We're still what some would consider newlyweds...so that's a given....however, this particular reason is due to work. I can no longer wake up whenever I want and stroll into work (for example...this entire week I never made it in before 1pm).

Not to doubt my slowly improving skills, but I was sitting there thinking to myself "sweeeet!" when I was cleaning the room up for a bit - especially the 3 kill one. Don't worry, Matt. I suppose it was my turn to carry you during the game. I see what you have to put up with from me so often...bless you, sir. Bless you all!!! :):):)

Regardless, it was still fun playing with familiar folks...those kids sure were braindead, weren't they?

Two Worlds online only supports 8 people as opposed to WoW's thousands upon thousands of people. I believe the PC version of Two Worlds has hundreds of people but we are talking about the 360 version and thats definately locked down at 8. You can password protect your online game too so none of the idiots get in, thats why I'm trying to get 8 boardmembers together to max out the online game and go terrorize trolls and maybe hobbits if they are in the game.

Anyone here have one of those Datel Transfer Kits? I bought one cause the rosters for ncaa 08 I bought off ebay were just emailed to me as a file. My problem is I can't figure out where I'm supposed to put them on the memory card to have them show up on the 360. Doesn't seem to matter which directory I put them in they never show up. :confused:

Plus the rosters I bought seem to be too big for my 64 MB card. I had to find another roster file on the web that was smaller so I could even fit them on the card.

Awesome I want a full team of 8 out there beating the crap out of things. I think pyrrhonist said he was in too...so that makes 5.

I should be in, as long as I catch up on the unfinished games I have. I need to put the finishing touches on Oblivion (just the main quest and DL content to go), and also on Saints Row (side missions and Rollaz missions...unless there is more---NO SPOILERS, please!). Plus, I scored a cheap copy of the "Gold Edition" Marvel: UA this weekend, so add another. What's killing me now is besides my free online Lackluster coupon I can use for a game rental in-store, you can now trade your online envelopes in the store to get games for $4.99. Much better than the over-priced $8-9 they charge. I've been renting too much. But, if I can get those games mentioned done (or at least caught up), I should up for it. I don't want it to be like November/December/Jan all over again, where it's just the 1 game all the time. :D

So that your shotgun fires something other then cotton balls...like mine does


You know what would be crazy...if they added the "kill-cam" from COD2 to Gears. That used to show exactly how far behind the other players you were. Running around the corner of a building...blam...dead...thinking..."how in the hell did I get shot from that angle around the corner of a cement building".....you get to watch the "kill-cam" replay of your own death from your opponents point of view....only to see that you were 2 feet away from even rounding the corner on his screen when he popped you. That would be great in Gears ;) People would be freaking out..."I shot you 6 times and you shot me once"....."look at that...I hit you with the boom shot point blank and nothing"....that'd be great

that was terrible....and embarassing...thank god I returned it today. Before I play any multiplayer online game again...I'm upgrading to cable. Someguy's numbers are just ridiculous with a cable connection, I still cannot get over an upload rate of close to 3k....I wish I had a 100Xs better shotgun :(

My parents have cable at their place. I cant stand it. Sure at times the speed is faster, but the connection is so unstable that it just sucks. The way cable works is that you share your connection with the entire area for that cable box. So it kind of depends on how many people have cable in your area as to how fast your speed will be. Plus I have had a lot of packet loss issues on cable. There are also times where it just decides it doesnt want to work. DSL at least is a connection for your house alone.

Either that, or get yourself a Gold copy of the game. I finally bought the game...broke down. It's actually not that bad, considering when I first saw it coming out, I decided not to, since I figured after playing through both X-Men Legends games, it'd be more of the exact same thing. The bad news, though, is apparently you can't continue a saved game with the new content. Crap, as I am already in deep on Act 3. :mad:

Man, I just played in the g@yest Gears matches ever! My two teammates were downing me and our other team mate and then "pretending" they were doing the downed characters. And the other would go to the front of the downed character and pretend well you know..... I can not believe people are this f***king lame. It is pretty much pathetic in all ways of the word. They were loud annoying and laughing/joking about it the whole time. Saying totally obnoxious things like "Oh you like it when I f___ you dont baby". etc. I may get banned for this post. But I am in shock I guess that some people have to act like total ******s. Maybe they were picked on alot as kids or are total outcasts in high school. And when they are on Live they feel as if they are "cool" or "untouchable" so they can act like this.. I dont know sorry, I guess I had to just vent about these two jack*****'s.

From Bungie with reguards to coop online:


The Internet’s hair was lit on fire this week and in between running around the kitchen screaming and waiting for the faucet to fill up with the cool water of logic a bunch of hair got torched. Have you ever smelled burnt hair? We’re not recommending you go out and try and A) burn your own hair or B) burn someone else’s hair, but just take our word for it – the smell of burnt hair is the smell of a thousand failures being vomited from the gullet of a tentacled creature hiding in a wet hole. It’s gross.

We didn’t start the fire, but a series of reports that spread from an unfortunate leak of an upcoming issue of U.S. enthusiast magazine Electronic Gaming Monthly spiraled out of control and suddenly reports on the Internet included salacious headlines like “Halo 3 Co-Op Heads Offline” and heads needed to be dipped in ice water in order to prevail.

All we confirmed to EGM for their sweet, mind-twitterpating Campaign reveal (and other massive feature reveal) regarding Cooperative Play in Halo 3’s Campaign is that System Link co-op will be included in Halo 3. Just like we told EGM, we’re aware that people want co-op online but the challenge of getting our complicated A.I. systems, huge game world, and gargantuan encounters neatly packaged and transferring across the Interwebz is a mythic undertaking. Nonetheless, like other elements of Halo 3, online co-op is a feature we’re wrestling with somewhere in a muddy and muggy Florida swamp against a ton-toothed Alligator, but, what we haven’t really talked about is how big the knife we brought to the wrasslin’ match is.

All that said, EGM doesn’t really know whether or not Halo 3 will ship with online co-op, only Bungie knows. The only thing they did know is that co-op was available for split-screen and System Link. As we approach the tail end of development, we will have a clearer picture of whether or not that online feature will be included. Assuming either way would be foolish at this time. We will say more when we feel it’s prudent. Because that’s how we roll.

Since the designs of these cars are "locked" by the original artist, I cannot gift them to anybody. Only the original artist of locked designs can gift the car or sell on the Auction House.

If the design was unlocked I could copy it all sorts of cars and gift them to anybody.

You do need the game to get cars gifted to you

If you get the game, let me know and I'll help you out. I can gift some cars that I don't need anymore.

Also, visit http://www.forzamotorsport.net People have lots of cool designs out there they are selling for game credits.

Basically you can't upload pictures, you have to use the shapes and colors in the design center. Also requires artistic skill, patience, and hours upon hours of free time.

That is cool news but I'm still not sold on HD-DVD. I like that "300" is going to be LIVE marketplace but it sucks that movies only stay on your harddrive for a limited time:( :rolleyes: .

Heroes for free is sweetness but it will suck if it's also on your harddrive for a limited time.

so, when you call for a box, what do you need for the warranty? just the serial #?

avsfan21
07-26-2007, 09:05 PM
They will ask for the serial # and I guess some how they know if it is under warranty or not. I told him the serial # and he was like yeah that is still a warranty on it. I was thinking how the hell do you know when I bought it, but I didnt argue since he said it was all good. I just thought it was kind of strange. Although I had previously registered my 360, but that was a while after I bought it.

Simple - ever notice when you buy a game system, they ring up the serial number? check the receipt. That tells Microsoft exactly when the system was purchased.

avsfan21
07-26-2007, 09:23 PM
I havent bought a system at a store but the normally from what I could tell is just ring the bar code on the box not the serial number on the system. I ordered my 360 off of amazon so I have no idea what they did.

Stores scan both, I'm sure Amazon does the same. That's why there is a hole in the box to offer access to the serial number. Had the store not scanned it, Microsoft wouldn't have had a purchase date on record.

can someone give an education on Xbox live.....I understand the have silver and gold membership where I have to pay a monthly fee..but I have other questions about it..

1) what do i need to connect to it?? I have a cable modem in the office where my game system is and I am curious if there is other equipment needed and what do i plug my 360 into??

2)Is it easy to download extras like characters, cars, maps, etc????

3) I am not very up to date on my user account for regualr play on xbox 360 so is it easy to then become online with my current info?? (what i mean by this is I see some of your sigs in here contain your profile and I am not very knowledgeable about the profile)

Buy a router and connect it to your 360 from it wired.

Yes, very easy

Scott's right. When I called after my first system took a dump, the agent brought up my profile in their system, and knew immediately what my warranty status, serial number, etc were. They already have it on file.

You don't need to do anything else to your Live profile. Just get the router like Sbrooks1 mentioned and just follow the instructions after you hook it up.

"Shun" and "sold" are 2 different terms, Scott! :D

I've never once had the lag issues in R6 games that I had with Gears of War. Plus, I've still got single-player stuff to accomplish in R6, whereas between Keith, David, and KillaB, I've played through the miniscule campaign (If you can call it that) of Gears' more than I'd like to admit. :p

Plus, the community in R6 has always treated me well (even going back to the previous Xbox incarnations). You can get rooms where it's pistols-only, and people agree to these versions. In Gears of War, it just became shotgun-city....but you know this, because we've all said it, ad-nauseum.

What I really wanted to play against you in was NHL2K7, but alas, I've sold that now, too!! ;)
