Just bought my 360 today

[mista_mo]

using the free 30 day gold one that came with it, going to get it after that 30 days is up etc. so yesterday.

huh, thats wierd. so you have played some games on it and gone online after saving some stuff right?, if so it should have done so by now.

Shenmue 2 (while being a fantastic game) didn't work out well with the backward compatability thing on the 360. You can't take photos, the colour filter doesn't work, the music disappears (especially in the Golden Quarter), text disappears, voices disappear, even Ryo's head randomly disappears! I'd rather play that bitch on the original Xbox or the Dreamcast.

[Danny]

damn straight. 'castin' like a mother****er!

Xbox Live has been messed up for the past day or so, its only been working sporadically for me. Its probably the reason why your gamercard isn't showing up. I'm always up for Halo 3, send me a friend invite and we'll play. Bungie released new maps, 3 of em for $10. Its worth it, Rat's Nest and Standoff are fantastic, and Foundry is like a canvas for the Forge feature.

[Danny]

oh yeah, mo's in canada, and theyve lost live for some reason, sucks to be you man theres nothing you can do to fix it on your end.

[mista_mo]

yea, gimmie an invite and i'll be rdy to get my ass handed to me on halo 3 (gonna pick up call of duty 4 soon, played it today and it is AMAZING). i was on live earlier for about two games, but it was sporadic after that. my new fav. mode is territories lol. oh, and someone named zombieandy added me, i think it's andy but not sure.

[Danny]

aye thats him.

I just got my 12 month update, who wants it? Huh, motherf**ker! (Dazed & Confused impression) LOL, I'm 'normal level' at Halo 3 but if anyone wants it on Stranglehold, let's go you bitch assed turds!!!

[mista_mo]

the hell is stranglehold? oh, and bioshock is everything everyone said it was and more. I must've spent 3 hours just looking around at every little extra area in the game.

[Danny]

uh-huh, i finished my brothers 4 times and im gonna buy my own copy this weekend, it was so deserving of the game of the year title.

[capncnut]

the hell is stranglehold? Stranglehold is the game sequel to John Woo's 'Hard Boiled' with Chow Yun Fat. Give it a blast, brother. The game kicks ass!

[Danny]

shame they lost the origional title of max payne 3 though

[mista_mo]

just bought call of duty 4, bootin it up right now next week i shall get the orange box

Keep an ear out for the bits of "Aliens" referencing dialogue in the ship mission. "I like to keep this handy for close encounters" as the chap gets his shotgun out, or when Captain Price says "move is soldier, we are leaving" ... I think there are other bits of dialogue referencing other films, or even "Aliens", but can't remember them right now. Man alive, my first play through was in 48 hours but it was a great 48 hours. Makes you wish you could selectively delete memories so you could play it through again and have the same "wow" factor again...but even on second and third play throughs it's still great.
