Well, after some tweaking of settings, some hooking up and plugging in of cables, and some upgrading of firmware type things, I have finally managed to hook up my Wireless Gaming Adapter to my Console(s) and managed to conntect myself to X-Box Live - without needing to drag my Broadband Modem into the lounge room.  Yay me!  :)

What I've also noticed recently is that my Broadband speed has almost doubled in the past week or so.  Used to be running at about 11 mbps, but now I seem to be running at just over 20 mbps.  Not that I'm complaining, mind you - I just wasn't expecting it.  Not sure why it's happened either, but I'm gonna accept it while it happens.

I've also decided to splurge somewhat, and download some of the kewl Games from X-Box Live Arcade.  Something that involves the spending of more money, mind you.  For some reason, I had it in my head that the points we accumulated for unlocking Achievements in the various 360 Games could be used to purchase stuff from X-Box Live.  I'm not sure where I got that idea, but it's what I honestly thought.  Having said that, most of the content isn't that expensive, so I don't really care much.

I'm downloading some Games as we speak (I love Broadband!  *grin*), and I've decided to check out a Game I know pretty well, and also some new ones.  In the previously played Games department, we have Smash TV - an arcade Game I used to enjoy a LOT when I was younger.  In the new stuff, we have Geometry Wars Retro Evolved and Wik - Fable of Souls. 

Now, I was also gonna pick up Zuma Deluxe, but it appears I have miscalculated the number of Microsoft Points it will take me to download - so it's gonna have to wait for another time now.  I've got it on the PC already, but it'd be nice to have it on a Console that I can drag around from place to place if necessary.  In the meantime, I'll just have to enjoy smashing other competitors, blasting lots of shapes, and swinging around on my tongue.  Should be fun.  I'll let you all know how I go on these once I've had a chance to play 'em a bit, K?

NEhow, I should go and do some other stuff that doesn't necessarily involve Gaming - such as various domestic duties and some work stuff.  All good fun...  :-P

Hope you're doing well out there in Gamespot Land, and make sure you keep up the good work, people.  I'll chat to you again soon.  :)
