Not that anyone cares but me, but I made it to #24 on Pac-Man:CE leaderboard.

Only 23 more spots to go.

Could be easily be faked but this Boom Boom Rocket video is quite impressive:

He does better on difficult blindfolded than I do on easy with my eyes open.

The achievement list for Halo 3 is out and overall I would have to say just OK. They are very much geared toward the single player experience. I have a strong feeling that we will see for sure an expansion of some sort around the holiday season to extend the score to 1250 and the new 250 points to be all online for sure.

Good. The only way I enjoy multiplayer achievements is if they are non-ranked so I can still get them while playing with friends.

I do like the explanations:

Campaign Complete: Heroic (125 points)
Finish the Campaign on Heroic (unlocks achievement for Normal, if not earned).

Campaign Complete: Legendary (125 points)
Finish the Campaign on Legendary (unlocks achievements for Normal and Heroic, if not earned).

Anyone DL today's game? Some sort of a bug-themed strategy game I beleive. Personally not my thing, but was wordering if it was any fun.

I tried it out briefly this morning and enjoyed it. It's a pretty straightforward turn-based strategy game, but it controls well and the presentation is nice, especially for an XBLA game. I bought the full version and made it past the first two campaign missions.

I'm on the 10th or 11th campaign mission. I have really enjoyed the game and dig that you can create your own levels (and i think share them with friends). I have yet to play multiplayer but my Ninja Bumblebee unit has been tearing it up in single player.

That's very nice of you to have a unit in dedication to the developers.

Yeah, i died laughing when you hit a mission and they introduce a new unit to your army and it is this cool ninja bee. Armed with a small sword and shurikens no less!

i still have YET to find anyone during a match on LIVE


i've given up on that game for the 360

You would think they would offer some of this free after the shitstorm that game has caused about marketplace content.

They did give away the Heavenly Star skin for free for a limited time. I don't think the prices are that bad for some new skins.

I'll probably get the booster pack - but screw that 4 song pack.

ahhhh come on you will help to combat Global Warming.

Genki Rockets (aka that Heavenly Star girl) will be performing at Live Earth and Q will turn a portion of your DLC purchases into a charitable donation to combat global warming.

Question/Problem: I'm just finally playing through Oblivion (had it since November, never played the main storyline)...on the Dagon Shrine part, apparently there's a scratch on 1 certain spot that it locks the game up and says the disc is unreadable. Tried it a few times, locks up the exact same spot each time. I've never had this problem with this game (and I've explored basically the entire "outside" world, and a lot of caves) or any other game.

Any advice? Are there any "tricks" to fix 1 tiny spot like that? I've had it since November, so obviously (I think?) returning it for a good copy is out the window. Boo. This is annoying.

Thanks for any tips.

Bah - I do that every day already.

Where in the quest is it freezing?

It was always as soon as I walked into the room where the ceremony thing was going on...I ended up using the old toothpaste trick and it felt like it was going to lock up again, but fought it's way through. Must've been something with the on-screen dialog trying to load, I probably tried it 10x before trying the toothpaste.

In case anyone really cares, Austin Powers (the first one) is up for free download on the Marketplace, courtesy of BurgerCon. Unfortunately, it's only available at 480p or I'd give it a try.

anyone else having their system lock up during multiplayer online games of Band of Bugs? I've tried three times so far, and after a few minutes of play it just freezes and I have to turn the system off.

No, but i also have yet to find a game of BoBugs online to actually join.

For those that care and don't know.

We have lost Josh H.
