Please help with Splosion Man!

I'm having trouble beating multiplayer level 3-17...any help?

I'm assuming you're having trouble with all the lasers at the end of the level? If so, you just have to memorize where they are and hope to 'splode in the right part. I still haven't gone back to get the cake on that level because it's such a bastard.

I know it probably has to do with royalties, but this achievement was begging for a Blazing Saddles reference Looking forward to trying this game out, hopefully will get it from Gamefly right away.

Actually, we're at the beginning! We start on different sides and have to splode up the shaft off the billboards. In the middle is a platform with spikes. We get to the "top" and can't figure out what to do!

Ok, thank you.

My TV only has a DVI input. I would like to do the same thing you did, but use the regular red/white RCA jacks for the audio instead of the optical using the composite only cable that came in the box. In the manual it specifically states "Don't connect both the component HD AV cable and the HDMI AV cable to the console at the same time." How long have you been using both cables and have you had any problems?

Anyone check out the "WET" Demo?

I thought is was good B-movie fun. It's like a cooler version of "Stranglehold" that doesn't take itself too seriously, and brings the over the top fun.

Which game is this?

I have a completely different opinion I thought it to be a poorly executed bad version of Stranglehold which I thought was underated.

It's a time traveling fps game:

I'm listening to the latest Major Nelson show and at 23:40 the XBL head of enforcement reads from The Book of Enforcement during his PAX panel. It's fucking hilarious.

Stepto is great I love when he is on the show.

Really? Chances are many will share your opinion too. Oh well, I liked the Demo.

Honestly I am not sure if I hate the game or not but I have the feeling right now that it's a game that I would be making fun of. But if it is better that demo is a bad example.

Is Live down for anyone else right now?

Over an hour later... no.

Weird. I was in Marvel: UA and it wouldn't let me sign in for a few hours. When I was done I went to test my connection and everything was good to go. I go to sign in from the dash and it worked fine. It was just in-game that I couldn't sign in. Very odd.

Did you decline a title update or anything? Another weird thing is that I don't see M:UA anywhere in you signature... Get on with Overlord already!

F'ing awesome!

I had both in mind. I figured I'd go the Super Hero route. Just something to tie me over last night and tonight before the Beatles. Something I can jump in and out of and not have to remember a whole helluva lot if it gets put back on the shelf for a while.

I did do a title update. It was even referenced when I saved saying that the saves will appear corrupt if I try and load them on a non-updated version of the game.

Darkest of Days looks pretty fun. Just watched this review:

Yeah, I thought the demo was pretty awful myself. I couldn't play it for more than a few minutes before I had to shut it off.

I am officially over microtransactions. I had bought my 13 year old a map pack on his gamertag so we could play against each other. This was months ago. Well my 5 year old got on his profile somehow and he bought 4 games and 2000 points using my card that was only used once on that profile. I even tried to remove the card from the profile on their website and it fails every time. They had to put a restriction on my 13 year olds account so he nor I can ever order anything on that profile without calling them and removing the restriction. The person at 800-4myxbox even told me once the card was used to purchase something it can't be removed without adding another one. WTF bullshit is that?

MS said they can't refund the money to my card but they gave me a reference number and in the notes for that one, they said they will not object when my bank contacts them since a 5 year old can't authorize a purchase. Of course at the bank one guy wouldn't file the claim because he said it might have been downloaded to the hard drive, his supervisor said he would do it, but he also said they have to start an ID theft investigation against my 5 year old son for using the card, then he hung up on me. The next person did it right away with no BS.

put a password on those gamer profiles
