#NXPE
As you may recall, we're still in the process of creating our new site layout of XboxPolis.com, which temporarily closes our the site until we open the new one. So, progress report?

We got the design done, pretty much. Now we're adding articles and pages. Not much is done, but we just want to get it over with and start posting news. Anyway, nothing much is really going on around that area.


Wiki Xbox 360
As you may recall, we announced that the XboxPolis.com WIKI won't really exist, but we did announce a new version of it. There is currently a wiped out Wetpaint site known as Wiki Xbox 360, which is now accessible through http://wikixbox360.com/ or http://wikixbox360.xboxpolis.com/. The site still gets a lot of threads, but lacks all page updates. Unfortunately, I, USKB, could not be an admin there due to the amount already there. Still Yet, I was lucky enough to become moderator, and have admin capabilities through Wetpaint, except I have to contact them every time I want something changed. We plan to do a lot for the site, so stay tuned, and follow Wiki Xbox 360 on Twitter.



We out. That's all folks. Short post, a lot of work.

The Building is Here.

So. We bring you experiences.
First dubbed in the middle of 2009, the New XboxPolis.com Experience is finally becoming reality. On Wednesday, December 30th, 2009, USKB (me) began building the new site. Surely enough, I suck at it so far. But, in better terms, we actually got a lot accomplished considering I started late, which was around 5PM EST. The basic parts of the site are up, mainly graphical; which all included is backgrounds, headers, links, link-locked images, and a few more stuff. I can't say today was a great accomplishing day, but hey. We've got it down, meaning that, the account. We have absolutely no clue what to do really. So, that January 2010 date may not seem realistic to you, but I should be able to pull it off. Until then, I've been messing around with the domain, so you may get a hint or two at what the site is going to look like; by accessing it at http://www.xboxpolis.com/. Also, I want to add that ALL subdomains are more than likely to be down 98% of the time, due to all the changes. In gratitude to your reading, we're giving you a list of the URL's that you may not know (w/out the '.xboxpolis.com')


That is all. I think. Be ready for updates via Twitter. And lots of pics.

Holiday Cheer for the Holiday Queers.

A Goodbye to 09.
This rhyming doing anything good?
As we approach an exit of the year of 2009, we look back of what we got in gaming...

Halo 3: ODST = Good, not what we expected.
CoD: Modern Warfare 2 = Very Good, but seriously hackers and glitchers- can't you just play the game?
Assassin's Creed 2 = The Repeat is Over.
Forza Motorsport 3 = Vroom is good.
Batman: Arkham Asylum = meh.
Left Four People for Dead Two (Left 4 Dead 2) = Blowing up zombies is pretty hot, even with the absence of Zoey in the game (excluding newest DLC)
Dragon Age: Origins = That's a game, right? But it's by BioWare.

That's our (in)valid breakdown of the year 2009. We expect much out of you 2010. That means you Halo: Reach, Mass Effect 2 (also by BioWare), Dark Void, Bioshock 2, Army of Two: The 40th Day, Dante's Inferno, Bad Company 2, and Bayonetta. Do good, or we kill you.


The New XboxPolis.com Experience
We've been dubbin' it for months.
So, we've now taken a vow to stop gaming news and reviews on XboxPolis.com. Until the NXPE opens. Yeah. What is it? We barely know ourselves. We begin building December 27th, 2009, and then we expect to open within middle January, earlier, hopefully. It's mainly just the move and more complex site situation of XboxPolis.com, and it WILL bring in some good stuff. We'll release some screenshots along the way via Twitter and TwitPic, so follow us. We demand it.

We'll be delivering some awesome stuff soon, and ACTUAL GAME NEWS! Coming soon.


UPDATE: WHILE THE NEW XBOXPOLIS.COM EXPERIENCE WILL BECOME REALITY IN JANUARY 2010, WE ARE DELAYING THE BUILDING UP TO THE FIRST WEEK OF (JANUARY) 2010, AFTER NEW YEARS EVE. WE HOPE YOU DON'T CARE, AND HONESTLY...YOU REALLY SHOULDN'T.


WE OUT.
Adios. Until 2010. We'll keep bringin' it, and moar. Sorry for the short post, but get over it.
-USKB, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year from the little Gecko in Your Pocket.
