Assassin’s Creed 2 feather and glyphs location maps
Nov 25th
Assassin’s Creed 2 is one of the best and most enjoyable games at the moment.
Compared to the first Assassin’s Creed, this one is impressive.
I mostly play my games on Xbox 360 and i admit, i didn’t play this one myself, but i did watch and help my boyfriend playing it – like movie – from the first moment until the last and helped him find and decipher the glyphs- which are awesome, then ran all over in every city to find the fathers.
We got every achievement available.
If you’re playing the game now you know that finding the all feathers is not an easy achievement to get.
And if you’re after 1000G and to fully complete this game then you’ll probably spend your time on the rooftops on every city but with these maps you’ll find them easier.
From 1UP.com:
Feather and Glyph Location Maps: Check out these maps to see where to find every Feather and Glyph location in Assassin’s Creed 2.

Good luck and enjoy yourself!
When loading a disc in your Xbox 360 console, the disc spins but is not reading
Nov 3rd
When i thought i had every Xbox 360 error, another one came along.
The problem:
When loading a game into my 360, the disc spins for a second then stops. From displaying “Reading” it quickly changes to “Open tray”.
Possible causes:
1) There’s a problem with the console
2) There’s a problem with the hard drive
3) There’s a problem with the disc player – the laser got lazy
Possible solutions:
If you only have the problem above – NO screen freezing, No lights flashing – and you’ve already tried spinning several games, then try the following:
Splinter Cell: Conviction – Sam is back with shorter hair and sexier than ever
Jun 2nd
Early this morning i saw a new trailer of Splinter Cell: Conviction and i can’t even begin to tell you how excited and happy i was to see that the game makers are giving us back the old Sam…the Sam with short hair that is. Still mean, still gray and so much sexier.
His face features are somehow different. His new hair style and the beard doesn’t really make him look like a rebel but rather like a father seeking his daughter’s murder.
Because of the repeated delays and lack of news about Conviction, i started thinking that the game will not make it out anymore but the game will come out this fall and people, i can’t wait to play it.
You can clearly see that the makes have done a lot of extra work and this game is surely one worth waiting for.
So Splinter Cell lovers, Sam is back so prepare yourself. It’s going to be awesome.

Conviction will come out for Xbox 360 and PC only.

Possible fix – Can't join a friend's game on Xbox 360
Jan 2nd
This issue really kills me, so i went through some forums after reading something about “pings“.
Considering that the issue is to connect to another friend’s game or chat, it is only logic that this is a network related problem.
According to the guys from TeamXlink.co.uk – see this thread – “All 360 games have a ping limit on them that won’t allow you to join the game if the host’s ping is over 30ms to you.” -”you can help your ping by closing all other apps that use the internet .. msn, aim, torrents etc ..”
If you, for instance, are only allowed to use 1 connection – 1 IP that is, you must indeed close all other apps. In fact, keep your computer offline while playing on the xbox live.
My ISP allows me to use 4 IP’s, which makes things easier. I also make sure that there isn’t any IP conflict between my devices.
So, the solution above is applicable to those gamers who are allowed to use 1 IP address, but if you are allowed to more than 1 and you still have the issue, try the fix anyway.
Hope this helps.
Can't chat and play on Xbox Live – How many got this fixed?
Nov 7th
This issue really gets to me, as we all have been trying to fix this since the beginning of 2007.
It is ridiculous that no one from Microsoft Support Center came up with a logical explanation for this and with a fix.
What’s more ridiculous is that i get the feeling that they are relying on the forums and bloggers to find the fix.
Ok, i get it, the crowds can share more, but the answers we get when calling or e-mailing MS for this very issue are just a waste of time.
Today, after getting one other comment asking for help, i decided to make a checklist and look at this from a different angle. Read the rest of this entry »
