Today I finally installed the latest Windows 7 revision – 7068×64 – on my notebook. There appears to be some stability improvements in general, but I’m most impressed with the latest graphical improvements. Windows 7 brought new themes, of course, which include changing desktop backgrounds. The following screen shot is from one of the “Characters” theme images. I kid you not, someone at the Microsoft art department is dropping acid. And I’m going to use this theme forever.

Quick! Before I forget and walk away to play GTA4.
I forgot to mention that Metal Gear Online has been updated to include a new map and game mode, the latter being most appealing to me. From the Playstation Blog:
In this rule, there will be one character and two teams in the game. Snake, Red team, and Blue team. Snake’s mission is to collect a certain number of dog tags, by having other players stunned or held up. Red and Blue teams’ mission is to defeat Snake certain times or defeat more players in the opposing team. If more than 10 people are in the game, another player may play as Snake’s mini robotic sidekick Mk. II, to assist the Snake player. If you are playing as Snake, you have many of his incredible abilities available to you – such as the camouflage!
There’s aspects of the beta that are fun but it still needs a lot of work before the final version comes out.
So it appears that the Metal Gear Online Beta has been delayed until Friday.
Sick burn. 
I’ll be playing this weekend though. PSN: Raiden218
See you at midnight. 
It’s an amazing day outside, pretty windy but a nice 70 degrees out, which is the nicest day we’ve had this spring thus far I’m pretty sure. The week’s been pretty nice in general, although we’re supposed to get some rain showers the rest of the week until Sunday when it warms up again.
The only huge down side for me? I’m sick. I’ve had a cold since Monday night and it’s wrecking me.
That hasn’t prevented me, luckily enough, to get some pictures of the new Metal Gear Online Premier Beta. No game-play yet, as the servers don’t go live until the 21st. Check the jump for more pictures those of you who didn’t get in on the beta might be missing. I’ll post my gamer id for those of you who did get in in case you care to join.
Well, I had initially preordered Metal Gear Solid 4 hoping to get into the Metal Gear Online beta coming the 21st. . . Unfortunately I was disappointed to learn that since I preordered online and decided to receive Metal Gear Solid 4 via mail, I would not be getting into the MGO beta as you had to preorder in-store to qualify.
Until today that is.
Fill out the following form here for a chance to get a MGO Beta voucher code redeemable on the 17th. I filled it out and immediately received an email containing the voucher code. Hurry, this won’t last forever
