"i once avoided getting an xbox 360 because i thought the controller was going to be like the one for the first xbox, which was the size of a small nation but i knew someone that got one and saw that they made them smaller and the 360 controller is about as ergonomically perfect as you can get"

I was the same way. I did not like the original Xbox at all because of the controllers, but the 360 controller is pretty much perfection.

fyi, they released the 360-sized controllers for the XBOX a couple years after the XBOX came out because people thought the originals were too big, and iirc they included them with XBOX consoles the last few years before the 360 dropped

I see hey now has left me no choice but to prestige again

1/20/2011 5:26:45 PM

i had the small controllers with my xbox, they were called the japan version when I bought them in 2002.

1/20/2011 5:27:40 PM

i thought about prestiging again today

for a second

BRING IT, BITCH

1/20/2011 6:18:36 PM

i think i'll be at 7 in the next 5 days

1/20/2011 6:58:36 PM

Regarding the X11s, they don't hold up very well when you throw them across the fucking room in a lag-inspired rage fit.

i don't understand the headphone thing, i don't even want an earpiece mic. i use the tv speakers and the ps eye as a mic and have no problem telling where sounds are coming from.

1/20/2011 8:21:32 PM

I wonder if the PS Eye mic is annoying for other players as the Kinect mic

1/20/2011 8:26:37 PM

Ordered a 3d tv... anyone see how this is in 3d yet? I think it's an option in the setup

1/20/2011 9:15:10 PM

I haven't played it in 3d yet, but I was thinking of trying the campaign sooner or later

1/20/2011 10:02:52 PM

I've played MW2 in 3D on my desktop with red/blue glasses, it's a pretty cool effect but really not that great and any 2d objects on the screen will trip you out because you have to refocus to read them

The Nvidia drivers had a ton of features though, like changing depth from nearly flat to so much depth you couldn't focus properly

I think the coolest thing really was looking at your weapon, because it did project outward a lot farther, looked longer and was highly detailed.

if you ever got one you probably would.

how do you talk to people with headphones on though, wouldn't it make it too hard to hear?

Jesus fuck Christ, I needed some help tonight. Lost 14 straight rounds of ctf to a party of 6 dudes. They were good not great, but played well together. My team sucked balls and constantly backed out when losing. I thought I might get lucky and get dumped on their team eventually but no

1/21/2011 12:43:55 AM

If I'm not playing with a party, no way do I play against a full party.

1/21/2011 9:07:57 AM

I played my first "clan match" the other night. Some doucher noticed that me and two of my buddies all had [NCSU] as our clan tags. So my friend got a message challenging us to a match. Now normally I'd laugh at the kid, make fun of the whole concept, and ignore the message. But we'd all had a few beers and figured why the hell not. So we did a 3v3 private TDM match on Nuketown. They sucked big time. Why would you go around talking shit and challenging people to clan matches if you're garbage?

1/21/2011 9:33:58 AM

Are the x11 worth it?? i dont feel like scanning the thread for opinions. 49.99 at Best Buy

1/21/2011 10:30:36 AM

They're ok, but you need to be careful of the cord length with whatever set-up you have. I spent the extra 30 or so bucks on wireless and am glad I did.

1/21/2011 10:55:44 AM

What is the length on the cord

1/21/2011 10:57:40 AM

I got the wired bc my tv setup is close enough to the couch for the cord to reach.

I would hate having to recharge or change batteries (but would deal with it if the cord was not long enough)

1/21/2011 10:58:31 AM

I bought a little recharge port for AAAs...only takes 30 secs to change them out...I think the cord is between 6-8 feet.

1/21/2011 11:02:47 AM

Why is Nuketown so popular? That map is such a clusterfuck.

1/21/2011 11:18:59 AM

be nice if people could learn to STAY ON ONE FUCKIN SIDE OF THE MAP

1/21/2011 11:29:35 AM

i love it when the spawn points flip sides because you just walk into the backyard and get a bunch of kills

1/21/2011 11:35:13 AM

Cord is much longer than 8 feet...closer to twice that

1/21/2011 11:35:55 AM

Yeah the cord is well over 8ft. More like 10-15 IIRC

1/21/2011 11:42:23 AM

I just measured mine and it is 20 ft

1/21/2011 11:45:44 AM

I only measure mine when its really intense and throbbing

1/21/2011 11:48:08 AM

Anyone been keeping an eye on Homefront? comes out in march, looks like it could be fun...

1/21/2011 3:26:00 PM

^ the plot makes my head hurt

1/21/2011 3:43:52 PM

Meh, don't give a shit about the plot...still haven't played BO campaign and I never played MW2. Meant more in the multiplayer realm of things

1/21/2011 3:52:50 PM

^^you ever played a COD campaign? not exactly the most well thought out and cohesive storyline

1/21/2011 4:03:28 PM

Directed by Michael Bay.

On Crack.

Laced with arsenic.

1/21/2011 4:04:46 PM

^^ On every one of them since CoD4 I played a good portion while blackout drunk, so it's incohesive regardless.

^nice...and that 3rd kill was SICK

1/22/2011 3:03:43 AM

It wasn't really, though... he fell to his death LOL.

1/22/2011 10:21:50 AM

looks like you knife him in mid air haha

1/22/2011 12:48:24 PM

so i made a clip of my futility, but since it's longer than 30 seconds it won't let me upload it. is there another way to do that?

1/22/2011 2:26:55 PM

people on the same console can watch it in your fileshare if they know your gamertag

other than that you have to have some way to stream video from your tv/console to a computer

1/22/2011 2:39:09 PM

Only video I've made lately has been an 11-0 start. Not very exciting though and not as glorious my 16-0:

1/22/2011 2:46:22 PM

1/22/2011 10:28:28 PM

wtf

1/23/2011 2:34:45 PM

scroll that beautiful bean footage

Ernie did you play MW2? that was not an uncommon thing, assuming you are talking about the darkness guy's name

Fucking mod'ers pretty bad when you have to hack/cheat/mod to be good at a video game.
