Bethesda Softworks today released a patch for the Xbox 360 and PC versions of the Shivering Isles expansion pack for Oblivion. Xbox Live prompts 360 players to install the patch when the game is launched; the PC version can be downloaded from Bethesda’s website. My contact at the company, Pete Hines, sent the below info regarding the patch:

Specifically for this update:

Fixed a crash caused by bad form IDs

Fixes an issue where the game would try to use a form IDs that was either restricted or not available yet.

Fixed an issue where form IDs were not being marked as free properly, causing objects to disappear in game.

Thanks for the update, Pete.

While my first post on JOEyGADGET.com last year was about Oblivion being a bit of a bore, my feeling about the game has changed, thanks to the Shivering Isles expansion pack that was released several weeks ago. With so much focus in a single (yet huge) region, my enthusiasm for the game has been reignited, and I’m spending many late nights deep in the game.

I’m nuts about the dual realties of Mania and Dementia, and I’ll be sorry when the add-on ends. But by then I’ll be so much more powerful I’m actually excited about diving back into the main quest.

Update (Monday, Aug 7): Finished Prey and finally bumped my lame-ass Gamerscore past 1000. Definitely my all-around favorite 360 game so far, thanks in large part to the save-anywhere feature and the fact that you can’t really die. I’ve sent it off to my friend Ricky Wright to play, and I’m back with some Oblivion now and then, and into the second or third level of Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legends.

Update (Friday, June 30): From an insider pal, the below. And obviously it was sooner, because you can get it right now on Xbox Live, just in time for weekend play.

“I hear it’s coming this weekend or even sooner, fyi”

Update: Straight from Jay Boor of 2K’s mouth e-mail reply:

Right on, Jay, thanks for taking the time to the reply. I know you want it out there as badly as we want to download it and dive in. We’re eagerly a-waitin’.

Update: From an Xbox 360 team contact:

Hey Joe,
There is no definite time right now. 2K may be able to give you more information.

Tried to stay awake last night for the midnight (EST) arrival of the Prey demo, but sleep won over. While the PC demo is available, not so for Xbox 360. I’ve put in a text message to an inside contact and am waiting to hear back from him on when the Prey for Xbox 360 demo will be downloadable from Xbox Live. Stay tuned.

Nokia LifeBlog: Blogging by Cellphone Redux (or the learn-as-you-go version)

My home officeUPDATE: As you can see in my prior entry, I gleefully shared my experience of blogging by cellphone, but when I checked the post, not everything turned out as expected. I learned that the note I filled out on the phone creates a caption but doesn’t necessarily place it where I want. And that the url for Nokia LifeBlog didn’t show up as HTML. So here is the corrected entry, fixed on the PC, with strike-throughs for a few cuts and fixes, and new text highlighted. Live and learn.

Having blogged yesterday on how the Nokia 6682 is a great pocket-sized office-on-the-go, I left out one very key feature: Nokia LifeBlog Nokia LifeBlog. With it, I can snap a photo when I’m out and about (or bound to my actual home office, as shown here), add a note the body text (which you are reading), and then post it directly to my blog, directly right from the phone.

This will be very useful when I want to post blog pictures from various videogame and tech tech and videogame press events or shows that I attend, as they are happening. Alternately, you can connect the phone to your desktop PC (Windows only, no Mac support, which sucks) and tidy up your shots and text before posting from the LifeBlog desktop application.

Both applications – the one for your Nokia phone, and the other for your Windows PC – can be downloaded for free at http://www.nokia.com/lifeblog www.nokia.com/lifeblog. You can also go there to find out which phones besides the 6682 can do the LifeBlog thang.
