I hate it when people whinge about the stupidest of things. "whhhaaa whaa my themes are now useless, I want my pennies back". MS haven't made themes obsolete "not long after", themes have been kicking around since 2005, that's three years with themes, times change and things move on. Get used to it you pussy and stop counting your pennies.
And there's a reason MS are a billion dollar company, and it's because they can get away with charging for silly shit, because there's always some mug out there who will buy it. They never forced you to, they put it there for you to consider. You lapped it up, I doubt they care that you're complaining now.
Stop fucking acting like your better than everyone. You may have bought more themes than me you fucking cocky cunt. Yes themes have been around for a long time, my point was, even though the NXE is less than 3 weeks away, they STILL continue to sell themes, i thought that was pretty fucking obvious, but yeah, maybe not.
And you have no right to call someone a pussy for "counting pennies" without knowing their financial situation, so for once in your fucking life, shut the fuck up. I even said allow the insults, i really couldn't be arsed with it tonight, but you seem to find it impossible to not be a complete and utter cunt.
From now on just fucking ignore me, don't reply to anything i say and i wont reply to anything you say, cause you're a fucking annoying cunt, and i REALLY ... REALLY cant be bothered with you anymore.
Go hide under a rock and die or something.
I'm fucking off to a party now, enjoy sitting around and starting beef for no reason on here, like you do most days
I miss the days when Nino was "in charge" around here, was a much more fun place to be, explains why these forums have died since then.

Haha someone needs some loving.
If anyone is in financial trouble where they have to try and claw back themes from MS, I doubt they'd be wasting time online right now, there would surely be some more effective ways to cut costs.
People know the NXE is coming, if they choose to buy themes that's their own fault. MS don't have to help out with that if people are stupid enough to continue to buy them.
There's no way I'm gunna ignore you, it's pure entertainment for me. You don't handle banter very well; I'm not starting "beef" (so gangsta) I'm just voicing my opinion. You don't have to agree, but you could express yourself better than just saying go and die with expletives dotted around. That's not original at all.
And I say bring back Nino too!

What, you NEVER paid for a SINGLE theme? Or gamerpic? If not, you're one of the select few that hasn't.
Never paid for any, there are plenty of free themes and pics about, most are shit anyway.

Remind me to stop remodeling rooms of my house in one day....lol
Got up on Saturday morning at about 7AM....had breakfast and watched the rest of "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" with my wife.
Grabbed the crowbar, went into the bathroom and tore out the vanity, sink, and mirror. Gordon Freeman ain't got shit on me!
I installed all new and started painting....
"Tried" to relax yesterday but wife wanted more painting done...and I had bowling last night. I feel like I got hit with a truck being pushed by a freight train.

I rememer reading somewhere that you can opt to keep the old dashboard if you so choose, which means that if you do decide to carry on buying themes then it's up to them.

Anyone tried the new Tomb Raider demo yet? Seems pretty good to me, although it does seem to be exactly like Uncharted, but I don't think that's a bad thing as Uncharted is brilliant. Not being into Tomb Raider before is this what they are all like or have they been influenced by Drakes Fortune somewhat?

I think the only comparison with Uncharted is the jungle look. Tomb Raider was always about the puzzles while Uncharted was more about the action. The first Tomb Raiders were also like this, before the screwed up the IP :( As of Tomb Raider Legend it's back to the roots again \o/

Since when is M$ ethical? I would expect this sort of crap out of them.
And I for one have NEVER paid for a theme. Who cares what your xbox looks like when you're in between games? My current theme: Carbon. Works great, always has. That's probably why M$ is getting rid of them ... they are dumb.

No, I aint paying shit loads for windows when my mates got tonnes of cracked copies. Everything tastes better free, even windows, trust me, lick a cracked XP disk (don't bother with vista, yes everything tastes better free, but vista is a nasty taste anyway, its only a slight improvement free ;)), its like a fucking gourmet dinner!

Lack of drivers @ launch combined with companies putting it on machines that couldn't run it ... but it runs well on a machine that can do anything.

Runs well on both of mine. Plus, my desktop only has 2 gigs of ram. My laptop has 4gigs and I'm running 64 bit Vista on it.

Some "older" hardware isn't supported in Vista. I had an old printer for instance, which still worked perfectly, but HP didn't have any Vista drivers for it. So I had to use the built-in standard vista printer driver thing which doesn't really work so well.

It cost's £10 per year for xboxic.co.uk which I snapped up before twoxist got it who now has a forum very very close to thryons domain funny enough:)
then the hosting isn't all that expensive really if you look around.

I did not have a good night last night. Not only did we lose our 6 a side football but it's off to the hospital today for me, joy! My right foot is about twice as big as normal and really can't move it, just hope its not broken. Now just waiting to be picked up, I hate having to rely on people.

Ouch that must have been quite a tackle u took then!
The last time we played six a side one of the opposition broke his little finger served him right really he wore a top that said Sir Killer (ironic cos he was a weedly little WoW fanboi)
Bleach (i think its bleach he changes his gamertag every week) is playing GoW2 son of a bitch how does he do it?

Well turns out no broken foot so that is a good thing. Was super impressed at the hospital in a&e though, only took 45 mins from when we got there until when we left. I was thinking it was going to take a good few hours from previous experiences.
There's always complete cock bags that play football at any level, but 6/5 a side does seem to bring more than normal, normally handbags every week.

My mate broke his leg in two places playing five a side football (for those that don't know, sliding tackles are forbidden and result in an instant penalty). He was out for two years, and although he's still bloody good, he has gone backwards. And he can't bowl as well as cricket anymore.

I know how it is... I broke my left leg in 3 places a long time ago (a shed fell on me) which has caused my left leg to be just under 1/4 an Inch shorter than my right leg. Spent 7 weeks with it in traction and I can't play any sports that involve running...

In late 80's there was a few days in the UK we had 100 mile per hour winds. It was pretty bad and not sure if anyone can remember it. People were having tiles coming off their roof e.t.c but anyway as I was getting ready for school I went outside to wait for my father who wasn't far behind and the garden shed close by had lifted and landed on me.

he's mostly OK.
The only real lasting damage was a pinched nerve in his lower back. This has cut off Jay's ability to control the flexing of his sphincter, and while hillarious to 3rd parties, has created more than a few embarassign moments for J.
Esspecially whenever he coughs. Loads (pardom the pun) of fun for all but him.

Well check out the Call of Duty: WW thread as for me they rejected the offer and redeem points together for this game. I have £10 in game points still for another game, but quite lame that they wont let me use the two together to get £20 off it.

yeah I saw that :P Well atm they have taken my points off but I will see if they let me keep it that way pretty lame tho cos it doesn't state that on the email!
My email receipt has it at £39.99 :P not £34.99 so I think they will do the same as long as I get to keep those points I'll be happy I suppose!

wanna hear a funny story?
yesterday, I left the office a bit early to run a personal errand, and after that was done, I had planned to pick up GoW2. Not for nothing, as I just got CoD5, but a couple good friends have GoW and I wanted to play with them.
Money's tight, so I changed over what little Euro's I had from years ago to make the purchase and pay a couple bills.
On my way to the store to buy GoW, I got pulled over by a cop for speeding. Minor ticket, but still $110. So now I can no longer afford the game AGAIN!
Not the end of the world, right? After all, it was my own dumb ass that was speeding. I get that, though I'm less than happy about it. Anyways, I was feeling a bit stressed, so I felt that a night of shooting up the world in CoD would make me feel better.
30 mins into playing, my xbox died. No warnings, no mistakes, just death.
Broke dude + Speeding ticket - Xbox 360 = me

Yeah but I'm comparing currency to currency. 110 of USD or £ is a huge number for just a speeding fine. In my opinion anyway.

The problem with the gamercards on this website is when you have an avatar gamerpic they vanish... when you have a standard gamerpic it comes back.
This gamerpic below is the NXE is Live free one, is it also on the old dashboard too??

It is indeed, download it to be entered into some draw. Meh.

On the NXE feedback page for those with preview I have literally begged for a tab to be put on gamerpics options. I hate it that new ones are at bottom of the list after it has downloaded (unless you click change gamerpic right after download) but they should put in a Recently Downloaded tab to show you new ones first, not last. It's so irritating...
Ive noticed with the nxe thing as soon as you sign into Live it takes you to a section called Spotlight, instead of My Xbox...I hate the spotlight, it should be optional - fucking hate it everytime I sign in.
Im looking forward to the final finished version of the NXE on Wednesday just to see what they have added or taken out from everyones feedback.
Using the avatars in Uno will bring uno back to life I rekon.

I like both, but CoD is better for me.
This time around I really quite like Gears2 and the multiplayer too, but I can't put Call of Duty down right now - seriously way better than I thought. I was expecting something quite similar to Call of Duty 3 for the campaign mode. I even said it was going to be CoD3.5 but the campaign plays just as good as CoD4 and in some parts a WWII remake of CoD4.
On multiplayer is a map called 'Downfall' in all the time I've played multiplayer games online I have never seen a map as great as that in ANY game. It has to be the biggest, best designed, most amazing creation of a map I have seen in my life.
Google it or something...
its a phase they will soon be back
Some time ago a guy called Trigger something or other Man or M4N... said the same thing regarding Halo3 and Call of Duty 4...
Call of Duty is not like it was in the days of CoD2 IW blah blah greatness, Treyarch shit this that the other...
Call of Duty WW is so fucking intense. I am fucking hooked...
(well as I always am everytime its out..lol)

The gamerpic?
Yes when you create your avatar you have the option to create a gamerpic with it by making your avatar stand like a model and move head, zoom in, out...there are ways to make the avatar spin around and jump if you play with the buttons long enough.
Once you make the gamerpic and choose the bg colour, you save it. To make it your personal gamerpic you just go to your profile and change gamerpic and the avatar one will be first on the list for you to choose.
To have any other gamerpic in place of your avatar pic you just select from the gamerpic list in the normal way.

But there are ways to cap image sizes used, but I am more inclined to think it is also so that Curry doesn't have to use the images on his server as people would need to upload a signature image unless HTML could be used...then though if HTML could be used we'd have bigger spamming problems...
But Images in Sig's I hate that ! pages will take longer to load maybe too.

Some people are getting it already. Every single person who signed up to nxe preview got it this morning, and from what I can gather some other random people have had it by surprise tonight. 3 people on my friends list switched on about 1 hr ago and they have it now.
Takes about 15 minutes to download. You will get the first download which is an installer, then it will download the 2nd part giving you the minutes left...whatever you do - dont remove any mem cards or switch off as it could cause problems

You'll be fine, but just limited when installing games to HDD. Each game takes around 7GB. I've a 120GB HDD but even I only put on the games I intend to play most. CoD 4, CoD WW, & GEARS2...it's pointless throwing anything on it other than the game you intend to spend a lot of time on.

People are playing UNO again because the avatars can be used in them instead of vision cam. Means people who dont want cock waved in their faces can play again.
It has taken away the privacy because you can see everyone else in a friends party. For anyone who is interested, the Seriously 2.0 achievement in GEARS2 does NOT unlock a suit for the avatar, a guy on my friends list has it and tried it...nothing unless an update to GEARS2 comes soon which enables it.
Oh yeah my avatar here... exactly what you said...

I'm just going to try and complete the region challenges then I'll consider it done. It is ridiculously addictive, I didn't do much of the first game but have taken over on the sequal from the other half. I've since lent the 1st to my step bro who is nearly 30 and he got just as addicted, it's a game that looks so childish but looks can be decieving, its just a clever little strategy game.

I read a review of it today at eurogamer and they pretty much slated it, 4/10 :(
Still, hopefully you'll enjoy it and on a more serious note to earlier (although I still think you will always secretly keep the tube) congrats on the new lady friend!

I managed to get a copy for £21.50 as used my game points on it. I don't think it can be as bad as the last Sonic game though...but it's just a little loyalty I owe the hog for a good childhood...lol...
I got on with her really really well at work and we used to have a right laugh together...it was me quitting my job that kinda brought us closer - we keep in touch everyday...I pretty much guessed where it was heading...and we both went out yesterday and decided to give it a go as something more...
So at least some good came out of me walking out from my job :)

Lol that is quite a story! Its great when something comes of quitting a job!
I've see a review for Sonic Unleashed said without the werewolf bit it would have been a higher review think they gave it a 7!
I have my 20gb HDD to trade in its a toss up with Sonic and PoP!

LOL... I know what you mean... since I split up with my last girlfriend over two years ago (just before I joined Xboxic) I've really enjoyed being single, selfish, self centered, spendthrift with nothing to think about other than me and even more of me ...LOL....
When you are with someone, you always have to consider the other person in almost everything, but we've known each other nearly a year now and we've been out before...including that time I was drunk over the pool table, so she really has seen literally all sides to me.
I hope I don't end up fixed...lol...no tatt's for me, she smokes too and eats meat !!! I really must like her :D she don't smoke a great deal, and I rekon she will cut back even more for me or at least try I think/hope... im fine with the meat eating though.

Yeah easy to just say that things change very quickly when you're with someone !!
Sonic Unleashed is great ! Its exactly how a next gen sonic should be, it has a back to basic feel of just running through the levels, getting your rings, killing things... the werehog is good ! In fact his levels always feel a bit Tomb Raider-ish
Not sure how many has tried the MSN Beta...been using it for ages and then found out that with the new one you can sign in on MSN on multiple devices, xbox, phone, pc, laptop...all at the same time...
\o/ My sis bought me Tomb Raider Ltd Edition and I'll have it by Thursday... can't wait.

You're right...its like a reasurrance thing ( I think ) like has she changed her mind, maybe she just feels sorry for me..lol... but spoken to her loads and seeing her again Sunday.. things are OK...
I do need to stop it... maybe you're right as have been just over 2 years...

I think you're right on ... You can't let stuff like that get to you (or @ least show it outwardly) b/c it makes you unnattractive. You gotta act indiferent when it's driving you crazy that she hasn't called back yet. The last thing you'd want to do is scare the girl off.
Of course each girl's different ... I've been with girls who want you to check up on them all the time ... but they are definitely the exception, not the rule.
Edit: Someone should start a relationship advice thread.

Lol. Found this in an OLD thread:
Now, for some reason Microsoft left all their true next generation games untill two months away with Dead Rising being the first.
Question is, what games to get, because they left them till the last 3 months of the year. many of them come out within weeks of each other.
Here it goes for the UK:
1) Dead Rising (08 September 2006) VS. Splinter Cell 4: Double Agent (29 September 2006)
2) Gears Of War (03 November 2006) VS. Alan Wake (24 November 2006) VS. F.E.A.R (24 November 2006) VS Half-life 2 Ep.1+Ep2 and others. (TBA release 2006.)
From each llist (1+2) you can only choose one game... what would you get and why?
The reason I said one is because I have no job and still awaiting my GCSE results to come in, so I have no money.
Amazing how we are STILL yet to see pretty much anything from Alan Wake.
UKJAY
December 6th, 2008, 19:04
Ive given up on it...to be honest now I couldn't give a shit about it... they have ruined it now - when it comes out...its going to be one of those "about time" moments rather than a "thank god I so fucking need it" moment...
The timing of it is too late, should have been out ages ago - when it appears now it'll have shit graphics from some engine created years ago...
Fanappy
December 7th, 2008, 03:22
From what I heard there was a new trailer released with a film and its been delayed because they have totally remade the game engine! It has that Secret Window/ The Machinist look about it I am kind of still interested just purely cos the dev's also made Max Payne
But then again it probably will suck like Alone in the Dark :(
