Oh really...

You think that you'll kick my ass, especially how badly I caned you in that posting war a couple of weeks ago.

Well, interesting.... very interesting

boba: We shall force him into the Zone, and he shall post with words!

I just want to be an observer of this boba monkey battle. No matter who loses and wins, I will always be victorious. Thats a great feeling.

So theres new maps on Gears this week. We shall play them I hope...My favorite is Raven Down. I dont know if any of you XBL'ers have tried it out yet, but its very small and very fun. There are only grenades and its almost impossible not to find somebody.

by **thebostonlocksmith** on Thu Jan 11, 2007 2:34 pm

There's one of my friends that uses the xbox thing all the time, to be honest... i don't get the chance to go anywhere near a computer i'm too busy doing absolute shit with my girlfriend etc. when all i want to be doing is shooting some guys on Rainbow six Las Vegas....

I do have a friend that gets on there quite a bit and i would greatly appreciate it if anyone would send him some random bollocks to entertain him... His user name is 'Evilbaron'... and please bear this in mind, the man at the opposite end of your (hopeful) nastiness and swearing is going to be majorly stoned, and his name is mike, please someone do me the courtesy of freaking him out... Thank you...

by **godzillasushi** on Thu Jan 11, 2007 3:55 pm

Freak him out I shall. And to be honest.....i'd rather have a GF right now then have time to play Xbox!

by **wonkabar** on Thu Jan 11, 2007 5:17 pm

Oh, hey dudes....I'm still playing the single-player games on GOW TR and MAA. I haven't gotten around to much online play except Halo-2. I just downloaded MAKE LOVE NOT WARCRAFT....I love my 360

by **godzillasushi** on Thu Jan 11, 2007 6:42 pm

I havnt gotten into downloading TV shows and stuff mainly because I try to save money. But they have a ton of content on there. That episode is one of the best things on there right now.

by **godzillasushi** on Fri Jan 12, 2007 4:30 pm

Alright Zoners....er.....all 3 of you that post in this thread and play on XBL. Im going to be online tonight destroying people in Gears. Thou is invited to join me and win 95% of the time because im on your team. Or Halo, or whatever else it is you guys would play. Look for me! Let me know!

by **MonkeyM666** on Mon Jan 15, 2007 5:16 am

Did anyone look for you?

by **silentbobafett** on Tue Jan 16, 2007 8:19 am

I didn't! But I was on there and it said Godzilla weren't!

That Raven Down map looks great! Said it only came out today (15th) how comes you've already played it?

I might be on later! Do we have to pay for the map?

by **godzillasushi** on Tue Jan 16, 2007 11:50 am

Nope no one came on, but I did win constantly. Im getting so good at predicting what people do on that game. Ive learned the best way to kill someone is just to hide until they come by your path then chainsaw them.

And the maps are free, courtesy of Futureweapons. They might have come out early in America, who knows!

by **silentbobafett** on Tue Jan 16, 2007 12:02 pm

Heyman! That cheating! You can't hide until someone walks along!

Get in the fight! Get all Seagal on their ass!

Although I did win my first game on Friday night which was cool! :-)

by **godzillasushi** on Tue Jan 16, 2007 12:05 pm

Hey I get in the fight!! But its much easier to scare them. I love flanking people. Ive been trying to get the damn pistol achievement to....takes forever since everyone takes your kills.

by **wonkabar** on Tue Jan 16, 2007 5:04 pm

Dude, I get my ass kicked on GOW. It's fun as hell, but I'm just getting drilled right now. Halo I'm getting better at, probably cuz I kick ass on multiplayer.....but Halo-LIVE is a-whole-nother ball-game.

Yea for sure. If somehow you get past the glitchy shotgun, and n0000b combo, and iffy respawn points, and hackers, and children with filthy language that are appearantly from Lord of the Flies island where parents cant hear their sailor talk....then its pretty fun!

No shit! HTF are they killing me with one shot!

And my chainsaw never seems to work when I want it to.

Alot of brothers on GOW I noticed....nothing wrong with that, I just noticed.

We'll have to play each other in private matches so we can get better. I'll try and get on more, like I said I'm still working on a bunch of single-player games right now and exploring the different facets of the 360... movies/demos/TV/dashboard-themes/arcade etc.

I started the IMPAMILASH!-clan on Halo btw....every form of "Zone" or "Zoners" "Phantom Zoners" was taken.

by **godzillasushi** on Tue Jan 16, 2007 5:45 pm

Haha yea the brothers like the GoW. The 360 takes a while to learn everything because its such a deep media center. Its so much more then just games.

by **wonkabar** on Wed Jan 17, 2007 5:04 pm

It really is. I just started streaming stuff from my Mac. Teh-sweet!

by **godzillasushi** on Wed Jan 17, 2007 5:30 pm

I didnt know you could stream from a Mac. Are you using media center on a Mac? Is that actually possible :shock:

by **Coldfire24** on Thu Jan 18, 2007 1:14 pm

I've come back from out of the zone to play 360 with my brothers. So i'll recap my 360 experience. Rainbow Six fun. Dead Rising is too stressful I can't enjoy the game i'm so stressed out about it haha. I'm addicted to GoW multiplayer and I just got oblivion to play when no one is online. I'm thinking about Lost Planet has anyone played it?

by **TheAllSeeingEye** on Fri Jan 19, 2007 9:04 am

Lost Planet is superb. In single player and multiplayer.

Watch out online though....it's got afew people cheating.

Incidently, it seems GoW is now plagued with the same hacking that was rife in Halo 2. Some cheap fucker has hacked his disc so he can kill in one shot, runs at super speed and gets 2000 points per kill..oh and chainsaws no longer kill a downed enemy but he gets the points for it. Hope EPIC fix the problem 'cos i won't be playing it till it's sorted.

by **silentbobafett** on Fri Jan 19, 2007 9:10 am

Orrrr maybe thats how Godzilla Kept winning...hmmmm!

Hey my gamer tag is moose4787, I have gears and lost planet so if ya ever want to play, im game.

by **Ricky Henderson** on Tue Jan 23, 2007 11:52 am

I'm a pretty big Halo 2 junkie, but I've been known to play Gears of War, Lost Planet, GRAW, etc., on occasion. I like UNO and Texas Hold Em Poker too. Hell if you even want to trade animals over Viva Pinata I'm down for that too. Viva Pinata Rocks, and the gf seems to like it too.

The gamertag is: FLUFFER

I made it in a drunken frenzy, but I think its quite possibly the best gamertag on XBL.

by **MonkeyM666** on Tue Jan 23, 2007 12:10 pm

How the hell did you get Fluffer as a gametag....?? My God... are you bill gates or something!

Usually all the good ones go in the first 10 seconds!

by **Ricky Henderson** on Tue Jan 23, 2007 12:31 pm

I've been on XBL ever since the days of Return to Castle Wolfenstein and the original Ghost Recon. Xbox Live had come out about a month before I got an xbox. Oddly enough, the gamertag "FLUFFER" wasn't taken. Heh. Indeed, a god walks amongst you.

by **wonkabar** on Sun Jan 28, 2007 2:55 pm

When is Hudson gonna start making games for XBLA?

I want those damn Turbografx titles!

Your loss assholes if you choose to only work with VC

by **Hollywood_Bob** on Sun Jan 28, 2007 4:26 pm

Hey gents...I recently rolled up on my xbox 360....been playhing GOW campaign mode and Madden 07 for the last couple of weeks....my XBL tag is Hollyw00d BoB feel free to add me to the Zone friend list as I am going to start uping my online play

by **athenabodicea** on Sun Jan 28, 2007 5:18 pm

Ok...
T and I are going to get 360 right this minute & we want to be able to play online today...

Anyone going to be around later to play???

Is it worth it to have the headsets for communication????

Any advice???

by **Hollywood_Bob** on Sun Jan 28, 2007 6:48 pm

Yep athena it is most worth it to have the head sets for communication. Also you can be online right away you will just either need to purchase XBOX Live Gold when you pick up your 360 or you can pay for your subscription once you connect the 360 to the internet. While I can't speak for others I should be online later probably playing Gears of War.

by **wonkabar** on Sun Jan 28, 2007 7:21 pm

FUCK! I left GOW AND Halo-2 at my sisters house!

THE PAIN!

I'll be sure to add you Ricky & Bob. Uh, mine's in my sig if you didn't notice.

I haven't played any zoners yet cuz I've been outa town or playing single-player stuff still....I have gotten my Halo on though....I'm only ranked 4 right now....god those little fuckers are fast! And yes, athena...it's great talkn' smack into the head-set...plus you can do private-chat from the dash-board...which is sweet.

by **athenabodicea** on Sun Jan 28, 2007 7:23 pm

Whoo hoo!!!!

Thanks Hollywood...

T & I got 2 headsets and we bought 3 games... One of them being GOW... Once T gets the thing up and running we shall give it a go....

It's my understanding that we both need to create accounts in order to be able to both use headphones.... We got one free 3 month trial & one 30 day free trial... I have no idea what will happen after that... But we'll definitly look for you (How do you look for someone?) lol

I guess I need to go back through the thread & write down everyones usernames huh?

This is so cool...
I'll finally be able to hear the voices of some fellow zoners....
This sounds awesome... But I cant believe you dont have the games with you....

We just bought GOW, Dead Rising & Lost Planet...
Whoo hoo!!!

by **athenabodicea** on Sun Jan 28, 2007 7:47 pm

Ok...

Gotta go so I can plug the 360 in...

I've written down the gamer names in the thread here & we'll look for you all...

We'll post our names as soon as we get them...
See ya....

by **AtomicHyperbole** on Sun Jan 28, 2007 7:51 pm

Bollocks, did I mention I'm squarejawhero on Xbox Live? Can't remember.

Peeps you'll have to add me to play me as I'm a lazy fucker. Current games - PGR3, TDU, Lost Planet, Halo 2, R6LV

by **Hollywood_Bob** on Sun Jan 28, 2007 8:15 pm

Atomic...how is Lost PLanet? Is it up to snuff or is it a weaker FPS?

by **athenabodicea** on Sun Jan 28, 2007 8:20 pm

I'm athenabodicea on XBL and T Is trevorfactor...
We're still working on getting set up completely...

Someone should put all the zone names & their xbl names in the firs post of the thread so it will be easier to find everyone..

Hollywood_Bob wrote:Atomic...how is Lost PLanet? Is it up to snuff or is it a weaker FPS?

I actually fucking love it. True, a lot of that is the graphical effects, but the boss encounters truly keep you on your toes. I don't find the story half as piss-weak as some bang on about... kinda think that it's become trendy to do so... it's very average but allows for some nice cutscenes. Too much tea-drinking, which is an odd criticism from an Englishman.

Thing is, it's really challenged me in an old-school fashion. Dead Rising pissed me off, Gears was over too quickly and was far too flash without the substance (the best monster you couldn't even fight, the biggest a fucking wuss)... true, the AI was good but not half as good as some make out. As a single player experience I'd say Lost Planet is far better. It doesn't look QUITE as good, but it definitely impresses design wise. The worms are utterly brilliant, and some later beasts actually sent a chill down my spine.

More than the rental some people seem to think it is. It's not an FPS, it's Bionic Commando gone 3D with lovely beasts to blow the shit out of.

damn 15,000 is a fuckload of points. I'm still whittling away at 3K... If only they made achievements for Halo 2...

So we rocked the the crap out of this beast last night. OMG how very very impressive this system is. tbh I'm completely happy that we started with the Wii then moved on to this. It really feels like we've taken it to the next level

We have to play through the game but for now we are content with playing online battles (until 2am last night) with the limited knowledge we have, just go easy on us ok, we are so nooooob its pathetic

I am totally siked and literally smiling in anticipation of being able to play and talk to some of you guys. This was one of the key motivations for us to get the system. That and Athena's never ending desire to kill zombies with a large variety of weapons (dead rising)

viva la zoner battles - can't freaking wait!

Thanks Wonka... Now I just have to figure out how to add you guys :roll:

lol

BTW... We are just loving this whole online gaming thing...
We hooked up the 360, created our accounts, paid for them, put GOW in the system and went for it... No practice... Nothing...
We had no idea what we were doing, where the good hiding places were or where the good weapons were.... We barely knew how to use the weapons.... But we got better thanks to a few really cool online gamers...

The first group of guys we played with were totally taking advantage of our n00bness & stomped us in the ground every chance they got.... It was hysterical... I mean I cant count how many times my head was blown off in one shot... But as the night went on we ended up playing with a group of guys that were really awesome.. They split the teams evenly & were very helpful in explaining things to us..... They didnt seem to get frustrated with our newness... I had one guy show me places to hide and hang out... They also showed me where the bigger/better weapons were... Plenty of good advice was given... But I still need ALOT of work....
as I still got my ass handed to me again and again...

I did manage to make a bunch of kills & am looking forward to getting better at this...

When we were playing against a team of REALLY good guys, I would just say to my teamates "I'm going out there to be your decoy" and I'd run around rolling and doing cartwheels...lol
When the other team came in to kill me my guys would take them out...
It was a blast...

I can't wait to play with you guys...
Whoo hoo!!!

Just go to friends on your dashboard, click "add friend" and type in their gamer-tag. Like I said, I'm not sure about caps, but spaces are important.

Hollywood-bob....I don't know if I got you right....there's a request pending but I'm sure if it's you yet. Are those zeros in your name or just O's

I just updated Coldfire24 to Coldfire67

My goodness! Just played with Athena, Tfactor, and Godzilla.....who's a one-man wrecking-crew btw.

Just getting a bite to eat and checking in here...
