Don't you like the Irish? :(

And I think you mean THE SAGE 0524 :P (look at your Gamercard if you're confused ;))

Otherwise, awesome man! See you on Live!

Its fucking great( I will fire up CoD3 tonight, I was REALLY missing that game). Ireland is fucking awesome... oh and no it is 2405 because THE SAGE 0524 is an Australian account(I made it because i tried to import a xbox live 12 month card from there but that plan failed) so i am now using THE SAGE 2405 because it is a uk account. If anybody wants to play CoD3 this weekend send me an invite. xbox live FTW!

If youre just as good at GRAW 2 as you are at Gears, i wouldnt bother:P

Sage

July 27th, 2007, 14:31

Do you guys get major lag when playing GRAW2? and is the bravo pack for CoD3 worth it?

_Chris_

July 27th, 2007, 14:40

Only get lag in GRAW 2 if the host has a shit connection and shouldnt host large matches, but i've found the lag on GRAW 2 much better and happening a lot less than in GRAW 1

JasonA

Not really, it's only worth it if you've been playing it for months and sick of the same maps all the time - in ranked matches it's usually always old maps that are played 90% of the time.

Plus you are still yet to accept my friend request...

I'm going blockbuster in 10/15 minutes to rent a game for some whoring, out of TMNT, F4 ROTSS, and Transformers, which one you think i should grab given the option of all three?

Probably TMNT. You can complete it in no time. Especially if its a rental as youl be done with it by the time it needs returned.

Sage

July 27th, 2007, 16:16

No TMNT in stock, no transformers for rent yet, so i got myself ROTSS, gonna stick it on in a few minutes, also got some of that new "coke with orange" nice stuff.. two of my favourite things, coke, and orange flavoured things:*)

There are just a few little tiny things I have to clear up, but once I have signed on the dotted line I'll make an announcement thread as some sort of send off...lol (Im not leaving this site !! It's just I havent got it set in stone.)
It's a tv show where it'll be about me and 5 others rather than me working on it - but theres loads of stuff to clear up and sort out first and filming doesn't start until November.

Is that a YES?

Surprisingly not, i'm very low on money at all times, my shitty job pays £50 odd a week. I rent games, and this new site i have signed up for, £10 a month and they send a game to you, play it as much as you want, send it back when youre done, they send you another, transformers was dispacted today, i'll have it monday, i will complete it, send it back, get something else:) all for £10 a month, not bad at all in my book, WELL worth it for all the achievements i will get, and money i will save, games i wanna play for a couple months but not buy i can just rent from there untill im done, its a really good site, though UK only as far as i'm aware, you can check if you want:
www.swapgame.com

JasonA

July 27th, 2007, 22:24

Is that a YES?

It is a 99% YES, but theres tiny little stuff that needs to be sorted before I get contracted to it to make double sure from their point of view that Im not some lunatic. I have a filmed interview on Monday with questions about how I will react to certain situations. They will be able to tell with body language and how I come across along with a few psychological questions if they made the right choice. It's not an audition no more, it's about being certain I am stable and up to it as well as probably some legal stuff and insurance. It's like double double checking.

For sage:

At the minute Im whoring old games from where earlier this year a load of goods one got released and I was too busy to play, but I bought them anyway.

I doubt it's available in Ireland. We have one of those services, it is expensive, and they have a crap stock of games.

Yes...:) I have learnt from that, trouble is because they dont give much away. They're either checking that Im still like that or checking that Im not??

This show though is a documentary, no cleaning, no prizes...

They weren't impressed.

I had to wear a chines scarf round my head and play some russion roulette style game because we was split in to two teams. In short I abused my own team for not wanting to take risks when it was clearly obvious the show was about risk taking (it wasn't on tv then) I just made it quite clear what a stupid team I was in and was horrible to all of them and ignored team instructions, plus it was all on camera and I probably looked a dick head...it was awful, can see why I wasn't picked!

Sage

August 1st, 2007, 19:49

Its still going strong although with the addition of the intercooler it is almost unbearably loud, but hey as long as its working im happy.PS I just discovered that GRAW2 is great fun online(my first try online a while back was so laggy that it put me off GRAW for a while but now i cant stop playing). Paul: how dead rising(I saw you wer playing it over the weekend)?

Paul: how is dead rising(my english left me for a while there, it must be the zulu in me thats causing these lapses)

Paul Tancred

August 3rd, 2007, 00:11

Dead Rising is great. Only thing is the stupid text, but if you set your 360 to widescreen, it's not so bad.
