A common “complaint”, if you will, women have with their men, is that they are still big kids.  And there’s definitely nothing wrong with that; it’s not a crime to enjoy the happiness that comes with being a child.  This being the holiday season, it’s interesting to see what a man would think about the following tech and toys and what would a woman think about the same thing.  I’ve gathered a few examples of “Toys for Boys” that are both amazing and awe-inspiring.  What I will do is present the case for you and then provide a reaction from a man and a woman.  For this “gender experiment”, I’m going to enlist the help of Mrs. Nguy. First on the docket is the Hoth diorama created completely in Lego.  The amazing thing about this creation is not just the detail but the planning involved.  If you have ever dreamed of recreating Camelot or the Death Star as a child (I know Lego makes on now...

Turrets! What the hell is an Aluminum Falcon?? Man’s Reaction: This is the most detail I have ever seen in the recreation of a movie scene with Lego.  The man who made this is extremely skilled and must have been so proud of his work.  His imagination knows no boundaries.  I wish I had his skills to realize my ideas.  I tip my hat off to his talent! Woman’s Reaction: What is this?  This isn’t a toy, if you’re not going to play with it afterwards then why build it?  If it’s just going to sit there, it’s going to be a lot of work to dust it without wrecking it.  Sure it’s creative and there’s lots of detail but I can’t see the fun in that, especially when you have no idea what you are to do with it after. It’s clear that a man and woman will look at this as something completely different.  But it looks like we can both appreciate that it took a lot of time and effort to create this diorama; even though only a man will see this as time well spent! Next up is in answer to Mrs. Nguy’s observation that the first was not a toy.  This is a Nerf Vulcan Cannon and made it fire 500 Rounds Per Minute!  To add insult to injury, they have given it a brand new paint job along with a LED shot counter a la Aliens.  Check out their “product placement” video, showcasing the mod job and the gun in action: [See post to watch Flash video] Man’s Reaction: This.  Is.  Awesome!  500 rounds per minute of Nerf-tastic fury!  What would it be like to rain down holy-hell on your enemies (cubical-mates) and see the look on their faces when you walk in with a Vulcan strapped to your shoulders!!  Unbelievable modification and wicked paint job.  I wonder what Mana-Potion tastes like? Woman’s Reaction: Boys seriously need to grow out of wanting to be a GI Joe.  You men love to hunt but you hate to be hunted - that other guy didn’t seem like he was enjoying it much after he was being shot.  It’s all based on competition and that coat of paint goes to show how much more manly you want your toys to look.  After so much hard work on making this modification, you think you could at least paint the gun with something other than a screwdriver! Another interesting observation.  It looks like women can’t see the coolness of this “toy” but instead see it as a manifestation of our inner primal nature.  Forever a perfectionist, women can’t seem to understand that age old adage men live by: “Good enough is good enough.” For our final exhibit, we turn to the crazy Japanese across the pond.  Their love of technology, gadgets, and giant battling robots knows no equal.  Their annual robot wars competition is nothing like the robots you see in North America.  These robots are as different as Gundams are to Lost in Space.  Check out some highlights of the fight: Man’s Reaction: This type of innovation will lead us into the robotics age.  The possibilities are endless, if they can do this with a 8″ robot, think of what they can do with a whole exo-suit!  What if they decided to build a real life Gundam?  Can you imagine if your motorbike could transform into a suit just like in Robotech?  This is unbelievable!! Woman’s Reaction: Again, this is a competition for superiority.  Men walking around slapping their chests but instead of swords and spears, it’s robot toys.  It is very ingenious to design a robot that can move in so many articulate ways and be able to work with it by just using a remote control.  Still, it’s just geeks showing off. Well, there you have it.  I’m happy to say that men and women are very different in their points of view with regards to technology, toys, and manly stuff in general.  I’m sure many of you have had to explain to your wives/girlfriends why it was necessary to get a PS3 when you already had a PS2 or that the noise from the Xbox360 was a necessary evil and you can’t keep it down.  No matter how much grief you get from the opposite sex, we as men still love our women and will treasure them always.  So this Christmas, gals, cut your geeks a break while guys, remember to tell them how much you appreciate them putting up with all your “upgrades” and “hobbies”.  And to my beautiful wife, thanks for a wonderful year and supporting my dream of being a podcaster and writer! Merry Christmas everyone and from us here at GamerWok, have a wonderful holiday season surrounded by good food, warm drinks, and the ones you cherish the most. Only a guy will appreciate this.

Some disclaimers and warnings to get out of the way first: This mod is not for the feint of heart, you will need to be comfortable with taking apart a 20GB hard drive enclosure and be proficient in using MS-DOS commands. The warranty of the 20GB hard drive will be void once you open it up so see if you can find one used or if you currently have one, know that you won’t be able...

You need to backup your saved games with either a memory card or you can use a software tool called Xplorer360 (more on that later) I am not responsible for any damages or harm that may happen to you, your console, your sister, your dog, your wife, by you following the instructions in this guide.  I’ve used it to successfully mod my own so I’m just sharing With that out of the way, here are the tools you are going to need to complete this mod: Torx 6 and Torx 10 screw drivers or bits (you can find this at Radio Shack or your local electronic stores - Torx 6 will be the harder one to find) Windows 98/XP based PC (Vista is not supported) that you can boot into MS-DOS (not just the command prompt in Windows but a full MS-DOS boot) USB thumb drive that’s 512MB or larger (the Kingston 1-2GB ones works well) Motherboard that supports SATA drive connections with appropriate Molex power connectors (check with your motherboard manual to confirm) 20GB XBOX 360 enclosure Western Digital 120GB 2.5″ Hard Drive: Model # WD1200BEVS Ability to boot into MS-DOS (refer Part 1) hddhackr.com hex workshop hddss.bin file for the new 120GB HDD (google search for hddss.bin 120 xbox 360 or find it at “the bay”) XBOX 360 Memory Card (and you can return it after you’re done if you want - we aren’t destroying it.) Assumptions: For this tutorial, I will assume you know how to find your SATA controllers and their corresponding port numbers You will be using the first SATA controller port for modding your HDD You will be backing up your gamesaves and gamertag to a memory card 1. Making the Boot Disk There are millions of different ways to make a boot disk.  If you have Win98, then you should still be rocking a floppy so that’s simple enough.  But if you have Win XP or Vista, then you need to follow one of these tutorials (NOTE: Kingston Flash drives worked best for me, not all USB drives can be made bootable - my SanDisk ones did not work reliably): The Easiest Tutorial (but may not work with ALL USB drives - Kingstons OK) If that didn’t work for you, you will need to look into using an ultimate boot CD, which is a much more complicated tutorial, but you will have a boot drive that can be very handy to have around. Now test your USB boot disk.  Restart your computer and go into the BIOS of your system (by holding DEL upon boot) and make sure you have the USB flash drive (which should show up as a hard drive) as the first boot device.  Refer to your computer’s manual on how to change these options.  If you have successfully booted to MS-DOS you should see something like this: The C:> is what you are interested in Remove the flash drive and boot back into Windows (CTRL-ALT-DEL). 2. Loading the necessary files Navigate to the root of the USB boot drive and copy the “hddhackr.com” and “hddss.bin” files there.  Here’s the tricky part, if you have a SATA controller that’s NOT Nforce 4, continue to part 3.  If you your SATA controller IS Nforce 4 or any nVidia controller, you are going to have to do some edits first so continue to 2a 2a. Editing hddhackr to auto detect your nVidia SATA controller Download and install HEX Workshop When in Windows type msinfo32 in your Run prompt (if in 98/XP) or search prompt in Vista Once the Information panel opens, navigate to Components/Storage/IDE and you should see something like this: SATA Ports 1 and 2 is what we are using write down the corresponding digits in the highlighted area of the screen shot, yours will be different but it will be in the same area on the first and third I/O Port lines that end in a “7″ Each set of controllers corresponds to your SATA Controllers, that first set would be your 1/2 SATA ports while the second set is your 3/4 SATA ports.  So depending on which port you plug your 360 Drive into, those are the sets of digits you need For Example, we are plugging in the 360 HDD into the FIRST SATA plug (refer to your motherboard instructions to see where the first port is) then the numbers I would need are 09F0 and 0970 Now open hddhackr.com with Hex Workshop Scroll to the very bottom of the hex editor and change the last 8 digits to 09F0 0970 (or whatever your system said in the previous steps) The last 8 digits is what you need to change Save the NEW hddhackr.com and replace or copy it to the flash drive (overwriting the old one if it’s already there) 3. Backing up your 360 saves and downloads You have two options, and the easiest one is to get yourself a memory card and just save all your stuff before you rip your 20GB HDD apart.  Trust me, buy it from a place you can return opened boxed items (yes, this is evil, but so is hacking) because you’re only going to need it once. Any of your larger downloads you can download again once your new HDD has been installed and formated. GAMERTAG: IMPORTANT - make sure you MOVE your gamertag to the memory card and not just copy.  When your new HDD is set up, MOVE it back from the card to the HDD. Another method involves you reading the information from the old HDD and copy it over to the new HDD with a program called Xplorer360.  That’s beyond the scope of this tutorial and frankly, I haven’t done that so I can’t show you how (there are reports of this program corrupting your saves so you have been warned!) 4. Flashing your New 120GB HDD Turn off your PC Disconnect ALL your SATA devices (you can leave the leaders plugged into the the motherboard) Connect your 120GB WD hard drive to the first SATA controller port Insert your MS-DOS boot drive into an USB port and reboot your computer Once you are at the DOS prompt, type in this at the C:> prompt: “hddhackr -f” (without the quotes) The program will ask you if you want to create an Undo file, say yes. You will get a prompt that says it’s been flashed successfully after a few minutes. Shut down the computer, wait 10 seconds, and reboot into DOS. type “hddhackr -f ” at the “C:> ” (again, without the quotes) a prompt should appear telling you that the drive should now work for the 360 5. Replacing your 20GB HDD with the new 120GB Watch this Video for disassembly, Amoeller on youtube did a much better job than I could ever have, as he says, this is the part where you will void your HDD warranty: [See post to watch Flash video] Repeat the steps in reverse to replace the 20GB HDD with the 120GB HDD 6. Format your New 120GB HDD for use Start your Xbox 360 console without a disc in the disc tray. In the System section of the Xbox 360 Dashboard, select Memory to view the Storage Devices area. In the Storage Devices area, select Hard Drive if you want to format the hard drive or other storage device, and then press the Y button on your Xbox 360 controller or on the remote control. In the Device Options area, select Format. You receive the following message: This will delete all content on this device. Do you want to continue? To format your Xbox 360 Hard Drive, select Yes. (NOTE: you maybe asked to enter in your console Serial Number, this is normal depending on the version of the dashboard you have and the SN can be found at the back of the console above the power plug) 7. Profit! Congratulations, you should now have a brand spanking new 120GB HDD for use with the new XBOX experience.  Perfect for installing all your games on to the drive with all that space.  It’s normal to only see 112GB of space on that new drive because MS reserves some space for system files.  Make sure you MOVE your gamertag back onto the new HDD and all your save files as well.  Feel free to re-download all your content from XBL too. I hope this guide was helpful!  If you have any comments or suggestions, leave a comment at the end of the post and I’ll be sure to help you out if I can or point you in the right direction!

As some of you have read and heard through the twitter and the podcast, I was experimenting with tutorials on how to hack the XBOX 360’s hard drive.  This hack is a little bit different as it doesn’t allow you to play backup games or participate in piracy but what it does is allow you to cheaply upgrade your XBOX 360’s hard drive from a 20GB to either a 60GB or 120GB hard drive.  For the purpose of this guide, I will focus on the 120GB since that will provide you the best bang for the buck and only set you back about $60 instead of the outrageous $150 MS wants.  Read on for the details!
