Very nice XP for "Smart Folds".

Also, Texas Heat isn't about the chip counts, it's about the XP. Which of us got a Gold Medal? Yeah, that's right!
I played, the first couple rounds - but never saw reports from any of yous guys I ended the first game ranked like 2000, but won my table so I had the life preserver (which I ultimately did not need next round). Then on the triple diamond table, shit got out of hand with hot pots and I at one point had about 3.5million in my stack. Ended that time ranked #29.

Is there a list of XP gathering moves? I've seen the Witness to Fame one for 100xp, but no clue what that's for.

I haven't found a list yet, but looking at the official forum thread http://forums.xbox.com/36119889/ShowPost.aspx started by an X-level community member named Cookiecups that broke the news about a server-side fix for the rankings, they have a Twitter account at https://twitter.com/#!/playXBLA

I'll shoot them a message and see if they have or can make a list of all the XP events.

Thank you for the dedicated thread. That way we no longer have to make unnecessary posts in this thread about Full House Poker.

At least we don't have to worry about people not interested in #FullHousePoker because of bad press being aware as things get fixed.

I'm still going to talk about FHP only in here, but mainly because the Mods are too lazy to stop me.

Don't confuse too lazy with too busy.

If it gets fixed, "Texas Heat" may be just the game for people who miss 1v100...even if they don't like poker.

What other XBLA/XBLIG/GR games do you not care about so we can spin those off for Your Highnesses as well?

None of them have completely dominated the thread like this one, though. Is it really that big of a deal to have the dedicated thread?

I personal didn't like the Yaris game, so maybe that should get its own thread. Like we did for Full House Poker.

No, I'm just kidding. If anything maybe it should have gone in the "Primetime Games" thread I made for 1v100 back in the Aughts.

Yes! Finally I can fulfill one of my greatest wishes -- to get my avatar to break dance while dressed as a Wookie for under $4 total.


Any thoughts on 3D Ultra Minigolf Adventures 2? The demo for the first was so god-awful that I never even tried the demo for the second one, maybe I should. Did anyone pick up Faery yet? (miyu, I'm looking at you) I might get that one for my daughter, if it's enjoyable enough for her.

Hey, this is some sort of a record -- I only already own 3 of those 17 games on XBLA (though I do have Gyromancer and Defense Grid on Steam, Costume Quest on PSN and Unbound Legacy on the PSP -- at least all those were already purchased on discounts of 50% or more). Yay Frugality!!!
