Thanks dude...By the way, I see you've played N7...how do you like it? I've heard some good things about it, but I'm usually not much of an arcade type player...

Man, you post back fast. I didn't even read your second post before i wrote my last one, lol...anyways, i caught myself, sorry about that, i was thinking of N+. I'm at work, and I've been pretty preoccupied all day, so posting back takes me a while sometimes.

Could be worse. You could have lots of time to post and think, like me.

It's bad for you.

Yeah, TFU was night before last midnight launch. I had to sit on it all Sunday waiting for the street date. Stupid Live bans for breaking street date!

Civ Rev is a lot of fun. I have no idea how it compares to the classics (Civ2/Civ3), but I picked up Civ4 and gave it a try and it's very similar to Civ Rev.

I'm looking forward to getting in some time on TFU tonight. I spent a bunch of time on other stuff last night and then a song or two in RB2 got me into the wee hours of the morning. I played the intro and first chapter (VADER!) but then had to knock off as it was almost 0500.

Tonight is TFU early, though. It's too fun to not play. Glad I finished Mercs2 in time.

Ya, I've been behind on the new games lately, I haven't picked up Mercs 2 yet either. I just don't have as much time this year as I've had in the past. Work, school, and the girlfriend take up 96% of my time. I have Gamefly though, so I might pick up some rents ta catch up on the times a little.

I just watched a Sandbox Stunts video for Mercs 2 on Kotaku.com and it looked like a lot of fun to try some of them...I'm kinda anxious to play it.

So I had a weird problem. I was playing Lego Indiana Jones monday night. I have two controllers, one was charging via the nifty play-n-charge cable and I was playing with the other one. Well the one I was playing with ran out of juice, so I switched to the one that was charging and just left the dead one to die. Well apparently the xbox didn't like that because I got a message saying that since it lost the controller, no more games could be saved. I then switched the charger to charge the dead one and so ignored the message assuming that said action would resolve it. Well after playing for 4 more hours I went to bed. I go to play it last night, and lo-and-behold, those 4 hours of playing were for not. It indeed didn't save so I had to do it all over last night. Quite annoying.

Is that normal?

Not that I know of. I hadn't actively used that controller in the gaming session, but since it was plugged in, it was detected as controller 1, I believe.

In terms of profiles I only have my own, and then the one that my old roommate used, and that one's only there because I have looked on how to delete it.

Well then you might have accidentally signed out. That's the only thing I can think of.

It's all good. I just have to finish the last 15% tonight since the rental is due tomorrow at noon.

Hey is InkedSphyx around? I tried to chat with him this weekend, but no go. I saw he was playing Rock Band 2 and thought I could jump in... I fail at this whole XBOX Live thing. :(

So what's the protocol? Do I Invite To Chat, or do I Invite to Game? I think I sent him a couple chat invitations, but I didn't want to push my luck. He was right in the middle of Don't Fear The Reaper, it seemed kind of rude to pester him...

Well if he's playing and is not "joinable" then he would have to invite you. You cannot invite yourself. :) And if you invite him to chat, then that's a chat invite, not a game invite. ;)

Ah. But does he get a message in the middle of a song saying "Hey, this crazy person you've never heard of just sent you an invitation?" And what's the over/under on sending a 2nd request?

Indeed. Now if they'll ever get a Hulu plug-in working, IPTV'll be here sooner than you think. I can't wait for it!

I've gotten pings and stuff while in RB2. While it's mildly distracting, it's not like you're in the room going "Can I join? Can I? Can I?". I'd send a regular old text message saying 'WTF I R GAME' and wait. If they're interested, they'll likely pull up the mini-dashboard and invite you, once the current song is over.

Also, PLEASE WAIT! I hate it when someone texts me or invites to something and then drops offline 20-30 seconds later.

LET ME FINISH THE SONG, DAMMIT!

Expect to see me online a lot starting tonight. Thanks to Street Fighter IV and my FightStick, my 360 will be getting some much needed attention after sitting in the entertainment center for several months after breaking in my PS3.

Just got me a used Xbox 360 at a good price (as long as it lasts, lol).

My tag is: commandoveride (similar to my PS3 ID, but just 1 "r").

So far, I've picked up Halo 3, Fable 2, and Mass Effect. I'm mostly a PS3 gamer, but I wanted a 360 for some of those 360 only titles. I'm open to suggestions as well... I'm trying to decide which NBA game to buy.

Xbox Live is all about finding a group of good people to play with. The games I play (Halo 3, R6V2, GRAW 2, and other) I have groups that I play with, so I avoid all the kiddies and their foul mouths, the cheaters, the whiners, ect ect . . .

If someone comes in and causes a problem, they get the boot, plain and simple.

I bought it for the PS3 since I have several PS3-only friends that play it. If you haven't bought it yet and don't get a lot of replies in this thread, then maybe you should consider getting the PS3 version. That way you'll have at least one person (me) to play with. Regardless of which version you get, it's $15 well spent as it's just good plain fun. Also, you can use the BF1943 weapons in Bad Company 2 when it comes out later this year.

Hey folks!

I changed my gamertag from "Deverina" to "Carnivariant". If you get an invite from such a weirdo, you'll know who it's from. :)
