General Slowchat topic

I just meant that it's "his place" in the sense that these people are his friends and this is "his place" to kind of get away from me. I know I CAN post here, it's just not wise that I do.

He's just a poster here, just like you.. you were both here before me so not his call i think.. But that's just my opinion. You should do what you like.

[JasonA]

Yeah lets get Jerry Springer involved too

[Ivan Joidherpus]

hey Jay, did you do the game-save thing for any GoW2 achievements?
If so, you'd best not update it next time you play. I just read on kotaku that MS is zeroing out any gamerscores if people have glitched GoW2 achievemetns or something.

They're wise to you man.
tsk-tsk!

note: they only mention GoW2, no other games.

[_Chris_]

Yeah i read that about 5 minutes ago, so pleased i didn't cheat.

[JasonA]

OMG its worse than that

[Ivan Joidherpus]

worse? how so?

explainations man!

[JasonA]

worse? how so?

explainations man!

If my console got a live ban I'd be gutted... but would just buy another console and consider using and abusing the banned one every way possible.

[whatev]

Lol have you seen the way he treats 90% of the people on here?

I love you man, but you gotta stop getting so butthurt about the other Chris. This is the internet. It's nothing personal.

[Chris]

I love you man, but you gotta stop getting so butthurt about the other Chris. This is the internet. It's nothing personal.

agreed.

[JasonA]

agreed.

So how you feeling now... still FML ?

[_Chris_]

I love you man, but you gotta stop getting so butthurt about the other Chris. This is the internet. It's nothing personal.
That had nothing to do with me, i was simply pointing out that Emily called people here his friends, as you said, this is the net, noone is your friend, plus if they WERE, based on how he treats PEOPLE, not me, no-one would call him friend. thats all. I'm well over the whole "youre gay" "youre gay" lameness.
So how you feeling now... still FML ?

I love how you think Chris and Emily are the same person:P

[JasonA]

I love how you think Chris and Emily are the same person:P

Yes lol...actually theres been a few others too in the past...

Augustus & MaxPowerSr

Max Robot & ArialAssassin something or other...

I wonder who my mystery couple will be next LOL some people are so similar its freaky...

[Jamzy No 2]

Naysebtc and thyron or _chris_, can't rember which but i remember there were nasty words exchaged.

didn't read that properly, i thought u were talking about arguments :S

[JasonA]

Yeah theres been a few good arguments in here over the years. Nayse came in and started with an argument with Ohio Chris & Possibly Mass I think...

[whatev]

Let's not forget the class me versus everyone Halo arguements from 2007.

[toyota4x4]

Haha..I think I was apart of the halo arguments!! Fighting the good fight for all the fellow anti-gaylo ppl!! :P

[Emily]

mystery couple

Definitely NOT a couple anymore.

[_Chris_]

Ouch. You okay?
...Probably not the best place to ask...

[JasonA]

Definitely NOT a couple anymore.

You're making me so curious as to what happened!!! How come you aint saying anything...and Chris is sooo unusually quiet - is it really THAT bad that things can't be worked out...whatever it was...

[Chris]

it's bad. she'll tell the forum if she wants.

[JasonA]

[Jamzy No 2]

lmao, that is class.

[JasonA]

_chris_ got removed from my console friends list by accident LOL when Halo3 is in and you go to your friends list to check service records - remove friend is right above it and I clicked it by accident then shouted fuck fuck fuck LOL....

added him again...accept my friends request _chris_ PLEASE!!! :D

[Emily]

Since he told me doesn't care if I say it, I'll say it :)

He cheated on me with a 37 year old woman who happens to have a 10 year old kid. He's 22 years old and he's fucking around with a woman old enough to be his mother. It's pathetic, really, breaking up a 5 year relationship for someone like that. But what are you gonna do?

[toyota4x4]

Ouch :(...The way I see things anybody under 25 shouldnt even worry with things like this. Just go out and have as much fun as you can. After 25 you can look at relationships diff and with more thought. Plus every guys gotta try some strange eventually!! :P jk

I am crap at advice - but really what he has done to you is fucking terrible, and Im sure he knows it. If theres no going back with you two if things can't be worked out- the only way forward is for you to make that completely break and cut off from him otherwise coming here and reminding yourself of him all the time will fuel up your anger over the issue. Be strong, cut short the reminders and move on!

The problem is its so common isnt it, lots of people do one offs and do strange things before they grow up eventually! It just depends how much they value their 5 yr relationship - does he really want to be with her? Can she ever forgive him for it or trust him ever again? Probably not - but its always the woman who can take control over the situation and move on altogether - cut her losses cos there will be someone out there who'll treat her better...

[toyota4x4]

Hell yeah its to common. You should see the pregnancy rate for girls under 20 around the area where im from. Its a shame really, I mean there lives are changed forever..before there even 20!! Fuck that I got other things Id rather be doin. Stupid is stupid does is all I can say.

[JasonA]

I took a comment down off the front page for a guy deliberately trashing the E3 news and saying we are sexist. Just not having shit like that pointed at newswriters. If it was at another commenter then fine, but nothing at the guy who writes it!

Swedish Pete apparently :) Said that your 'yay' was sexist and unprofessional. My comment is still on wordpress, but his i think is gone forever O-)

[_Chris_]

Yeah i've seen the comments still on wordpress but i would have liked to have seen the offending post. Meh. Fuck it. Just got home from work and on my way back out to get wasted. Though i say one thing, my post about sexy women did do EXACTLY what i wanted it to: draw some extra attention our way and bring todays stats up a bit. I think i succeeded.

[toyota4x4]

Feel free to take my 2nd comment down to Jay. Its kinda pointless without Swedish Petes comment up!! lol

[JasonA]

Damnit. Deleting all my articles comments... I want lots of comments!!! BLEGH!

[JasonA]

You'd have flipped !! and I know you would be able to see the guys email addy!!! I took it down because it was just to rile everyone up and I think its ok to agree or disagree with an article, but he referred to the site as sexist amongst other shit all because you said about giving us something to look at. If the comment wasn't a needless personal attack it would be there now - but the other comments was just people responding to him... he just wanted a 'moment' but it was out of order.

Haha WOW. I wasn't expecting that.

Chris, I wanna see pics. Is she a stupid suicide girl/woman or an actual Vicky Vette milf?

EXACTLY! Pics or it didn't happen.

I'd need Pics of both so I can judge if it was worth it (sorry Em, I'm the biggest prick on the planet).

LOL @ stupid suicide girl

[Emily]

Oh there's pretty much "no going back." I can't imagine myself ever sleeping with or even kissing a man who cheated on me after 5 great years.

And to whomever said the "no serious relationship until you're 25": That's cool if you're a normal immature 21/22 year old. But when you've already grown up for various reasons, there's no reason to wait. I'm ready to be married and start my life with another person. If Chris got cold feet, that's his deal.

More "I don't care" much actually.

Also if you were Chris' first and only, I'm not surprised it went the way it has. If it didn't happen now, it'd only happen later. I'm not generalising men par se, but very few men (probably women too) stick with their first for the rest of their lives.

Keep up the forum drama, my sadistic side needs feeding. And Chris, I want those pics!

As someone who's cheated on a girl or two ... I wouldn't take it too personally. Especially if you guys have been doing the whole high school romance thing ... I did the same thing and made a ton of mistakes that ruined a 4 year relationship. If she would take me back this day I would be with her. i regret what I did so bad, but she wouldn't even listen.

Hormones definately can overrule the brain when it comes to men. Every women I've ever known can't grasp that, and that's b/c they don't have a penis. Sometimes it just completely takes over your brain. So if he's sorry, i would try. It's proably worth it. Plus you get a freebie, right? :P

For the record my comment is a joke.

NEW POST: Well what the hell someone took that down too. We can't be turning into the comment Nazi's.

Let me remind you, comment wars drive hitcounts sky high.

[JasonA]

Its not personal. Comments that are marked as a reply to removed comments automatically get taken down with them. They should be thankful I am not Ross as the whole fucking news piece would have come down too (I imagine lol )

I think for unintelligent people to start reading the riot act on sexism, censorship, and whatever other shit was being thrown at Newsposters and not other commenters - then anything not related to the news content in general that we find derogatory to ourselves can be wiped out. Dont need to encourage others to have pops at the writers. Talk about the news or argue with each other...

I also replied to the cunt, but unfortunately it got taken down together with his post.. no problem though. Removing it is much better. What an ass..

Well it got a whole lot more interesting later on!

'You're saying "Them" - its not "Them" It was one person - just one! waging a war on censorship issue which most of his comments are left there. I dont have to keep insults about me up there - and his hits were like what about 10 hits max. His 10 bad hits would put 10 times more than that off coming back.

And I am not getting into it today cos all that crap was yesterday but if it was directed at you then you are entitled to leave it up there.

so anyone for pimms?

[JasonA]

so anyone for pimms?

I've never tried it, but heard it was nice - they were dishing em out on the cruise ship at £2 a glass with Ice & Lemon, but I never bothered :( I was hooked on a cocktail called Green Jade which is totally the best one I've ever had - albeit £6 a glass! greedy fuckers!

More "I don't care" much actually.

Oh I just noticed this! (Poor Emily!) but I should imagine the 37yr old is just the 'one' she knew about which Im still not sure how she found out unless he has just come out and told her. I dont know if it was a one off or if he's now with the old lady? anyone ..... I'd like a pic of emily and a pic of the other women see what he left her for!

[Jamzy No 2]

skittles is my fav cocktail, ive never actulley had pimms either, but i love the advert.

Ugh stop talking about alcohol... Seriously hungover right now... Lots of beer, JD. Just woke up... My head hurts...

I know this is the right place to mention it, and I hope that some of you out there get it.

So I've got a Blackberry 8900 Curve. Great phone. True story.
Anyways, last night, I got a new theme. I've turned my BB into a PipBoy 3000 from Fallout. Its sweet. Also a true story.

follow the link if you've got one too. They have the theme for other models, butyou'll need to search their forums.

Yeah Im getting a blackberry when my current phone contract runs out in August, think I only mentioned it in here the other day too...

The pipboy thing looks good, wonder if theres any CoD stuff for it...I so want a Blackberry, especially now they are a lot smaller than they used to be too.

I can't handle drinking the same drink all night so I usually switch between cocktails and pints, or whiskey if I'm feeling hardcore but I ususally end up dead if i get on that to early. ;).

I can't touch whiskey or Rum for that matter... but I love Vodka.

you could get 200ms points for 2 cokezone points. It has been running for last few fridays but today was first i remembered. They ran out in like 20 mins today, i got 600 so that was pretty good going

[_Chris_]

So what do i actually do? Cause i have SHITLOADS of old coke bottles, saving up for coke zone points just not done it yet. Got about 50 empty 2 litre multipack bottles...

[46Matt]

Think today was the last ms points day. Pretty sure you can get some EA xbox games on there in exchange for some cokezone points as well. Easy to get signed up then just enter the codes from the bottles I guess.

[JasonA]

Yeah all the bottles Chris should codes on the side, my sister saves them up for other things - think there was a Coke Music Promotion, sure she gets loads of songs and other shit with them...

No the sensible thing to have done, if indeed you can't handle criticism, constructive or otherwise, is to close commenting for that article. Removing the comments that YOU didn't like just makes the site look ridiculous, especially when y'all start arguing amongst crew members.

Grow a pair and leave the comments there, pussies. Unless it's a racist comment leave it, you can't expect 100% good comments on all your articles. Just take a look at any of my review's comments. I didn't take those down, crying like a baby.

I can handle criticism, constructive and otherwise and I consider sexism equally morally wrong as racism and I removed 1 comment in which all the flaming replies attached went down with it automatically in whatever wordpress does!

The guy bitching, and the death comments towards me wasn't even the guy who was banging on about the sexism shit - he was pissed that his evil reply to it got removed and he said I was, thats all there was to it really.

Thats twice I've been told to grow a pair now this week - I may be third time lucky ;)

Well the sexism started in the original article, rightly or wrongly. So if you're gunna take down sexist comments, you should take down the whole article.

Of course. I'm not saying it should, I'm pointing out that Jay is being hypocritical and subjective.

[_Chris_]

I dont see how my post can be seen as sexist, everywhere you go you see half naked women and all sorts of models associated with other things men like, gadgets, cars and such. Car conventions have half naked women EVERYWHERE, but when it comes to a games convention its sexist? Fucking ridiculous. Men like to look at women, that is a fact of life, when did everyone start forgetting that?!

[JasonA]

Of course. I'm not saying it should, I'm pointing out that Jay is being hypocritical and subjective.

All this bullshit that we are still all yapping on pointlessly stems as I keep pointing out from a guy who considered his reply to the sexist remarked being removed as censorship.

All the other 20 crap pieces he posted regarding what I done, I feel I am justified in removing them - nothing was about the article and nothing was about news. I also think boot on the other foot, Rival would have taken it down about him - and you would have taken it down about you because he was continually here just to battle and be a nuisance, one of the reasons I think all the good commenters fucked off.

I can't help it if I got standards and yes I removed shit from the front page, abuse just deters people away. If people aren't commenting about the news in question and purposely posting to be a nuisance you wouldn't have had it. So why you are talking about being hypocritical - likewise!!

It comes down to the fact that the car industry, the videogame industry or any man-dominated industry treat women as objects. Don't get me wrong, I'm as sexist as the day is long, but I can see why people would find the post offensive/sexist, because it is.

I'll talk about it wherever. People won't comment on the news when they feel the post is being offensive and you have to be objective when you look at the comment, understand where they are coming from.

I think the reason all the "good" commenters fucked off (if there is such a thing!) is because the site died for two months.

But whatever, it's a pointless debate. I'm merely playing Devil's Advocate.

[JasonA]

You know Im really not sure people are aware of what sexism actually is...

Men wanting to look at half naked women is not sexist, its men who look at women as just objects which are sexist? People know that sexism and sexist from a blokes point of view is about treating women as inferiors - right? or discriminate because they are women its being biased against women.

Chris stated in his news post that Exhibitors are using booth babes to draw extra attention to themselves - that is using models to get noticed like most brands - its not sexist or treating women as an inferior sex.

Sexual objectification is sexist. If you can't see any part in the text below that is objectifying women, then you must be blind.



disobeying these rules would result in one warning, fail to hide all the skin and be fined 5000 USD on the spot. Any offending models would be re-clothed immediately, what men could bring themselves to do that?
Since then E3 heavily downsized to make publishers focus on their products over elaborate set-ups with half naked women parading around to draw people in. Only this year, E3 is back, and it seems horny. The ESA estimate around 40,000 trade-only visitors will attend.

OK so it's poorly written, you could miss it. But I can fully understand why people may take offence from statements such as "what men [man, presumably] could bring themselves to do that?".

Again, merely playing Devil's Advocate, but I can see why certain people would react in a negative way.

Perhaps Emily would like to comment now that she has a bit more free time?

OK so it's poorly written, you could miss it. But I can fully understand why people may take offence from statements such as "what men [man, presumably] could bring themselves to do that?".

Again, merely playing Devil's Advocate, but I can see why certain people would react in a negative way.

Perhaps Emily would like to comment now that she has a bit more free time?

Sexual objectification is not always sexist, it depends on the individual point of view and what the person is thinking at the time of objectifying. If the woman is shown or thought of as merely nothing more than a sexual object without a brain in her head and clearly only good enough for fucking - thats sexist, if the woman is shown and thought of as being an attractive looking model, doing a decent job, providing for her family and kids, looks quite interesting person - that is not sexist - depends how much disregard there is involved because men look at women and women look at men and that isn't a permanent form of sexual objectification if this was your response to my comment over 'men look at women'?

Chris's newspost - disobeying these rules would result in one warning, fail to hide all the skin and be fined 5000 USD on the spot. Any offending models would be re-clothed immediately, what men could bring themselves to do that?

I took that to be, what men could ask an offending model to cover up offensive skin and fine them on the spot... like you say the devils advocate thing because it could have been better written and better explained. Because I don't think in a sexist way I couldn't interpret that as objectification at all. But, women showing skin should not have been classed as offensive either and to be fined for showing skin is even worse!!! I was more shocked at that.

Why bitch at Emily too - Im sure chris didnt take up all her time? but yeah be good to hear a womans point of view on it.

No the sensible thing to have done, if indeed you can't handle criticism, constructive or otherwise, is to close commenting for that article. Removing the comments that YOU didn't like just makes the site look ridiculous, especially when y'all start arguing amongst crew members.

Grow a pair and leave the comments there, pussies. Unless it's a racist comment leave it, you can't expect 100% good comments on all your articles. Just take a look at any of my review's comments. I didn't take those down, crying like a baby.

Exactly, any (non-racist) comment is fair game in my book. I didn't want to get into it with Jay but this is the internet we're talking about here. Allmost every article I've ever written had something negative to so about me personally. Maybe that had to do with my lack of polish as a writer, but still.

yes - but still....indeed...comments less worse than what I deleted have been removed by others, Smitty for instance why should his comments about the PS3 have been wiped by Ross - for the same instance that he (smitty) was being a nuisance and a dick head as was H34RT 4TT4CK when I deleted his... its no different. I am literally done with repeating myself, the fucking comments were deleted, get over it...

Im in the middle of unlocking my Sony Ericsson K850i so that I can use another networks sim card - this is so boring.... download the official Sony updating service 30MB, then 30min hunt to find my phones USB cable, plug that in to wait for another 42mb download to overwrite my phones software which the updating service found for it - then download the unlocking software to break it free of '3' who is my network - then I have to download new firmware so that the phone will work with T-Mobile, my new operator who operates a better signal from my village, than '3' ... bored now - so bored... im only at the updating service bit and its too slow :(

are we aloud to edit it like wikipedia? or is it a staff only type thing?

On another note... I finally got my phone working after I bricked it...
I reinstalled the official firmware, then found a FREE unlocking program called AERIX which will make any phone sim free, for totally free !!! all I had to do was load up aerix, choose my phone model, then take out phone battery and sim card, put battery back in, connect phone usb cable to pc - then hold buttons 2&5 whilst connecting the other end into the phone... 10seconds later I have a sim free Sony K850i YAY!!!!!! which now means I am not paying my crappy 3 phone bill and getting a new sim...

Then you join the joy of T-Mobile........:(

Haha... yeah but living rural no other network other than T-Mobile provide the best quality signal. With 3 I have to have phone sat on the window and can only receive texts cos if I answered the phone it would cut off...

T-Mobile I can walk around the house anywhere with full signal. I like their new Solo Plan for £15 per month I can send unlimited text messages and make 350 mins of calls, plus I am not tied to an 18month contract.

3 is so crap that I am not paying them anymore - I pay £25 per month for a phone I can barely use - fuck em! I have 6 months left til my contract ends, but I can't bring myself to keep paying them for a poor service.

@Jamzy - have you joined the xboxic wiki ? I was able to create an account and have the option to edit stuff today!

[46Matt]

I have the same problem with T-Mobile, reception is crap most places anyway but in my house it is virtually non-existant. Also had my account hacked and extra lines added without my knowledge, so their security is poor. In the process of leaving them at the moment.

Yeah I had left them before I joined 3. The only reason I first joined them was I had a mobile phone from EasyMobiles if you've ever heard of Stelios and EasyJet I was one of the first few customers to trial EasyMobiles which he paid T-mobile to carry his phone traffic. At the time that started it was a REALLY good phone deal, 1p per minute and 1p per text !!! but for some reason it never took off !!! and when it failed miserably I went to T-Mobile.

Referee wasn't much better yesterday in the Arsenal vs United match either!

[Jamzy No 2]

Referee wasn't much better yesterday in the Arsenal vs United match either!

True, but the only major decision he got wrong was the Fletcher penalty. I guess some would say the freekick as well, but i felt it was a free kick just a really light one, because contact was minimal.

Did you see the amount of decisions the ref yesterday got wrong? I'd say about 4 penalties for Chelsea and the sending off was wrong abidal completely missed anelka and anelka fell down.

Also UEFA not having a appeal system for red cards is just stupid. I Feel sorry for Abidal and Fletcher.

[Fanappy]

Yeah Fletcher prob wasn't a red card, but the penalty was really not gonna change anything!

Yeah no appeal is stupid I thort that the cards were cleared for the final but that was the old system!

It was harsh on Chelsea but then again they didn't kill of the match! Drogba scuffed at least 2 good chances!

[Jamzy No 2]

I know evreyone says they didn't kill the match but maybe the could have scored in play for the penalties. espechially the Pique penalty which wasn't giving, Chelsea were through on goal and he took it away using his arm. I know they should have finished the game off, but if you are getting your chances took off you illegialy, then you have the right to feel abit pissed off.

Anyway on another note my local team Gateshead are in the confrence north final, I'm going to see them tomorrow. =D. If they win it'll be 2 promotions in a row. Also Man U in the final, so I'm happy about that. I don't really like Chelsea that much, but that ref really...grinds my gears ;)

Ohh and I wasn't saying the penalty was major for the game, just that it was a wrong descion and it's cost Fletcher so it was more major for him.

I can't remember it in detail but Im sure you have to create a new Windows Live ID from your PC and then associate new email address to the gamertag on the console manage profile settings... I think so that the console knows the new age associated with the new Live email addy?

It's not, they are diffrent stores; we are mainly Media (games, films, music) based. Cash convorters are similar, but they sell things like speakers, instruments, tv. We only sell more advanced electronic equipment, like digital cameras, Laptops, graphics cards, phones. we don't buy tv's (well we buy moniters), toasters and stuff like that.

CEX is a fantastic place to sell games for more money when they have any in the tills to give out.The two near my Uni is weird though and always full of people trying to sell mobile phones. They haven't really been able to buy my games the last few times I went there because of the no money in the till situation. :)

I think you might have a hard time trying to sell them if prices are too high Ross. It seem that games nowdays fall in price so quickly after a week or so!If it helps though whatever price online it will be the one your given in store but if they have lots of that game it could be refused.

I agree - I wont buy games anymore on launch day and haven't done since Gears2 fuck up where that dropped really quickly (excluding anything CoD related of course!!) I complained, got a £10 off a game voucher, then they took it off me! and I've never ordered a game with GAME from that day onwards...but I will get CoD6 Ltd Edition from them as they always seem to offer pre-orders first.

A lot of games seem to drop to £29.99 very very quickly and then around the £19.99 mark. I tend to think it is easier to take in more money by offering games cheaply rather than keeping them higher priced and encourage people to buy 2nd hand off ebay. Most games on ebay 2nd hand are higher priced than what they are in a store now brand new!

The till situation tends to happen all the time at ours (Newcastle). We very rarely refuse tho, as any thing bought in can be transfered to other stores. And the prices do fall all the time, although for some reason our call of duty prices never seem to drop, I'm sure call of duty 4 still costs like £25 even though most stuff released after is already down in price.

[Fanappy]

HMV are my new little find for trading in games give you more than Game do! They even pay you the same as what they offer as in store credit which is always nice! I dunno where the nearest CEX is to me think there is one in Woking mayb.....

Also I just noticed we have groups. It's abit wierd, and I don't think anyone uses them. But I just wanted to point out that we only have 2 groups, the one for Elite members has more members than the one for people who were born as humans.

So we have more elite member robots than we have normal humans :P

On another note, I've been watching the office USA, I started last week from series 1, and I'm onto series 3. I just love how they are all working and evrey so often someone just pulls down the blinds and they all start playing call of duty. :)
I really didn't like the UK version but I'm proper addicted to the US version.

[Chris]

wtf ukjay. UPDATE!?

[JasonA]

I haven't been called back yet.

[Chris]

It'll only take 304 years.

[JasonA]

It'll only take 304 years.

Ah 'Call of Duty 310' will sure be good...
Im calling them back tomorrow with the new reference number if I've not heard anything...I can only think they have a problem with something account related

[Jamzy No 2]

It'll make up for the rubbish call of duty: Les Vegas 84. Which comes out in 303 years, but everyone will slowly drift back onto call of duty 308 anyway.

[JasonA]

You know If there is a CoD:Las Vegas - you heard it here first "I will NOT buy it" !!!

[Jamzy No 2]

You know If there is a CoD:Las Vegas - you heard it here first "I will NOT buy it" !!!

Even if Infinity Ward develop it?

[JasonA]

Even if Infinity Ward develop it?

It'll probably be passed to Ubisoft the Las Vegas experts by then...

On another matter - called xbox support again, they are still waiting on Senior Technical Support but have given my mobile number now in case Im out so they can ring me anytime, part of the problem WAS changing my gamertags twice and associated email addy, and then reovering my account twice and then changing my email addy back to the original one. Its caused a bit of concern and think my profile got issues...theres things is should have it hasn't and things it shouldnt have it has.. :( oh balls...my profile needs fixing...

[JasonA]

Happy Birthday \o/ - from the future..I know you are probably 5hrs behind, but its your Birthday right now in the UK

Hope you get cake...

[JasonA]

OH *YAAWWN! Xbox Live called me and I now fully know everything about everything. I got awarded something, but something else on my profile made them have cause for concerns. So basically I will know if I get my reward by next week now...and Im not publicly saying what my reward was and for anyone who can guess - please dont announce it! But because of something I done foolishly has probably ruined it for me :(

Anyway fingers crossed!!! they just needed to clear something up first and have taken my answers back to higher technical support...so they're on it, it's just they using xbox customer support as a go between which is annoying and probably why its so slow...

but hey next week or sooner - fingers crossed! my award!!!!

[Fanappy]

So has any body played Wolverine and like it?

[JasonA]

You know - I was gonna mention that as seen Chris on it....spill the beans _Chris_

[charmed699]

I meant to do this earlier but I started watching last 2 episodes of Lost.

Hope you have a very cool remainder of your special day mate and sorry but I just couldn't resist using the connection. :P

LOL

[_Chris_]

For a movie game, very impressive indeed, some of the kills are fucking NICE. Though as with all movie game it is pretty damn short, not much replay-ability either, but for one play through its well worth it. Rent it people, don't buy it.
I urge everyone to at least try this game out. By far the best Wolverine experience to date.

RENT IT

[Fanappy]

Just played the demo a lot of fun, be better when u have a fully unlocked Wolverine too!

[_Chris_]

Yeah i'm taking it back and switching it for Battlestions: Pacific today. You people need to buy this game. I'm off out to get it in a few minutes.


BATTLESTATIONNNNNNNNNS!!!!!

[toyota4x4]

I may end up getting Battlestations 2 some time. I played Battlestations 1 and it was a really good game and tried the demo for 2 and it looks to be another really solid war strategy game. But with UFC 09 out next tues. thats were my moneys goin unless that game isnt all its made out to be the ill get Battlestations sooner.

[Rossko_UK]

Bought Fallout 3 for £17.93 yesterday online which is coming next week, woop! But, get home today and find my 360 has red ringed. My one and a half year old Elite is no more.

Oh dear! My little elite had that August last year, and so far so good (fingers crossed and touching hairy wood) hope I dont get it soon...the most pissed off I could ever be is if it happened when Call of Duty came out...

Reading that took me back to the scene in the matrix with the architect.

WTF?!8)7

[JasonA]

oh fuck it, I just as well say (since I guess the forums aint clogged with people)... I was given Recon Armour, but because of my profile (long story) it got removed and MS contacted me - now im waiting to hear if its coming back to me. Should know in a few days.

[Rossko_UK]

And to think I thought it'd be interesting. Gaylo shit, boo to you Jay.

[JasonA]

And to think I thought it'd be interesting. Gaylo shit, boo to you Jay.

:) Somehow it is still the number 1 played game...I dont even like it, but yet I can't stop playing it...its just the only thing decent around to play online I guess...til MW2

If CoD4 had released more than 1 map pack it would have lasted longer... if CoDWW didn't feel like CoD4 it would have lasted longer, but the amount of people using Mods online is a joke now...

mm since CoD4 got updated could go back to that I guess...

[The_Glovner]

Fucking British fucking government expenses scandals! Shit from the fucking home office to try and get a straight forward visa sorted out costing my over 2K so Jaqui Fucking Smith can pay for her husbands wank flicks just because she is a shrivelled up dried husk of a cunt.

[JasonA]

^ agreed !!!

My fucking net is playing up bad!
I just watched Something about Mary on Channel4 and it starred Major Nelson as her brother Warren, Im sure of it :D

Red Faction Mutiplayer demo!!
I can't wait for this, I was in the beta but no one i knew was. I'm hoping to get afew multplayer games of practice before the full game is out.

[JasonA]

Some really funny adult orientated adult humour videos at The Onion (http://www.theonion.com/content/video/study_children_exposed_to)

Watch a few of them, I laughed!!! and laughed...

http://www.theonion.com/content/video/are_violent_video_games

^ funny too

edit: wow I sounded like a spammer...

oh god you gotta watch these

Those videos are so bizarre but yet really funny!

"Get down there with an axe and hack,hack and hack!"

I think everyone would problably die from withdrawals of games after the apocalypse. :P

Also it seems I have scared poor strawbs away with my image! Come back Strawbs, it won't bite! :)

[JasonA]

Well I had an enjoyable Birthday yesterday...peace...peace and more peace...no work...no nothing...no phones, no writing, no absolute nothing...just me, my dog and xbox360

[Jamzy No 2]

ohh didn't know it was your birthday, happy birthday for yesterday :D

[JasonA]

ohh didn't know it was your birthday, happy birthday for yesterday :D

Thank you... I'm now a whopping great rancidly seemingly old number of tw-tw-twen- (29) :'(

[charmed699]

Happy late birthday for yesterday Jason and sorry but I read it and thought you were impersonating Strawbs. :P

As Joey always says:

"Why meeeeeee! We had a deal that I wouldn't get older."

Or something along those lines.

[JasonA]

:) only 363 days til I'm 30

[Jamzy No 2]

:) only 363 days til I'm 30

:D only 4423 days til I'm 30

only 40 days till I'm 18. much more important.

[JasonA]

:D only 4423 days til I'm 30

only 40 days till I'm 18. much more important.

Yeah 18 is quite an important time, you take responsibility for yourself and your actions as an adult, but wait til you hit 21 - you wont feel like the same person you was at 18. I think you grow up so fast between 18 & 21...then you will mentally kinda stay 21 forever but everything else gets older :'(

edit: for anyone who has me on their list...MS is controlling my gamertag right now, and making changes -

Update: They changed it back to my old gamertag of Mr Jay A and then my new, back and forth twice... they have confirmed that my gamertag data information got lost and can see my Recon is now corrupt. They are going to talk to Bungie to reinstate it now they have tested my gamertag.

I am not all that bothered because first and foremost I can still connect to xbox live! good times... Recon will be available to everyone with ODST anyway...but pfft...

My gamertag is now back to normal... yay...

Update: Well I got contacted by a guy from Bungie...and all he said is... 'I can't see Recon on your account, its tied to your gamertag and I can't see it'

I have now posted him a video of what happened when I sign into Halo3, and given him the confirmation that my gamertag and profile was screwed up as MS tested it today, and I recovered a fixed version.

[charmed699]

That has been a rather complicated process to get your gamertag fixed mate! I hope you manage to get it sorted out soon enough so you can get back into gaming. :)

As for ages I say we just focus on the present and make of it without pondering too much on the far future!

[JasonA]

Yeah it got fixed yesterday afternoon.

Following such a poor response from Bungie, (but MS confirmed they will inform them of my gamertag screw up) I did a bit of digging around on 3 other people who had recently been awarded Recon too and 2 out of 3 confirmed on many other places and talk openly about their modded 360's, their pirated games, hacked maps and such like on Twitter and other sites. They didn't hack or mod a way to get Recon, it was given to them and considering Bungie & MS operate that it goes to non cheaters - its pretty stupid!

[TwoXist]

Whats up people? Been a long time since i have been on here. Looks dead...

Yeah the forums are LOL, FP still get a hefty amount of readers

[Chris]

All thanks to mostly you!

[_Chris_]

And a bit by me... Though admittedly not much as of late. That will change soon.

[TwoXist]

The front page is still why i come around. Its quick and easy game news.


Side note..I still cant use IMG tags on this site? Really?

Testing...

Nope, as always. Seems fine. Maybe something your end?

[JasonA]

Haha that always makes me laugh that fail shark...it so just sums up the fail-ness of whatever its applied to...

...and yeah _chris_ did cover all of March and Half of April... and I know when he is in his flow of things he can deliver...

Whatev is the one who shocked me... he came, he saw, he vanished....
Cage is better on the lengthy stuff - noticed he puts a LOT more into his content than I do, but he writes a lot less of it - but it compensates and its good stuff..
_Chris_ & Me are probably quite similar in news posting in that we can just get it out there and fast in a "there's your news and to the point" kind of way...read it and comment...

then theres the other Chris who tries...once he can stop playin with the old birds... :)

The front page is still why i come around. Its quick and easy game news.

? cant you just press the little yellow button or has it been disabled on your profile account

Fail shark fucking RULES. I'm glad i brought it to the forums. One day it will show up on the FP, thats a promise, its juat a matter of finding the right article.

My milf had fake tits.

My milf had fake tits.

I take it she got bored of them?

[Chris]

Haha. Nope. I did.

[JasonA]

Haha. Nope. I did.

:D yeah surgeons need to create fake ones that can move more I say...

[Chris]

The best way I can describe it is when her bra was off, it still felt like she had a bra on.

[JasonA]

The best way I can describe it is when her bra was off, it still felt like she had a bra on.

Wow! weird...

[Chris]

Like they were bound up by something invisible. No movement.

[_Chris_]

Nothing at ALL? Hmm.. See weird as it may sound, i've always though fake tits look pretty nice (everyone i've ever spoken to about this says they much prefer the look of naturals, myself, i like both), are they really THAT stiff?

[Chris]

They weren't rocks or anything. I didn't feel like I was feeling up a statue or something. It's just not natural feeling enough. I guess the uncanny valley applies to tits too.

[charmed699]

You guys have been doing a stellar job of trying to keep the site lively so well done. :)

Have you thought of maybe getting some ideas together for new features like launch month for a specific title or getting in contact with developers for email interviews?

I am glad to see your problem is orted Jason as it is one less problem for you.

Not sure if anyone is into Virtua Tennis but went to play latest one yesterday at SEGA and Wii version is surprising! :D

[JasonA]

I've tried the developer thing and Im constantly reminded of using press releases because other sites contact developers too and they can't speak to everyone.

I've just been surprised today by a news item about a wireless motion sensing skateboard for the 360 that you stand on. Im hoping to get something brief about it on xboxic about pretty soon

[Jamzy No 2]

Try asking a few of the newer xbla devolpers. They are always trying to get abit of coverage for thier games and it'd be a good boost to the site. Maybe DenisDenis would let you do a quick sort of interview, but if not there are alot of games which arn't covered much and I'm sure the devolpers wouldn't mind saying a few things. XBLA may not be the most popular, but it would be a good place to start.

Or even choose someone who has made a popular community game as the gamer of the moment.

[charmed699]

That's a very good idea Jamzy and even better giving it a twist saying it's a community developer spotlight. :)

I find signing up to press sites of companies helps with news and for them to know your site more. I will try to help you guys too with anything I can.

[The_Glovner]

Like they were bound up by something invisible. No movement.

Should have smacked them with a bat, bet the fuckers would have moved then.

On a side note if anyone hasn't seen the new Dr Tran, 100% Ice (Parts 1, 2 & 3) I can highly recommend them.

Laugh? Laugh? I nearly shat.

Yeah I'm on to it...now

[Jamzy No 2]

I love Fallout 3. I love how much thier supporting it. In July it will have been out for 10 months and will have 5 pieces of DLC (pretty major pieces of DLC as well). I'm hoping for one Giant expansion, abit like shivering isles for oblivion. I'd also be happy if there were just a sort of side quest pack which don't add new areas but adds new missions in the wasteland. Even if they don't this game will keep me going for a long time yet.

[JasonA]

Is it really that good? - as I don't own it nor never played it, but I am getting Game of the Year edition.

Im waiting to get:

MW2, OFP2: DragonRising, Tigerwoods 10, Halo3: ODST, Fallout3:GotY Ed', Gears2 All Fronts Pack, Battlefield 1943, and probably 1 or 2 others...

[Fanappy]

I am waiting for the Fallout 3 GOTY ed, save me some money! I love companies who make decent DLC!

[toyota4x4]

HELLO!!! from virginia punks!! Ive finally found a comp with the net and snuck away from work for a moment. Im here on buisness staying in lexington,va. Ive got some awesome pics ill post up sometime next week. If I can get over to General Lees grave today I may cut outta work early to see that. Anyway back to work...:'(

Fallout 3 is one of the best games that I have ever played, truly brilliant. Takes a few hours for it to really get going but once it does it really sucks you in.

I should get the dlc at some point but having some off time with the xbox at the moment.

[JasonA]

Well sounds like Im in for a good time of it when it's released in October...

[Jamzy No 2]

Fallout 3 is amazing!!

[JasonA]

You're making me feel like rushing out to buy a 2nd hand copy...getting tempted.

Fallout 3 is amazing!!

I popped this into the disc tray last night after reading some of the comments here. I don't remember why I stopped playing (probably got a newer game 8)7) but I was right at the end.

Like literally. I walked into a door I was facing, and next thing I know I'm following some giant robot dude.

and btw, my character was as evil as they get, and I poisoned the water plant. hahahahahaha, chumps!>:)

[TwoXist]

Personally i didn't like Fallout 3. After about a half hour of play i realized i was just playing Oblivion with guns. And a few weeks after that realization it was uninstalled from my computer.
