Just to let you guys know that there is double XP on Modern Warfare 2 for Labor Day in USA!

[SilentHunter]

Why is it when I get a brilliant match that I am doing well in gears 2 that my router decides to lose it connection to the internet.

[Yggdrasill]

Started playing the Witcher again. It's pretty good. The new one looks great but I doubt I'll be able to play it on my laptop.

[Yggdrasill]

Yes.

[Quadnike]

Have you played the co op?

[Yggdrasill]

Have you played the co op?

Yes

[Korgis]

double xp in code has got me to lvl 37 prestige 6.
i always keep saying i'll take a break from cod when i get to lvl 70 but i never do

[Quadnike]

Yes

What's it like?

[Yggdrasill]

What's it like?

It's alright. The normal levels are only 2 player. The boss fights are the only levels with 4 player and it makes them a lot easier especially the last boss.

Borderlands Future Title Update

An upcoming title update to Borderlands will finally bring in an often requested alterations to the games base code. The planned update will increase the games level cap and rebalance the game mechanics accordingly to incorporate the higher levels.

Speaking live at PAX and reported by Joystiq Randy Pitchford (Gearbox CEO) outlined it in black and white:

[There will be a] free update to Borderlands that will both rebalance the original game around the level cap and increase the level cap for everyone.

Pitchford then went on to detail that the level cap would be increased from the existing sixty one to sixty nine and that we could expect to receive the free title update around October 12th.

This pleases me greatly.

I knew if Gearbox were going to do another level cap I knew it would have been level 69.

Bought Lair of the shadow Broker. Now I just have to wait for it to download.

[dooley]

Got 1250/1250g in Oblivion last night Only the third retail game I've got the full score in

Quote dooley: Got 1250/1250g in Oblivion last night Only the third retail game I've got the full score in

Use any guides/etc to get it?

Want to play some annex later?

[SilentHunter]

I have 4 retails 1000 gamer score in (Though one was Terminator Salvation ) and 6 arcade. I'm glad I got all the achievements in 1 vs 100 before they got rid of it.

[Yggdrasill]

Lair of the shadow broker was pretty good.

[VampiricPadraig]

I seen on CVG that there isn't going to be any DLC for FFXIII.

Lazy Square...LAZY!

[crow-feet]

why would there be dlc for 13? why? when have they ever had dlc for a final fantasy that wasnt 11

[SilentHunter]

I couldn't care less if they did. It is the worst final Fantasy game in the number series that I have ever played. I didn't even bother finishing it.

[SilentHunter]

Just completed the Lair of the Shadow Broker and I loved every minute of it. A little short but still worth it.

Spoiler:

[dooley]

Use any guides/etc to get it?

No I didn't.To be honest though Oblivion is a pretty easy,if pretty time consuming,game to get the full gamerscore in.The 1000g in the main game is gotten by just completing the main story and by completing the 5 Guild questlines.The 250g in The Shivering Isles expansion is gotten by completing the main story quest

I have 4 retails 1000 gamer score in (Though one was Terminator Salvation ) and 6 arcade. I'm glad I got all the achievements in 1 vs 100 before they got rid of it.

3 retail (Oblivion,Assassin's Creed 2 and The Saboteur) and 3 arcade (Afterburner:Climax,The Maw and 1v100) for me.Wait is 1v100 an arcade game?Ah I'm gonna class it as one anyway

[Quadnike]

Seen two of my mates playing halo reach online and they havent been banned....yet

Yeah well i dont know about genuine copies because its bit too early a day or two before release date then yeah could be but i think there probably pirate ones.u

[warrior00]

Yea if their copys then their foolish cause if they got banned with genuine copys and had receipts they could fight the ban but with copys they have no chance.

I read some where about a perma ban which is mad as u can never go on xbox live again with that gamertag dont know how true that is but for modding console they will ban u and corrupt your console and gamertag.

I wouldnt mind the not be able to go onto live again as i would probably have another account and another xbox if i were to mod one but the corrupting xbox sounds bad

[warrior00]

Yea but when they ban the console u cannot earn any more gamerscore with it unless u buy a new console.

And also if u were to get a new gamercard u are back to the beginning with zero gamerscore which be pretty bad(well so i think)

[Quadnike]

Yeah i guess that would bother me too

[SilentHunter]

Also remember if you have points on your gamertag you lose them as well.

[SilentHunter]

Might pick up Dawn of War II for 1200 for GFWL as part of there Dotw.

Never mind. It 5.5gb.

EDIT: Being stupid. I was looking at the system requirements for of the hard drive space.

[Yggdrasill]

Kingdom hearts on the PSP is pretty good. The music is great

[crow-feet]

forgot how fun pc shooters can be.. except for aim-bots... who name themselves after my steam name i hope i dont get banned. got a few achievements in counter strike and didn't get bet around in day of defeat so happy days

[warrior00]

I played through Halo reach again today and thought i was playing on legendary turns out it was ordinary again i was wonderin why it was so easy.

I even set it to legendary i dont know what happened for it to change back.

[crow-feet]

Picked up the Street Fighter 4 Fightpad so my gaming in fight games will improve.

[TheLaw]

which one did you get paul?

For some reason all the moving sigs and avatars on this page is fucking with my browser

On another note I started playing Geometry wars 2 last night - It looks unbelievable at 1080p on a 50" plasma. Fuck the treaty cheev.

[SilentHunter]

Just this one but it much better then using the xbox controller.

[MrMarioMan]

I spent the vast majority of my time in GW2 trying to get the Treaty achievement. Think it took about 8 months of on and off playing to finally get it. The amount of times I got to 28/29 zones before dying is slightly disgusting.

[dooley]

Oh FFS Mass Effect keeps glitching on me .Gonna try uninstalling and then reinstalling it and hopefully that'll sort it out


Edit: Ok reinstalling it seems to have sorted the problem.Fingers crossed it doesn't start happening again

[SilentHunter]

What kind of glitch was it?

[Korgis]

got tomb raider underwolrd today gonna play in a few mins

[VampiricPadraig]

Why would anyone wanna pay 10 euro a month for final fantasy 14. Sorry Square but you have made 2010 a big fail for the company!

First - XIII
Second - No XIII DLC
Third - 10 euro a month for final fantasy 14

Hopefully 15 will be like 12
