"NateDobs New Recruit 6 Posts user info edit post Hey guys... I've tried searching online and can't find anything... I tried connecting to Xbox Live/Marketplace for the first time yesterday from my dorm connection in Bragaw. It's picking up the connection but it stops saying "MTU Failed." What can I do to fix this?? Any help would be appreciated... 2/28/2007 2:26:57 PM kable333 All American 4628 Posts user info edit post ^Did you register your system through Resnet?

yeah i'd imagine that would be the problem...they should just be able to open their networking software, see your 360, and grant it internet access

all we had in the dorms was a PlayStation but based on my home network configuration I'd imagine that would be the thing

Here are some Blitz: The League pictures for your pleasure since I am hooked on this game right now

^^ how hard it is to get ho jobs? do you need to csc degree? how 'varying' is your work schedule?

2/28/2007 7:00:00 PM

ho jobs?

I'm a tester. You don't need any degree for what I do. Hell, probably not even a highschool degree.

2/28/2007 7:27:21 PM

How well does it pay, hours, etc? More info!

2/28/2007 7:43:54 PM

not how 'well' does it pay, but how 'much' does it pay!

2/28/2007 7:47:56 PM

Oh hush :-p

2/28/2007 7:49:36 PM

methinks not very much, but you test games, what do you expect. im sure they dont have to look too hard to find some people.

2/28/2007 8:47:49 PM

man, when i did the activision gig, they took us to the testing room

i imagine its what a tww get together/the bottom of a slave ship looked like. Completely dark except for the tv/monitor glow, completely quiet except for the tapping of buttons/keyboards, it was kinda creepy. When we came down there it looked like we weren't welcome.

I think they were getting like 13/14 bucks an hour...I mean you could do worse

I don't think I can give that away, but I'll just say that the place I work for pays a little more than minimum wage.

That would be a correct description.

I really don't know how much I can give away without violating the NDA I was forced to sign. (I think it just relates to details about the games, but who knows).

Basically just imagine walking around a level at 0.0035 mph for 8 hours looking for errors.

Oh and occasionally you work tough hours during the "push".... a month ago I was working 7am to 6pm for 7 days a week for a few straight weeks.

i dont think those graphics look bad...but i also just googled some pictures so i dont know what platform...it looks nice on the 360

2/28/2007 11:49:38 PM

^based on those graphics I guessed that the game was Madden '02. I guess those are caps from a different system... Dreamcast?

^^^ this is why i laugh everytime i see those "get into game design/testing" commecials where guys sit around and play games. both design and testing are 100x less fun than they make it out to be unless you are really into coding or monotony.

3/1/2007 9:28:39 AM

So is the only way to fix the roster/finance glitch in MLB 2k7 to just edit the rosters yourself?

3/1/2007 12:34:42 PM

I guess wait until they update the rosters near Opening Day. It's kind of pissing me off b/c I want the updated rosters (for one b/c they added Fernando Martinez in AA to the Mets and two there have been a TON of moves since 1/1) for my franchise.

I got the game 2 days ago and love it but am not really going to waste time playing it until I can start a franchise.. I'm picky..

even if you edit it yourself, it screws up franchise. the only way to do it is to start franchise with the default rosters and edit them there.

3/1/2007 4:05:14 PM

^^ i do the same shit

get the rosters off operationsports.com

a guy took the time to change all the salaries/trades


is jd drew rated 100 on 360? in the reviews of the current gen they say theres like 65 players rated 100, and a few a 99

Alien Hominid got an 8.5 on IGN. I'm probably going to get it since I have 1200 points left. It costs 800 BTW.

3/2/2007 11:52:30 AM

i downloaded the free version last night and died constantly

worms is coming out on wednesday on xbl arcade...yesssssssss

3/2/2007 5:18:53 PM

I can officially say that after playing the first 3 stages of bullet witch that ign is full of shit and i will never read another review from their website; i can't believe they gave this game a 4/10 ... gamespot was about right, and i rate this game overall 6.5, mainly because it is short as hell and little incentive to play more of it, besides the dc coming to xboxlive that should be free. if it is not for free, that is bad. i don't see this game being a 50 dollar game with a 10 dollar expansion pack. maybe 40 bucks total and it would be worth a buy, probably. it is well worth a rental, and not bad at all. sure there are some repetitive elements, cheesiness, subpar graphics (not bad tho), and it is short, but it is an decent game, and worth 8.50 from block buster - btw they have two copies of it, and i have one of them

3/4/2007 4:59:25 PM

to be fair, i've played plenty of games that seemed fine for the first few lvls and then got too repetitive to enjoy.

3/4/2007 5:04:07 PM

trust me on this, ign is full of shit. gamespot is about right. it is worth a rental. and it is not that damn repetitive.

nah, the little girl moving, its realistically creepy like its some interlaced fmv (ie kids at the beginning of the halo3 trailer)

3/4/2007 10:11:38 PM

oh, yeah that did look almost cut scene...but it sure didn't look like there was ever a break

btw, how much longer till these start getting modded like the old xbox? I used to love all the extra stuff my roommates had on their xboxes

3/4/2007 11:23:02 PM

is it just me or is anyone else excited about Virtua Tennis 3? It's coming out on Mar 20th

3/5/2007 8:20:55 AM

I love some Virtua Tennis. I'll probably hold off though for the third installment. I got to get used to playing NBA 2K7 on the 360 because I've had been playing it on the PS2.

I'm definitely getting TMNT, but SOTN I might not get because I have it for the PS1.

Alien Hominid is bad ass by the way.

3/5/2007 8:47:35 AM

I'm going to preorder Virtua Tennis 3...


It's the first 1080p game!!!!!

3/5/2007 10:01:30 AM

^^^ word, i just rented it for ps1 and never got to finish it, so that should be a joy.

^ yeah, both of 'em support 1080p. Will there be any difference playing a 1080p on a 1080i TV?

3/5/2007 11:31:53 AM

i know nba street runs at 30 fps in 1080 mode vs 60 frames on 720

3/5/2007 11:39:47 AM

Tony Hawk Project 8 is pretty cool...basically all the same controls as the first Tony Hawk game on 360...kinda fun...graphics are updated

3/5/2007 12:52:29 PM

Who on here is Aquatic? i forgot who this person I played from here one time is.
