yeah, but people who like sims just for sims are probably in the minority. i like realistic games if they also are enjoyable to play, but im not running out to buy ms flight simulator or anything (though at least flying is something most people dont do regularly).

Area-51 demo is awesome. I especially loved the very end with the bullet time. I thought it was going to be as shitty as the arcade game, guess not plus the destructible environment is cool too. Was hiding behind a colomn but was still getting hit then i noticed its cause the column was 2 inches wide after taking a few shots to it.

I'm finally getting the new spring update tonight, and I'm looking forward to it. I'm also getting Catan, Castlevania: SOTN, and probably Aegis Wing.

5/18/2007 12:09:46 PM

i've gotten most of the offline (single player) COD3 achievements...next stop: beat the campaign on veteran difficulty

i did get the "beat a mission without firing a single shot" achievement...pretty tricky

5/18/2007 12:11:02 PM

I got the "Moonshot" acheievement last night in MLB 2K7. Hit a 450+ homer with Wily Mo Pena.

5/18/2007 12:25:50 PM

hell yeah...ive played the team homerun derby with boston...willie mo is easier to hit with than hinske, varitek, etc

5/18/2007 12:37:10 PM

The GM mode is really fun on that game. I got my Red Sox one going right now. I'm like 9-2, but I'm also playing on pro right now. Maybe a move up to all-star may be in the works.

5/18/2007 2:24:41 PM

totally forgot i had Call of Duty 3....hardly ever played it. Been playing it lately and its actually pretty fun. Still way too much like CoD2. but they added a bit of graphic improvement.

Still, much rather be playing Brothers in Arms: Hells Highway or Call of Duty 4

5/18/2007 3:15:46 PM

^yeah i gamefly'd it and sat on it for like a month before i really started playing it...good stuff though

5/18/2007 3:17:10 PM

^Yo, I think you play almost every game or you're really good at everything because your gamerscore is unreal. Almost 32,000?

5/18/2007 3:55:03 PM

^^^ you have to be tlaking about the sp, the mp in cod3 is so much better its like it is two different games.

^ probably jsut plays a lot of games. also, you don't have to be 'good' to get a lot of achievements.

5/19/2007 9:44:49 AM

5/20/2007 2:33:12 PM

it turned out darker without to flash, i guess i can say colts blue, kinda the color of the trim on the mavs jersey no metro

and lol nah, i was packin shit up to move out and had shit strewn everywhere

plus recycling nut rags would be so unsanitary

5/20/2007 3:55:21 PM

should have made red and blue...for red vs blue and sell them as a halo collectors edition controller

5/20/2007 5:08:22 PM

i think you had a grand idea sir

5/20/2007 6:55:18 PM

hehe, i want a cut!

5/20/2007 7:37:33 PM

How is crackdown? I've played the demo a bunch and liked it. but i'm afraid if I buy the game it will get too repatative. How much fun is it after a while? I was thinking about trading in a few games for it.

5/21/2007 11:34:11 AM

I must say that I'm really liking the updates, and the games that I got over the weekend.

Catan, Castlevania: SOTN, and Aegis Wing are all really good games.

I'm loving the C&C3 demo. I can't stop playing it. When I get some extra $$$, it'll be in my collection. Mammoth tank FTW.

I like the new spring update. The fact that I don't have to pause the game to see what achievements I unlocked is a blessing. I also like the new marketplace blade. It makes it a lot easier to get content.

5/21/2007 11:39:48 AM

ah yes, C&C3 was the other game i was debating about. Demo is fun as hell.

5/21/2007 12:30:49 PM

how did you paint them and did you use any clear?

i'm pretty sure it will probably wear off onto your hands after prolonged use if its just rattle can paint that was used.

5/21/2007 1:38:43 PM

nah

i primed and sanded it down, and fixed the directional pad so it dosent hit the ridges, makes SF2 alot more responsive

used krylon fusion paint, bonds with the plastic, you can still see the very minor indentions where the text "select/start" show up

once you paint it and its bonding, you can take your fingernail and scape off plastic. once it's dried it liked you bought it that way

dosent rub, dosent stink, dosent stick

[Edited on May 21, 2007 at 2:45 PM. Reason : not gonna use cheap ass spray paint on a 50 dollar piece of equipment]

5/21/2007 2:44:35 PM

how do you mean you made SF2 more responsive? did you take apart the controller or something?

5/21/2007 4:24:50 PM

so, if I were to get one game, which would you recommend. C&C3 or Crackdown?

5/21/2007 9:53:06 PM

^^ yep

sanded down the circle around the dpad to give it all its range of motion

/nerd

5/21/2007 10:06:57 PM

Dammit, I keep getting a dirty disc error. What can i do to rectify this?

5/22/2007 1:04:11 PM

^with multiple games? might have to send it back to Micro$

5/22/2007 1:04:51 PM

I have two games, and it only does it to one of them, at a specific part during a mission.

I've cleaned the disc.

5/22/2007 1:08:01 PM

hmm....i'd try using one of those cd-cleaning discs with the brushes on the bottom to wipe the dust off the laser

i guess you dont happen to know if that same disc messes up at the same spot if played on another 360? just trying to narrow down the cause

5/22/2007 1:09:24 PM

Am I the only one on here with a dead 360, thanks to shitty manufacturing?

5/22/2007 1:23:38 PM

send it off to be repaired you dolt

[Edited on May 22, 2007 at 1:29 PM. Reason : .]

5/22/2007 1:28:52 PM

i'll get one of those cleaner things for the laser.

Thanks for the help so far Tree

5/22/2007 2:03:44 PM

no prob...i had to send mine back but it worked fine for a good ~15 months

5/22/2007 2:05:19 PM

finally got the 3 red lights

its outta warranty methinks

bout to try the ole walmart switcheroo

5/22/2007 4:20:46 PM

i got the red lights a couple weeks ago but its been fine since

except i got some fucked up pixelation on a couple call of duty 3 missions...then it carried over to mlb 2k7...but now everything is fine????

^walmart thing works fine...just say you got it for a present and already had one or something...and try to return it within a day or so of getting your 360 back so you dont have to waste time haggling over return periods

[Edited on May 22, 2007 at 4:34 PM. Reason : .]

5/22/2007 4:33:39 PM

whats the red light thing? I've seen the red lights on my xbox before but only once a while back. It over heated for good reason cause i left it on and paused for days.

5/22/2007 4:34:24 PM

^3 of the 4 controller indicator lights (i believe all except the lower right/controller 4) go red...for many the system never works again...for me i just powered off the bitch and turned it back on and it was pretty much straight

i think if you google "ring of doom" or "circle of doom" 360 or something you'll find out plenty about it

[Edited on May 22, 2007 at 4:37 PM. Reason : .]

5/22/2007 4:35:26 PM

^yeah happened to me once...but after turning it off and back on it worked fine. didn't think anything of it.

5/22/2007 4:36:35 PM

i thought something of it cause of what i've heard but just like you a reboot basically fixed it

(fingers crossed)

5/22/2007 4:38:07 PM

Haha, Bomberman is coming to XBLA.
