[Johnny5]

Damn! Thats crazy. 1, 000, 000 accounts now banned. I guess when your account is banned you just get a new gamer-card. That's insane.

Left 4 Dead 2 Uncut
Best game of the year!
More infected bitenails, more weapons, melee weapons, a friggin carnival level! and much more.
The original doesnt hold a candle to this one.
9.5/10

Watch out...the witches walk around in this one. Theres an area where we came across 10

 

[dilatedmuscle]

i felt like the first L4D was broken... the second is way more polished and refined. The differences between the two are subtle but they do make a difference

Jurassic: The Hunted looks pretty awesome!
(really big pics)

I accidentally bought an Indie game today. It's called the Impossible Game or something. You play as an orange block and you must jump over obstacles while the screen keeps moving forward. It's a good time killer! At least it was only 80 points. But man, there are some pretty shitty Indie games out there...

 

[dilatedmuscle]

Damn that sux, i never buy XBLA games but i should. I really want Shadow Compldex, i loved the demo, it was just like metroid but with sweet melee moves and physics. I also want Braid, especially because the main characters name is the same as our beloved MM member, Tim

 

[Johnny5]

Yes they do look a like as well, too.

Braid I was actually really surprised by! It's so unique, and very challenging. I loved it! I got all the puzzle pieces in the demo, some are a little tricky to get... Did you get them all too? I'd buy it, but right now I'm having way too much fun with Brothers in Arms!

 

[dilatedmuscle]

i didnt know there was a demo for it lol... i will download it soon... I just found out that last.fm has been available since last month lol i been waiting for it

 

[dilatedmuscle]

Downloaded the demo... It was fun, i used a online walkthrough though hahaha, i wouldnt have figured out half the shit on it.

I just found out you can have your Zune Pass on xbl and Facebook, Twitter, Last.fm.... Netflix blows, most of the movies they got on XBL are shit and low budget straight to DVD stuff.

 

[Johnny5]

I'm pretty sure if you spent some more time you would've got a lot of the puzzles! Some of them I just tried and I couldn't even believe it! So fucking clever. I don't know what a Zune Pass is though, I did download the Facebook application though, and I can honestly say, it sucks. If you want to go on Facebook, use the PC.

And I'm too scared to rent movies 'cause my Xbox 360 might RROD! LOL! This guy I know went through eight Xbox 360's. When they RROD he brings in back to the store for a full refund, and buys another one. ROFL! XD He's got an Elite now and it's been a few years it's working fine!

 

[dilatedmuscle]

Holy shit. thats a lot of red rings hahahah

I havent tried facebook on the 360. I dont need to since i have my lap top nearby anyways lol

Just started playing some Ghostbusters. It's a pretty good game actually, but I think I was expecting a bit more. There's a few things that frustrate me. I don't care about graphics, but I do care about the framerate. The game doesn't run so smoothly as, lets say, Halo 3 or Brothers in Arms, or Call of Duty. Which I don't understand because it doesn't look as good as any of them. But that being said, the attention to detail is very high, and the environments are very life like! Lots of things to destroy. By the time you've caught a ghost, an entire room will be blown apart! This game's very chaotic. The voice acting's good, but nobody puts any enthusiasm it seems. And the multiplayer... Kicks ass! I was playing yesterday night for almost three hours straight with two other guys and it was so much fun. We had to work as a team to capture ghosts, and we were shouting and laughing the whole time! DON'T CROSS THE STREAMS!!!
