Hey Guys and Gals,

We moved the IRC chat room to a differnt server that is more safe and secure. For those of you who love the old school feel of times new roman and no smiley faces, head on over to irc.storagehouse.net and join channel #xbox-hq. It is required to register your nick and get a Vhost setup by the server admins. Feel free to talk about modding, and get your questions answered quickly.

Answers might come slowly at first, but once we get more members and admins in there, it shouldn't be too long before we have another strong option again.

Note: you will need an IRC client such as mIRC or CarpeDiem to access the HQ Chat room. to get them, go here:

For standard mIRC 6.16 or newer: http://www.mirc.com

For the extended CarpeDiem script: http://users.telenet.be/cds/

For mIRC Scripts: http://www.mircscripts.com

If those aren't your flavor, you can always google "IRC Scripts and addons" and find out what suits you best. So long for now, and I hope to see you in the chat!

Boys and girls, the xbox-hq IRC channel is back. For those of you who love the old school feel of times new roman and no smiley faces, head on over to EFNet and join channel #xbox-hq. Feel free to talk about modding, and get your questions answered quickly.

I'm still working on getting a few more things tweaked out, but it should be a bigger, better chat room here before too long. I just ask that if you come in, please idle and help get the room count high.

' The Wireless A/G Game Adapter (WGA54AG) has a estimated street price of $129 USD '

Linksys announced today its new Wireless A/G Game Adapter (WGA54AG), allowing game consoles wireless connection to the Internet for real-time multiplayer gaming.

Compatible with 802.11a, b and g compliant devices, the Wireless A/G Game Adapter works with network ready game consoles, including PlayStation 2, Xbox, and GameCube. The game adapter enables game consoles to connect to a network and play online games without running wires through the house.

It looks like the folks at Capcom Entertainment were only kidding when they sternly insisted over and over again that the GameCube action-thriller Resident Evil 4 would forever remain exclusive to Nintendo's console. The company on Sunday announced that, due to demand from users and shareholder influences, a PlayStation 2 build of Resident Evil 4 is now also in development.
