This past Christmas we got Garrett a loft bed from Ikea and the TV wall mount that matches. I spent about 2.5 hours on Christmas Eve putting the bed together and then we wrapped it up for Christmas morning. He was very surprised to get it which made it all worth it. I put the wall mount up on Christmas day with his new TV he got because the old one fell off his dresser and broke about a month before. So he now has one of the coolest rooms I’ve seen where he can watch TV and play Xbox up in his loft bed. I posted pictures of the new room setup and even a pic of the bed wrapped up on my Flickr Account.

Four new Xbox360 games came my way this past Christmas. I got Need For Speed ProStreet from my Mom and Call of Duty 4 from Jennifer, Garrett and Averie. I beat Call of Duty 4 in a week of playing off and on when I had time I enjoyed it so much I went out and used some gift cards to get Call of Duty 2 and 3. Â COD4 was hands down the most amazing FPS I have played which I will write about in more detail but for now all I can say is AMAZING! Anyway I started COD2 but quickly moved onto NFS ProStreet for something other than a FPS.
I have been playing the NFS series since the beginning and I must say this is definitely the best yet even if it doesn’t include police chases.So I decided to buy the Xbox 360 Wireless Racing Wheel to use while playing the rest of NFS ProStreet and any other Racers that I get in the future. After researching for a while I was still unsure that this wheel was going to work with the new NFS but I decided to bite the bullet and if all else failed I would buy Forza 2 since it was supposedly design specifically for Forza 2. I was happy to find out that it does indeed work with NFS Prostreet and surprisingly well. I really like this wheel even though it’s the only one I have ever owned. It feels very sturdy and the force feedback and rumble make for a more realistic driving experience.
Once I got comfortable using the wheel controller I was looking to get it on some kind of mounting system instead of using it on my lap which works pretty well but It can get a little annoying when the force feedback makes the wheel jump around a little and the pedals move slightly as your racing.After some more research I found this site and got inspired. So with a couple trips to Home Depot I’m now building my own custom Racing Wheel stand for a full on racing experience. I’m hoping to finish this on Saturday so I will post pictures ASAP.
