P.S. Let me know if I got any of these wrong. I don't think caps matter (not sure) but I know spaces do.

Are we missing anybody?

EDIT:

[kid on an escalator]

Got a surprise call today from UPS telling me that they were 5 minutes away from my house and needed directions. So my 360 is on its way to MS and hopefully I will get another one soon. Things went way faster than I ever would have expected. Great support from MS.

That is good news....
Hopefully they will send your new one out as soon as they get the old one... We have missed you....

They got my 360 today and they have sent out another one to me. I guess I will have that one on Monday or Tuesday.

You have a list of like 12 people in this thread. Go Crazy! I dont add. I will never add. I have like 70 friends and I have never added a soul.

I'm going to first need to hear some stats like; age, sex, favorite movie, favorite game, favorite upcoming game and your social security number

ok maybe not the last one but forfuxxake man give us something to get interested in or something that will make us want to play with you.

For example: my lovely wife Athena also plays GOW with me (us) and we more often than not play while not wearing any pants

And just a friendly FYI - if you see Sushi in a game and you're not on his team ... RUN AWAY!

Actually, I will probably need this so go ahead and post that too Silent.

[Coldfire24]

Hey guys I got crackdown this week. Played a bit of co-op with a friend last night. I waited for the usually GoW game to start and it never did.....


It breaks my heeeeaaaaaarrrtt.

Yea...I checked online this week a few times but Trevor and Athena didnt have anything going. I usually look online before I actually get onto XBL. I dont like people to see me on. Anyway, hopefully theres something tonight....

[Coldfire24]

Godzilla.....are you a halo fan? Cause when the beta starts we're going to need 8 good men!

[godzillasushi]

Im a Halo 2 fan. I didnt get into the beta so I wont be playing. But I will play Halo 2 if someone asks me to. And no, I will not buy Crackdown. Not ever!

[Coldfire24]

You and your stupid celica and your bad actors....buy the game used for love of all that is playing halo 3 months early!

[godzillasushi]

Hey, if you dont lay off my Celica I WILL FIND YOU.

I actually made a New Years resolution to only buy 2 games this year. So far I have been successful in not buying anything. Crackdown is a game I truly did not like. I will not get it.

[tfactor]

There will be much playing tonight. Athena and I had to take a short sabbatical but trust that this weekend I'm looking forward to much GOW, or dead rising or lost planet. I honestly don't care which

That will of course be happening just as soon as I go to Gamestop and replace the system, scratched game and the wireless controller that doesn't work once more.

Yes this will be the 4th brand new system we've taken from this store in less than 3 months of buying the damn thing. However I found out that 75% of the 360 sold from the last shipment all needed to be replaced, so it wasn't just us. They've since got a new shipment, so we should be all good shortly.

Ok... seriously...
There is a reason that the word "God" is part of his gamertag....

You waited for the usual GO game to start??? Whatever Coldy....
You hardly ever play with us...

& actually...
Here's what happened the last 2 times you did play....

1) Drunk drunk drunk fun fun fun fun BEST KILLING SPREE EVAR!!!
We were on the same team... but then you ran off... I'm still waiting to hear what happened that night... *taps foot inpatiently*

2) I was kicking your ass all over the place with my shotgun... but then you ran off... again... I think that time you were just scared....

You are like an enigma wrapped in sushi...
I feel so honored that you reveal yourself to us...

We should definitely be around this weekend...
Hope to see you online....
Hope you'll be on my team... lol

[Coldfire24]

I've been busy with midterms. I have the whole story ready for tonight....and dum dum dum...theres a new girl now.....


Second time...internet went down...apparently you have to pay the bill. Midterms killed me.

Yea I am so completely full of crap it isnt even funny. Honestly.

BUT I am an XBL lurker. When I play with you guys, I get bombarded with invites and its very annoying. Its best to never sign on unless ya'll are there.

Anyway, I will hopefully be on tonight. I have some things to do but I will get there eventually im sure.

[tfactor]

Did someone say pie? I love pie!

[kid on an escalator]

Depends on what kind of pie it is really...

BUT I am an XBL lurker. When I play with you guys, I get bombarded with invites and its very annoying. Its best to never sign on unless ya'll are there.

I hear ya. Although right now it feels like I wouldn't mind getting bombarded with invites

[godzillasushi]

I have come to let everyone know that I choked on the humble pie I was forced to eat over the weekend. Although I still came in first place 70% of the time and I am still the greatest.....I did lose quite a bit and everyone really destroyed me. Athena has the best shotgun skills ever. And Trevor got insanely good at sniping over night. And Coldfire made fun of my car, so I took his head.

Fun games this weekend. Even when im off my game im really good.

[Coldfire24]

Hmm I don't remember that happening. I sold yall out for a date though and it was worth it. Next week spring break.....and the cruise fell through so xbox live here I come.

[tfactor]

I miss andy! poor guy is probably pulling his hair out of his head waiting for microsoft to send back his system.

[kid on an escalator]

I miss andy! poor guy is probably pulling his hair out of his head waiting for microsoft to send back his system.

Pretty much. I really hope I get it back this week, and the damn console better work this time. I love the 360 and XBL but damn they really fucked up on the quality control.

can't you just go to a store and buy a new 360 with cash, but then return it when you get yours back? You're a prince - you should have the disposable funds to cover stuff like this

[Coldfire24]

Ok everyone its time I share with you a secret. The secret for getting a new xbox within 2 hours.

1. Buy a memory card
2. Transfer important stuff onto memory card by putting your hard drive in your friends xbox
3. delete memory on hard drive
4. Take 360 to walmart and say it broke
5. Get new xbox right then without receit
6. Go home plug in and insert memory car
7. You have your old profiles and saved games and all within two hours


I have done with with a friend (his broke)

No such thing as Walmart in Sweden.

[TheAllSeeingEye]

But if you live in England, there is ASDA, which is owned by Wal Mart. They used to be very lax with giving refunds but the last time i tried i was told to leave the store so they've got wise. I think what you might have done coldfire is told everyone a cool little secret so that in around 2 months that no quibbles refund policy will vanish.

For anyone who is interested though, i can tell you how to get free Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Incidently, GRAW 2 is absolutely amazing. The single player campaign is awesome and the multiplayer actually works now.

[Coldfire24]

Listen people this is just for the zone....

Well you know I do live in Mississippi so its kinda like stealing candy from a baby around here.

I once got an arguement with a clerk because she thought a DvDrom version was more expensive then a CD version of Battle For Middle Earth.

[mcjake]

Hey you crazy characters. I am making a random visit.

[Coldfire24]

Its Mcjake!

Welcome brother!

[Lord Voldemoo]

Is he one of your buddies you play online checkers with on that crazy Box contraption (i'm jealous I don't have a 360 yet)?

[Coldfire24]

Yeah I met him with the other Xzoners (I just made up that name. nice?)
Man I hope you guys get on gears of war tonight. This is how i'm feeling.
.......
...
...
....fuck,shit,ass, rape, fuck, motherfucker, argh.

That pretty much sums up how I am feeling right now as well. Guess I won't have a 360 this week either. I wonder what the hell MS are doing since they are most likely just gonna send me a refurb.

[TheAllSeeingEye]

Have you called them to see when they might be sending it back? Usually they are pretty quick. They get yours in and send another one straight out.

No I haven't called them yet. Last time it went really fast. They got mine in and then sent another one away the same day. Not sure what the hell they are up to this time. Guess I'll call them tonight.

Now I ask you....when you say works, do you mean that you dont have to search for 5 minutes to load a game, then try to get into that game (sometimes you couldnt get in after you searched) and not have to wait another 20 minutes for the match to end? Then realizing that you jumped into the laggiest match on the planet because the guy is hosting from the top of Mount Everest?

Hmm I thought you were there....well anyway we miss you because your never on. And if it makes you feel any better, I to have sold all of you out for dates many times over the past month. My apologies.

Hmm interesting. So when your date gets in your car she says "hmm my sister has a celica.... its cute"

Ha Ha...the biggest letdown on GRAW was the absolutely shocking multiplayer code they included. Yes, i know exactly what you mean when you say that, can you believe the GRAW 2 MP demo suffered from exactly the same problem as GRAW? Anyways, so far i've not had any trouble getting into a game, i've not experienced lad and neither have any of the people on my friends list who play across the pond. So, so far, it's a better game.

As for single player, it's much superior to the original though it's a bit short, i've just finished it on its toughest difficulty. Did you ever play GRAW on PC? They had a cool option where you could look through the cam on your teammates head; now 360 has that option. Doesn't sound like much but it improves gameplay a great deal.

Well worth a purchase, or at least a rental.

Incidently, there's still no fcuking HALO 3 beta posted yet. So much for Rule of 3 that Bungie were touting. Heard an interesting rumour though it'll be out on 3rd of April at 3pm - 343 - guilty spark..how nerdy..anyways that and Mass Effect, oh and Forza 2, are what i'm really looking forward to now.

Incidently, what racing games does everyone have? It'd be nice to get some PGR going sometime, i've recently refound my love for that game.

[godzillasushi]

Oh dude I cannot wait for Forza 2. I dont know if I will ever play another game again!

Right now I have PGR3, Test Drive Unlimited, Burnout: Revenge, and Moto GP 06. But I've been waiting for Forza forever now. I do have the first one though. In fact, I probably have around 10 racing games for the original Xbox if you ever want to play those.

[athenabodicea]

Hey you crazy characters. I am making a random visit.

WHOO HOO!!!!!!

YAY MCJAKE....
You rock...

You should stick around here...
You may find that you enjoy it....
Lotsa great people & good times....

[tfactor]

McJake????? ... sorry very delayed reaction!! Actually I think this may have been another case of; I started a post but never finished and never actually posted it - it happens to me a lot

wtf was I talking about? .... that's it, weeks over, I'm getting a beer and my controller!

[mcjake]

Yeah, I check aintitcool like everyday but I had never been to the forums. Interesting..

Have you seen the new Forza 2 stuff that's been shown at the GDC? Man, that game looks like it will redefine the racing game. My favourite racing game, ever, is Gran Turismo 3 on PS2. It looks a bit dated now but it still has more options than most racing games. Forza 2 looks like it might change all that. Simply put, i cannot wait.

I've got PGR3, Moto GP and Test Drive..we should get a driving session going some time. When FORZA 2 comes though, i think that's all i'll be playing.

Harry and Mori are too puss to face us online.....

Yea it looks amazing. Just the explanation of what they did with tire physics is incredible. Forza 1 never got enough credit for not just being a great sim, but being as realistic as possible on a whole other level. They really took car calculations beyond anything before it. Anyway, I will live on F2. But yea, invite me someday and Ill play. Im pretty good at those three games.

[kid on an escalator]

I got a "new" 360 today so I am ready to play again. I'm back, baby, I'm back!

[athenabodicea]

WOW!!!
I cant imagine being without the game for so long...


Twas fun as always....
Good to have you back!!!
