.
I'm home! My roommates are asleep, except the one who lives in my room. He's grinning like a demon in the glow of his iPod. I contemplate hitting him with my controller, being as it's the only thing handy, but then I wouldn't get to download..whatever the hell it is I'm waiting for...
1:45 a.m.
After a smattering of dialouge, I throw my controller at my roommate anyway. His skull dented my Chatpad.
1:46 a.m.
I get Fruit Loops and settle in for the long haul. Will 2:00 a.m. NEVER get here?!
1:50 a.m.
I run through the blades on my console one last time. It's been fun, Old Interface. However, I'm a girl of the future, and the future is still...10 minutes away.
1:53 a.m.
I run through the blades one last time...again. Jeez, this is taking forever.
1:55 a.m.
Disaster! Some sort of spastic foot reaction and now my Fruit Loops! They...they...oh it's too awful for words! How will I make it to NXE now? Okay, I'm calm now. I will endure. For you!
1:56 a.m.
(Unitelligible screaming)
1:58 a.m.
I don't know how much longer I can go on. I...I...I'm afraid. But I think I have figured out a way to survive. If I can find some kindling, I think my shoes might be edible.
1:59 a.m.
They're not. But wait! I only have one minute to go! The ordeal is almost over! HUZZAH!
2:00 a.m.
THE NEW NXE IS...wait...what the hell? This looks like the OXE. Ah! Perhaps I have to restart the system.
2:05 a.m.
Still nothing.
2:15 a.m.
I can't believe I ate shoes for this! There's still nothing! In fact, this ad says I still have two days left until the 19th! Has the whole world gone topsy-turvy? I throw my controller at my roommate again.
6:30 a.m.
Must...stay...awake...must...liveblog. Duty....to...readers.
6:35 a.m.
Network down?! MOTHER F-
6:45 a.m.
Okay, I feel better now. I've fixed my wireless network adapter and I am ready to reboot my system. Rebooting....now.
6:46 a.m.
Success! The download has begun! Shoe scraps for everyone!
6:55 a.m.
This is taking a little longer than I expected.
7:01 a.m.
Completion! Here's the intro video, it's moving a lot and has bright colors and music! If it were shiny then...OMG! IT IS! However, there are no kitties. Therefore I must give it a thumbs-down.
7:03 a.m.
I am creating my Avatar. It's amazing how much these are not total and complete rip-offs of Nintendo's Mii system.
7:06 a.m.
My avatar is adorable! Now, to save it.
7:07 a.m.
Still saving...
7:10 a.m.
still.
7:30 a.m.
Aaaaaannndddd....it's done! No wait...nope.
7:45 a.m.
Okay NOW it's done. That was a lot of work, but I bet the avatar does something really cool on the dash.
7:52 a.m.
Well, I've parused the new dash and it seems like it's actually harder now to find stuff. I've been looking for the active downloads screen for about 5 minutes now.
7:55 a.m.
Well, aparently Netflix isn't up yet. It let me download it, but now it keeps telling me there's a problem with the network.
7:57 a.m.
He he he. I made my avatar dizzy. Too bad that's all I seem to be able to make her do besides say "The Double CRANCH?!"
8:00 a.m.
Well, I'm now late for school. I'll report back later when I have more time to paruse it. Ayame...out! ooh! Shoes!
