The Xbox 360 and How It Works

By Larry Moon

In recent years the gaming consoles have become more, and more popular. However, with the rise in demand, you had a rise in price, and the gaming industry has had to become more creative with there games and systems to continue to keep the public's interest. Microsoft was the pioneer of the seventh generation gaming consoles, releasing the Xbox 360, which was the successor to the regular Xbox which sold over 20 million units.

All Xbox 360 editions come with a composite cable so you can plug it in to your regular standard definition television which serves as the minimal requirement. But it is better to have an HDTV with 1080p resolution to play the best games that the Xbox 360 offers in great quality.

In order to make your gaming experience the best it can possibly be, you need to make sure that you set it up the right way. You will need a hybrid component/composite cable for your console to be able to set up on a HDTV, which comes with the upgraded version of the pro and elite but not the regular version.

Once you are done setting it up, this is where you will find some of the most advanced equipment going to work. Before you do anything you need to start your console either on the tower itself or the button provided on the controller. This will bring up the user interface, that you will be able to browse things like pictures, music, video, and other games that you may have downloaded or installed. This will make it so that you are able to do these things without a built in DVD inside the optical drive, or a built in flash memory.

One of the coolest features is being able to hook up your home PC or laptop to the console itself. This will allow you to do things like play music and watch videos on the television from your computer.

During gameplay, this is where the Xbox 360 really starts to go to work. The Xbox 360 uses a processor named Xenon which contains three symmetrical cores having a 3.2 GHz clock speed. This ensures that loading times are as quick as possible and frame rates are smooth. These speeds can vary depending on how well the game takes advantage of the processor.

But speed isn't the only thing this console is made up of. The Xbox 360 has the capability of displaying really high-end graphics if the game that you put in, uses it to the fullest extent. Some of the capabilities that this console has are alpha blending, z-buffering, and 4x GSAA.

These two main components work really hard and can heat up the system during prolonged gameplay. Fortunately, the latest Xbox 360s having the Jasper motherboard do not suffer as much heat problems as the older models that usually lead to critical red ring errors. Be sure to take care of the internal components because any abuse to them will drastically lower the performance of your Xbox 360 and in the long run prevent it from working. - 23815

Welcome to Terabithia

By James G. Pynn

Stories about friendship tend to be stories that children take with them throughout their lives. One such story is Disneys BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA. The story revolves around two 12-year-old friends who create a world they can escape to -- a world of their own. This virtual kingdom was stunningly depicted by the conceptual artist Dima Malanitchev and brought tot life by the effects wizards at Weta Digital. The director, Csupo, insisted the look and feel of the fantastic elements be realistic and keeping in line with a greater sense of subtlety.

A key facet of BRIDGE TO TERABITHIA is the depiction of a friendship that spans across reality and the veil between this world and another. This film version of the beloved childrens novel of the same name was widely acclaimed for its authenticity. Some critics had feared the film would bypass some of the novels more somber plot devices, but to the credit of director Gabor Csupo, the film tastefully and poignantly involves every facet of the novel.

With only a few minor adjustments for the visual nature of the medium, the film is a shining example of how a novel should and could be adapted for the screen. Adapted for the screen by David Paterson, the son of the novels author, Katherine Paterson, the script provides a marvelous platform for the realization of a great film. It was faithfully adapted and lovingly brought to life. This is in no small way an indication of both Csupo and Patersons dedication to the tenements of the novel.

This is a film that can be enjoyed by audiences both young and old. The film was lauded with critical acclaim, box office glory, and a series of prestigious awards. Indeed, this triple accomplishment is no small feat and is reflective of the brilliance of Csupos direction. Completed for $20 million, the film garnered more than $120 million worldwide, designating it as something of a rarity: a hit. The film virtually swept the Young Artist Awards, sponsored by the prestigious Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

Shot in Auckland, New Zealand, the film balances the realities of everyday life and the imaginative world created by its characters. Jesse Aarons, played by Josh Hutcherson, and Leslie Burke, played by AnnaSophia Robb are the friends at the center of this luminous story. These relative newcomers provide a convincing and moving portrait of young friendship and possibly the budding of young love. Indeed, as another of its taglines suggests: close your eyes, but keep your mind wide open. - 23815

Billy the Kid and Sir Elton

By James G. Pynn

The concert of a lifetime comes, well -- once in a lifetime. To that end, it would be tantamount to a crime to not get the word out that as you are reading this little bit of hullabaloo, Elton John and Billy Joel are on the same ticket and rocking in the free world. That's right -- on the same bill and even joining forces for some killer encores. Even if you are not a huge fan of what is now called "classic rock" you will definitely enjoy this audio and visual extravaganza.

As the nights get longer and the summer gets going -- the rocking gets louder. Behold, the rock gods are on the loose and Saturday night is all right for high-five-ing. If there was any doubt, you can be sure these men have not faded softly into middle-aged rock flaccidity. No sir. Billy and Elton are in fine form and belting them out better than ever. Just check out your local arena and feel the power.

Wait, is it already the Fourth of July? Kind of -- but what you are witnessing is Billy and Elton blasting the roof off of Wrigley Field. Not only are you guaranteed to have the tuna salad rocked out of you, but never forget these giants bring with them a formidable pyrotechnics display. That's the kind of combined firepower legendary concerts are made of. Not since chocolate and peanut butter has there been a better combining of forces.

Ok, the analogy of this being some kind of cosmic alignment might be stretching it, but how often do two rock gods jump on the same ticket? The Rocket Man meets the Piano Man. Forget about it. All the major cities are on the slate for these rock and roll generals as they bring in the noise to North America. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime event. Don't disappoint your grandchildren, instead give them a great story and book your tickets.

Don't wait until the last minute and hit up the scalpers for tickets five-times their worth. Just book your tickets online, securely and worry about something more important -- like finding a good parking spot. You would be better off commuting, if possible. Either way, without a set of sweet tickets there's no point to even showing up. Get you tickets and get your rock on before the shows all over. - 23815
