Critical Strike 15: Progress Reports

January 21st, 2008 . by Josh

Welcome back folks. In this episode we started a new trend where we want you, the listener, to vote in this post’s comments on who was the podcast MVP. We know already that no one will probably post which one of us was their MVP, so I decided to start the failure trophy. With that said, Kyle won the failure trophy for this episode. Listen to find out why!

In this episode we discussed:

  • What we’ve been up to
  • Top 5 casual games
  • Video game music challenge

Xbox Live: Be Aware

January 10th, 2008 . by Josh

For the amount of Xbox Live users out there, you would think more people would be aware of such problems that they may face. It’s only to be expected, the more popular a service becomes, the more danger their users are in.

Over at XBL Radio and Platform Nation podcast host INFECTEDPB503 and chiahippo held a interview with two victims of social engineering. Please be sure to give this interview a listen to understand the risks your Xbox Live account could be in danger of. Sure it may not happen to everyone, but just be aware of the situation.
