Fabulous Lego Prize

Thanks to Gaming Lagoon I now have more Free XBOX 360 Points and accessories than I can currently use. So I've been playing with the custom ordered prizes. So far I've gotten a Green iPod Shuffle, a Red iPod Shuffle, and a rechargeable battery for my Lego Mindstorms NXT kit.

So, what to get next? Legos! From the Lego Online Store I had Gaming Lagoon send me the Lego Ferrari Scuderia Set 8654 and a Lego Millenium Falcon Bag Charm.



Pretty cool set, a truck, a car and six minifigs:



And everything packs up in the truck to hit the road:

More Fablous Prizes

Ok, I've been working 60-70 hours per week, and neglecting this site. However, that doesn't mean I haven't been answering surveys and getting really cool prizes. So here is a quick update.

Gaming Lagoon will now custom order ANYTHING you desire from the web with your points. So, I decided to test this out, first with a gaming item, then with a non gaming item.

First up was a set of Turtle Beach X3 Gaming Headphones. These things are AWESOME - they take the Analog Audio from the XBOX and send it wirelessly to some headsets that plug into your 360 Controller. You get stereo sound and voice chat all in one package. This is great when my family is asleep for the night, or when I travel to hotels for exteneded stays and take my XBOX. There was no problem getting these, in fact, I hunted them down slightly used on eBay with Buy It Now available on the auction. Gaming Lagoon ordered it and shipped it to my house, it was great.



Then, I went for something not only custom, but a little difficult, I wanted to see just how good Gaming Lagoon was on their custom orders. They kicked ass! I got an Apple iPod Shuffle 2GB MP3 Player, custom ordered from the Apple online store. When you order from Apple you can get custom engraving done, so I got "DEATH BEFORE INCONVENIENCE" engraved on the back of my green Apple iPod 2GB that was FREE from Gaming Lagoon.



So, what are you waiting for? Gaming Lagoon will order ANYTHING for you after you get some easy points from some simple surveys!

Lego Mindstorms Takes over Perfect Dark Zero

Ok, so I saw something along these lines in OXM magazine. I know I'm not the first, but this is still super cool.

Sunday I made a trek to Toys 'R Us and picked up a Lego Mindstorms NXT Robot.

I came home last night and DID NOT READ ANY OF THE INSTRUCTIONS. I have been doing heavy duty Legos sinces I was about 10 years old. Over 30 years of experience, I don't need no stinkin' directions.

After an hour, I had a robot that looked like this:


Then I started to create the program in the Lego software and download it to the robot, it took about another hour, but I got it kicking ass and taking names.



Notice the purple rubber band holding the sticks together, this is so that I keep moving and don't get booted to Spectator Mode.

Right now I'm working on 1000 Dark Ops games. When that is done, I'll work on 1000 Killcount. Then on 1000 Rounds Survived if I don't have it already.

And before you judge, the Dark Ops games take a minimum of 3 minutes each, times the 900 I needed. This comes out to 2700 minutes or 45 hours. So I would never, ever get this any other way. The Killcount games seem to take a minimum of about 5 minutes. So it would be closer to 70 hours to get that achievement.

After that I have plans to modify the bot, and get the 10,000 miles driven in Ridge Racer 4. Then on to Bejeweled Endless Mode. I think the sky is the limit with stupid, repetitive tasks on getting achievements. Now I can play games and have fun, and let this bot do the mundane stuff while I sleep and go to work.
