Do we really need separate RR & Lips threads? MGC stats for the two games in question among the VGTalk gang:

1 user that has played Rock Revolution and 0 for Lips. I think we are all intelligent enough to follow a conversation in the general music thread.

All I'm saying is that people who aren't "VGTalk Regulars" and are interested in Lips are more likely to go into the thread on Lips (knowing it's about Lips) than the General Music Thread. It also means that if you don't want to read about Lips or Rock Revolution, then you don't have to check said thread. But if there are new posts in the "General Music" thread, then you have to check it because it might be about a music game you have interest in.

There's nothing wrong with having a lot of threads around for different games.

Here's a pretty cool, albeit useless, mod:

Congrats folks, I think this is the first time every member played on the same day. Not only that, but two days in a row. Pretty cool.

Three cheers for DVDTalk! 40 out of 40 members played some games and made everyone happy! Nice to know some people are thinking of the group! After yesterday, the total group score stands at 685,531 made possible by 97 achievements adding up to around 1,905 points. Recognize!

^ Sorry about that 1,912 number. Luxor 2 and its stupid achievement points... I'll be normalizing that soon :)

Decker 11-25-08 09:21 AM

I friggin hate non-five base Achievement scores. Got one for Super Puzzle Fighter (in the only play session I ever had with the game) and never got it fixed even again.

Michael Corvin 11-25-08 09:31 AM

:lol: Somehow I managed to have a multiple of 5 in Luxor 2. Cloning Clyde is another with crazy numbered achievements. That one's pretty easy to get all 200 though.

Shagrath 11-25-08 09:39 AM

My OCD doesn't go far enough to worry about non "5-based" gamerscore. It's just the higher, the better for me!

I was on a 2-month trial from my Xbox when I migrated the GT over to my 360. The remaining FREE time just converted to a Gold membership.

EDIT: I guess I can see your point now. Existing LIVE members who migrated didn't get a FREE month? That kinda stinks. Totally different from my situation. I hadn't maintained a continuous GT(had 2 or 3 month trials), friends list, etc until I got my 360 -- almost 2 years now.

My gamertag from the original xbox hasn't been active since NBA 2k7 first came out lol

On another note I bought the black and red wireless controllers that come with the plug and play charge kit. They arrived yesterday and the freaking red one doesn't work properly... Argh!! Microsoft CS doesn't seem very helpful so I'll probably just deal with buy.com's return process.

How do I join the DVDtalk group? I'll give you guys a little achievement boost :)

matome 11-25-08 10:08 AM

Jesus, it took me three years just to get 20000 points :eek:

Michael Corvin 11-25-08 10:09 AM

I'm right at 10k per year.

I think you just view the group and you should see an option to join.

Yeah, me too! I think I'm a fairly regular contributor 'round these parts to join the gang. Although I'm not huge on multiplayer games, I think being part of this clan might give me some motivation.

Looks like a glitch in the system. My 360 is still in Texas, so I definitely did not play either day.

That's only a good deal if it's actually available in your area. Most places don't have it in stock anymore as it was an old deal.

Fixed with 18 more points to restore order to my gamerscore.

pinata242 11-25-08 03:12 PM

Now we're talking! Major Nelson's periodic "What's New on XBLM" post now can have links directly to the marketplace so you can queue it up when you see the post at work or wherever: http://majornelson.com/archive/2008/...-purchase.aspx

It's like the future is now.

What difficulty are you playing on?

pinata242 11-25-08 03:30 PM

Easy. I just finished the 13th round and got the ach for perfect on all bonus rounds. I only have a few more levels to go to complete easy, which gives 15 points. I won't play after that.

Michael Corvin 11-25-08 03:37 PM

:lol: I felt the same way. I can play Zuma & Magnetica for hours on end and never get tired of them. There is just something about Luxor 2 that is just monotonous. I think I'm around level 11 on Normal but have no desire to play it anymore.

I think if you log in to xbox.com, it considers you logged in, so if you've been checking your repair status, you count as having played.
