Amazing Aaron

I’m ranked #6 on Tweak Today! I really love that website, and I have really been using it a lot. I love submitting mission ideas the best. So much so that I got blamed for spamming. I got carried away a few nights ago and posted like 20 missions in a row. I thought they were all good mission ideas, but they all got voted down. Maybe they got voted down just because people were annoyed at me taking up the whole mission submission page with my ideas. I can totally understand that and I guess all I can say is Opps!
So anyway I have this great idea to get to first place. I’m going to go back to the very first mission and submit my entry for every mission that I have missed. I only joined a few months ago and the first mission was on February, 29 2009! So I have missed a lot of missions, and it’s a lot of fun to do anyway! I’m also going to try and do video submissions as much as possible, because I think that would be the funniest way to do it.
My current score is 10,360 and in order to reach first place I most reach the current high score of 20,579 held by nicolebliss. There isn’t a page on the Tweak Today site that list how many points you get for each action, but I think I have it figured out:

I've been playing on a new site called, Tweak Today. Its basically a site, that gives you a fun task, to complete each day. Todays task is "Take a picture of something you never thought you would own, but now you do". You can post a video, picture, or text, and there are know real rules, on how you complete the task. In fact the site encourages creativity in your submissions. Theres a new mission everyday, and its fun to see what people are going to post. I've been on Tweak Today for about a week now. I have not only been completing task, but also suggesting new task. Something everyone is encouraged to do. You get to vote on everyone's submissions, and the winner becomes the new mission, the next day. The only thing that is kinda annoying, is that no one wins. I think it would be cool, if they picked the most creative submission each day, as the winner, and displayed the entry, in a special area of the site, for bragging rights. Bragging rights, would be a cool enough prize, in itself! No need for any real prize, although that would be cool! Maybe they will do something like this in the future. The site is still very new! I have noticed, a little down time, along with a few bugs, but its still very fun, and usable. So check it out, and take a look at my submisions. I'm AmazingAaron over there!

So I just posted an update video to YouTube. Its been way to long, without putting up a new one. I've just been really busy, mostly because I moved, and it takes forever to get everything back together. I also got a new computer, and have been getting use to it. Its not the greatest computer ever, but its good enough, and it has a very nice 22" LCD, that makes things, so much better. In case your wondering, its a HP Pavilion, with a dual core AMD processor (64 bit), 3 GB ram, with a 1/2 TB hard drive. I love everything about it except the built in video card, which is way under powered, but that's easily upgraded. The thing I love about it most is the screen. I wanted a nice widescreen monitor most of all, and made sure I got one. Its a HP w2207h, and I love it.

The computer came with windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit. Which I think is strange, because it has a 64-bit processor, but at least its ready for the future, and speaking of the future, almost as soon as I got it, I installed Windows 7 Beta onto it, and I'm loving it. It runs better than vista ran on it! The interface is beautiful, and its much easier to navigate, and multitask once you get use to it. Its also the 64-bit version on Windows 7, so its built for the 64-bit chip in in my system. The only problem I've had with Windows 7, is it does not want to work with my video editing software, Adobe Premiere Elements 3, but Premiere Elements 3 is getting old (they just came out with version 5), so I guess I should not expect much, and Adobe will probable be releasing a patch soon. I have not had a chance to install any of my games yet, so I don't no how that will go, and I have not decided if I'm going to go back to Vista, or just stay with Windows 7 till its final release. I know its a beta, but I've been using it for my main computer for about 2 weeks, and have been very happy with it. Its very stable. I guess it just comes down to if I can live without my Adobe Premiere Elements till theres a fix for it. Anyway enough of 7 for now. I hope to be getting some YouTube videos up soon, and as I said in my newest video, I hope to put more up, more regularly!

I got some feedback from the post I wrote earlier about the Xbox 360’s NXE. I wrote that there where only 2 Community Channel Games available, but it turns out that I was looking at the featured list, and not the whole list (oops). It turns out that there are a lot of games already available to download and play. I have been playing a few of them, including one called Being by Jesse Chounard (which is the one who gave me the heads up, Thanks). Being is the only platformer I’ve found so far (and I love platformers), and found it fun to play. So give it a try, along with all the other games available! I’m still playing though them all myself. Below is the trailer for Being. I love the music, and sound effects. <br/><a href="http://video.msn.com/video.aspx?vid=a9e179e9-ed6f-473e-b63d-456c6a77c3b9" mce_href="http://video.msn.com/video.aspx?vid=a9e179e9-ed6f-473e-b63d-456c6a77c3b9" target="_new" title="Being Trailer">Video: Being Trailer</a>

Well I have been doing a lot of things lately. For one I have finally started selling all the junk in my attic. There is a lot of stuff up there, but it is shrinking now, as it goes out box by box to everywhere in the nation, and sometimes to other nations. I also just got done beating Metroid Prime 3. I bought the game when it first came out months ago, and just now got around to beating it. I was kinda disappointed by the final boss (Shadow Samus, and one of the Aura Units). I did unlock hard mode, so maybe I will try it again on that setting. I was also a little let down by the way the whole thing ended, but thats a whole post of its own. I have been working on a concept for a new show as well. I think I am going to call it the “Amazing Aaron Show”. It will be a freeform show. Whatever I feel like talking about, or doing that day, will be what the show is about. I want there to be a lot of how-tos and projects in it, because thats what I like to do, and it will give me an excuse to do more crazy projects. I’m also trying to decide if I want to put the show on youtube, or if I want to put it on a site like metacafe, where I could actually make some money off of it. Maybe I will just put it on both, I don’t know yet. I hope to have an episode up soon, so watch for it. I will definitely post an embed here, so you can all see it. All 2 of you (counting me). If you have an comments, or suggestions about the show, just leave me a comment on this post, and I’ll be sure to look it over. Its not like theres a big line of people just begging to post comments on here, or anything LOL. So post 2 or 3 if you want!
