One of our MVPs, Greg (GT: Goverland) has come up with a great idea to have fun with the community.
The "Mystery MVP". Everyone once in a while (not sure about the schedule yet) the MysteryMVP gamer will play a game. We have about 40 MVPs, so there are many people that can play. It is sure to be alot of fun, and definetly something cool for the community.

What is a Gamerscore Chart? It is a visual, graphical representation of your progress in regards to your gamerscore. If you have visited 360voice.com, you will have noticed gamerscore charts. I really am liking it, and hopefully can get it working on the side of my blog for all to see. Here is my progress right now (don't laugh at the lack of gamerscore points 
):

Well, today is July 4th. It is USA's 230th birthday, and I just got finished with work. Now off to a BBQ.
Hey everyone,
Aaron "Apoc" Kaufman, EA's Community Manager for the Battle for Middle Earth and Command and Conquer series, has a recap of the BFME2 Community Summit that was held up in Seattle.
Click here for the recap.
I went to shutdown Vista, and it started...but froze. So, I left it thinking...ok a program is holding it up. There was nothing on the screen but the background.
Well, when I woke up, it was still there. Now at the point where I need to shutdown, I just held my power button. Boy, who would have thought that would cause trouble.
Apparently the boot manager became corrupted or something. My buddy, and fellow Xbox MVP, told me that I should try Vista first. He mentioned how there were recovery options. He said if that didnt work, then try XP:MCE, and I would have to install Vista gain anyway...so I gave vista a shot.
It worked! I was really scared, almost lost everything.
