General Slowchat topic

[Curry]

You mean, this article (http://digg.com/gaming_news/Xboxic_explains_why_the_120gig_price_tag_might_be_ a_rip_off_It_is)? ;)
8)7

Yeah that's the one. The summary isn't quite realistic though. I was saying wholesale price is 50~55 (which I know for a fact, I got quoted a price of 52 for 100+), but he's kinda forgetting the whole packaging, logistics and electronics thingy. Still, I don't see any way to bring the entire backend cost over 80 bucks at best, so that's some 120% profit. That's a bit too much for me to accept, even though I know the WLAN adapter and the like also net them 100%: at least you can choose to go wired there, for the harddisks you're at Microsoft's mercy.

Especially the fact that I know a 120GB drive is barely 20 bucks more expensive in wholesale than a 20GB one makes me highly skeptical of a $80 higher price.

So, I was browsing though Kotaku (boo, hiss, boo) and guess who I came across?

E2K says:

Xbox lovers, prepare to shit your pants if they give the ps3 version the "oblivion" treatment... ;)

By that i don't mean removing rumble and releasing it 12 months late, but rather have it run smoother, better looking, and faster loading.

Plus make some good psn trophies, like a big daddy who walks around your PShome, guarding your uploaded porn and music ;) yes folks, that's possible with the playstation network. PS3 is not only about better graphics and paying 300 dollar extra you know :)

Haha (http://kotaku.com/gaming/bioshock/bioshock-a-lock-for-ps3-250434.php#c1229450)

Horay!! On the subject of my 360 being completely fucked (if anyone of you remember;)) well even though my warrenty had ran out, i called Microsoft and im getting it repaired/replaced... No charge:*) and a new AV cable seeing as mine was a bit on the screwed side..

After about two months of only being able to play arcade and Fight Night.. I SHALL RETURN TO THE WORLD OF XBOX LIVE!!!!!!

Awwww we missed him here O+

I was supposed to meet him at the PS3 launch event here in NL, but in the end I didn't notice him, so he's apparently less of an idiot IRL (or didn't show up).

Im waiting on GRAW2 and Tetris Evo which should be with me this week.... not over excited about GRAW2 cos the first one bored the shit out of me...

I think it might take longer than a week to get fixed tho?...
One of my friends on live whos had his console replaced about 6 times said soon as they get the console they send a new one, he said he usually gets his back within about 5/6 days of it going...so i got my fingers crossed;) I've been without any games for minus fight night for about 2 months now, so an extra week wont hurt.

[UKJAY]

fingers crossed then... did they charge?

[_Chris_]

fingers crossed then... did they charge?
Nope, i think cause i only had the 360 that was registered since November so as far as they knew my warrenty was still all good;) so they didnt say a word:*)

Feel free to start one on an IRC server of your choice ;). The IRC channel we use for the crew is always nice and cosy, I could see a regular one working out too. You could do it on irc.tweakers.net, that's where the whole crew resides anyway.

Took me months to do that.
Is Crackdown any good?? I don't have it...

[Fanappy]

its average and the main story its incredibly short which is only good if u want to do the multiplayer achievments, its a game u play for a while get bored of quite quick but go back too, ie killing lots of people or searching for orbs... incidently one of its best features is it auto saves when u find an orb in games like the Godfather or GTA finding film roles or packets and not saving the game ugh so irritating

[UKJAY]

I wish Dead Rising had better save features...restarting all over again a few times did my nut right in...I hope they do release that rumoured Co-op download

[Fanappy]

i hate its save feature its so crap thats it's biggest flaw also the start up menu isn't all that clear i deleted my original save file by accident had to start over although Frank had all his skill which wasn't too bad also weapon aiming is a bit weird because it uses right trigger and every other game uses left trigger so i would frequently take a photo instead of shooting my uzi or w/e so i hope they sort that in DR2.... rant over

[_Chris_]

Is Crackdown any good?? I don't have it...
I think its REALLY fun... When my 360 comes back its Crackdown and gears im going to be filling the whole in my life there has been since my 360 died. Get Crackdown, playing the demo isnt really good enough, Get it, if you dont like it after a few days, take it back or something, you'll at least get to play the Halo BETA.. If that even botheres you, im not too fussed about it.

[Curry]

Not a lot of people will forget my infamous Viva Pinata comment which upset a lot of people on the FP and again, I was told I was abused, shagged by my father and uncle, have no life, ....Yeah but dude... you were insulting sweet little pinatas... what the fuck did you expect would happen :(

[mass9]

Yeah but dude... you were insulting sweet little pinatas... what the fuck did you expect would happen :(

Insulting Pinatas = BAD!!!!})
Smashing them open and eating their brains = GOOD!!! \o/


What a strange world we live in.

[max2663]

[UKJAY]

Yeah but dude... you were insulting sweet little pinatas... what the fuck did you expect would happen :(

Yeah...Im not even going there with the pinatas again....:X you'll get me started...

[max2663]

i love the game (although it drives even more crazy than jays avatar hehe)

it is for kids no wonder you may not particularry like it.

[nofear360]

I don't think a normal kid could get to experience even a half of what the game has to offer.

[max2663]

you may have a point there \o/

hey sooooo.... theres this new thing on the streets called IRC.... its really cool for random talking shit like this.... too bad we dont have one just for xboxic and this specific kind of shit... OH WAIT >.<

So we finally have our own public chat room. The room is #icgamers on irc.tweakers.net (link (irc://irc.tweakers.net/icgamers)). The easiest way to access it is via mIRC (http://mirc.com/get.html) or you can use Tweakers.net's webapplet (http://irc.tweakers.net/icgamers). The latter doesn't require any sort of installation but doesn't have as much features as mIRC does.

Here's a quick rundown of the steps involved with setting up mIRC and then joining the channel:


Download (here (http://mirc.com/get.html)) and install mIRC, all pretty self explanatory
When you first boot up mIRC you'll be presented with the options screen:

http://files.xboxic.com/crew/nino/mircoptions.jpg


Fill in the necessary info and click OK.
In the input box type /server irc.tweakers.net and hit enter

http://files.xboxic.com/crew/nino/mircconnect.jpg


When mIRC's done connecting (shouldn't take long) you type in /join #icgamers and hit enter again

http://files.xboxic.com/crew/nino/mircconnect2.jpg


All done, feel free to ask further questions on IRC or in this topic, happy chatting.



USE IT PEOPLE! it makes this kind of social dialog a lot easier and more fun because you don't have to wait 3 hours for someone to respond half the time.

Its working again. MS support said 3 rings is not a critical hardware failure. More than likely loose connections on my Wireless adapter or Power Supply or VGA cable or HDD. I was advised to take all the stuff of my 360, wipe the connections with clean dry cloth and plug in again...and its WORKING !!! YAY

\o/\o/\o/\o/

til next time....

[Chris]

til next time....

Just don't ever turn it off, ever again....ever.

[UKJAY]

Just don't ever turn it off, ever again....ever.

It happened after I downloaded Crazy Mini Golf or whatever it's called...lol, couldn't care less how good that is now....im deleting it

[Nino]

Haha fuck, this is like watching a suspense thriller, all the build up only to finally discover that the 360 wasn't fucked in the end.

[max2663]

[UKJAY]

Do the thing in the video i sent you! or try what you told me to do with a shop ;)

[UKJAY]

Do the thing in the video i sent you! or try what you told me to do with a shop ;)

The shop things a no goer for me..I have a 2005 model - anyone who has a quick look at the box will see 2005.

I gave it a good towelling and seems to be ok-ish

If it breaks again, I'll get it fixed for £50 and sell the thing on ebay with the HDD, Wifi Adapter, Wireless Pads, Wired Pads, 2 Mem Cards, 10 of my games that I don't bother with much and the HD VGA Cable, Plug n Charge Kit.

I'll see what I get for it and then I'll wait for an Elite

[max2663]

muwuhaha

ps you will need councelling over this

[SneakySnake]

can i have your hdd and wifi adapter.....plzzzzz? rawr! im broke'd!

but um... i thought you got a whole new warranty when you got a replacement. im pretty sure thats what my friend said. they renew your warranty and it lasts for a year now. MS has changed their warranty policy a couple times in the last few months, as well as their return policy, and if i remember it was in a friendly way, so you might want to check on those - you could be in luck! but still give me your hdd and wifi adapter! i couldve used the VGA adapter awhile back but i got my own. also, why do you need two mem cards? ill probably be looking at some rechargeable options soon, as im running near the last of my mega battery pack, and im tired of buying one every couple months (plus its not very environmentally friendly... :( )

[TRIGGER M4N]

Your pathetic attempts at becoming Elite are futile. In all seriousness, please don't spam crap in order to become 'Elite.'

[max2663]

nah i'll just stick to my usual blue collared crap

[Curry]

Your pathetic attempts at becoming Elite are futile. In all seriousness, please don't spam crap in order to become 'Elite.'
If I catch people spamming crap to raise rank I'll gladly set their forum title to a "custom set by admin" one they won't like.

[TRIGGER M4N]

Excellent.

[max2663]

which is why curry is BOFH.

[nofear360]

Only 35 posts left to become Hardcore :).

Please note that I have no intentions to spam. Thank you.

Today just seemed to sneak up on me.
Luckily, I am still well equiped to deal with it.....8)
I wonder if I can fuck off early today (from work, not just in general.....)? hmmmm...........?

[_Chris_]

Been stoned all day...but thats nothing unusual for me... I seem to be sobering up now though, bong time:)

[UKJAY]

Been stoned all day...but thats nothing unusual for me... I seem to be sobering up now though, bong time:)

Why do you get stoned?

[_Chris_]

I enjoy the feeling, and im quite a strange person, i talk a lot of shit sometimes, it calms me down, stops me thinking weird things too, well, as often. and i dont mong out and shit like other people, i can still do things fine, most of the time i can hide even lookin stoned...i smoke far too much.., though im trying to cut down:*)

[UKJAY]

.

[mass9]

Why do you get stoned?

'Cause I does what I likes and I likes what I does.:P

In all honesty, there is no one specific reason. I smoke because I enjoy it. Theres really nothing more to it than that. Its about 10 years (shit, I'm getting old.....:-( ) that I'm smoking now and in all honesty, I don't see it stopping any time soon.

I used to smoke butts (cigarettes), but I gave that up three years ago (after a 9 year career as a smoker). It seems that my marijuana use has gone up after then. Maybe I smoke weed as a substitute for cigs?

Very few things go as nice with a glass of red wine like a little doobie, ya know?

Also, I should note that I don't always smoke to "get stoned". In fact, very rarely is my goal to get stoned. Typically, I just want to enjoy the flavour and smoke a good smoke. Only when its more than myself and my girlfriend do the joints get large enough to do some serious damage.

[Cage]

Very few things go as nice with a glass of red wine like a little doobie, ya know?
Don't try red wine with a Dutch 'doobie'.. It makes you throw up beyond belief :r Guess our weed here is much stronger then in Canada.. :7

[mass9]

Don't try red wine with a Dutch 'doobie'.. It makes you throw up beyond belief :r Guess our weed here is much stronger then in Canada.. :7

All in moderation.
And I wouldn't say that its much stronger on your side of the ocean. Cannabis Cup winners are (generally) from either your country or mine. Its pretty quality stuff over here. Now that its summer, we can expect to see more outdoor (typically less potent) versus indoor, so for the next few months you'll be correct.

Once its winter and all the indoor stuff gets dried, well, thats the really good stuff.

ASIDE: Its estimated that in a 'normal' and 'average' GTA (greater Toronto area, about 4.5 million people) suburb there are approx. 4 grow houses out of every 100 residences. There was one busted near my place last summer. If I only knew what was in that house.........

[TwoXist]

420 is lame...

[UKJAY]

.

[Chris]

I've never judged or looked my nose down on anyone for doing stuff they want to do so long as nobody tried pushing it on me. People have their reasons I guess.

Do you smoke cigarettes?

[trj156]

i just dislike smoking in general, any kind of cigarettes or weed or whatever. i dont really mind if someone does, but i cant say i dont think less of a person when i find out they smoke. i just don't know any successful pot smokers i guess.
