Uh-oh. This can only lead to bad, bad things. :shudders:

I feel like such an outsider. I see guys online, but most are playing COD2.

I had that game, but sold it way earlier this year.

I got my Xbox Vision/Live package from Amazon today.

So did I. Unfortunately the mailman didn't bag it and we had a torrential downpour. Unlucky me the camera isn't in any kind of shrink wrap either.

I had no plans of keeping it, I just wanted the live card and points and was going to dump the rest on ebay. Now I have a soggy box and who knows if the camera has been damaged.

I'm debating whether or not to open it. What can the post office do if I take it in and show them? It's their fault, not Amazon's.

I knowthe feeling, I got rid of my copy about a month ago, and right now GRAW is the only Live game I have.

If you say the package was damaged in shipping, Amazon will replace it free of charge. It may not be their fault, but they'll take responsibility.

Karma?

Now he is going to have to add it to his list and somehow figure out how to make it up to the USPS.


Well that or pick up a chameleon.

Meh. I had some friends over last night and we couldn't resist opening it. I'll probably keep it since it was essentially free anyway.

Sucks you can only save 1 personal picture. Terrible. We kept wanting to take shots of all kinds of random goofy stuff I can swap out from time to time, but no, you only get one.

So any word on Totemball next week? Any Arcade title at all slated for next week?

I rented, "The World Poker Tour," last night. I played it for about an hour and was bored out of my mind. I love playing poker, but for some reason, I can't get into online or video game poker. This game's stale presentation, terrible controls, and annoying interface really makes it something that everyone should avoid. Plus, it freezes a lot when you try to load a ranked online game. Avoid it like the plague.

I picked up, "Cabela's Alaskan Adventure," but I've yet to play it.

The F.E.A.R demo is now available: 542.76 megs.

I'll be downloading that for sure.

After seeing the new Team Fortress 2 trailer i'm even more excited than before for the game. It is my #1 want right now. I just wish the trailer had shown the medic in action though.

That game is on my want list as well. Looks like a fun game. TF2 should be a nice game to play while waiting for Halo 3.

New RPG announced from Tri-Ace - makers of Star Ocean and Valkyrie Profile!

This is an epic RPG created by tri-Ace, developer of the big hit series Star Ocean and Valkyrie Profile, and Microsoft Game Studios. Over 10 years of ideas from Yoshiharu Gotanda, the producer of Infinite Undiscovery and president of tri-Ace, will become a reality on Xbox 360.

Various situations unfold in a world that changes in real time, with players’ choices leading to “unknown discoveries.” The advanced technology of tri-Ace combined with the next generation power of Xbox 360 offers an ultimate fantasy world overflowing with realism, allowing players to experience true role playing within a grand story.

More news on RPGs.

"Microsoft today announced the availability of new HD trailers for the highly anticipated upcoming Xbox 360 games, “Blue Dragon” and “Lost Odyssey” on Xbox Live Marketplace this Wednesday, Sept. 27."

Wow. that RPG from tri-ace sounds very interesting.

And for a Blue Dragon trailer.

I'll second the drooling. I could definately get behind more RPG goodness.

I'm not into turn based RPG's. I tolerated Knights of the Old Republic and Baulders Gate on the PC. Since those styles are more like action based RPG. My real love would be for a Diablo III, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance III, or Oblivion V (multiplayer of course) on the 360.

Figured I would make myself up a new gamerpic using the camera. Designed it in photoshop and printed it out. Took a snapshot with the camera. PITA. Anyone else come up with anything cool? I actually made a dozen different ones I can swap out(including apple's logo and the Wii logo). Another, PITA since you can only save 1 photo at a time.

So here is the one all my buddies see(sans my gamertag of course):


It would be so cool if they would just let you do your own pics in general and throw it on the hard drive. The asshats are out there, but they would be few and far between, IMO. The amount of people that would take the time to create one would still be far fewer than those buying from the marketplace.

I took a close up of a beer bottle. Mine looks pretty much like this one.

I spent a couple of minutes playing the FEAR demo last night. I've never played it before, but it definitely seems interesting. I found not having much of a scope and not having enemies highlighted in red different though. Is this what the whole game is like?

My experience with FEAR was the free multiplayer demo on the PC. My computer sucks so I didn't play it very long. It seemed to be pretty cool though. I will get the xbox demo this week some time.

I don't know of any shooters (besides GRAW) that highlights the enemies in red.
