I feel so left out. I can't believe it's been almost 2 months since I last played. Yeah, it took me over a week to ship my 360 off after receiving the packaging, but c'mon Microsoft! They've got me looking like a big slacker.

Jeez Neo, you've almost caught me. I can't believe you guys hit 60k so easily. Nice work!

sleep, don't worry, we'll handle it from here. Hmm maybe i should get COD4 and slap on some achievements too. I got about 2200 total GS i havne't unlocked yet from the 3 free games i got. Marvel Ultimate and Forza 2 and that free Live is 5ive Arcade they gave away. i See it's the top 5 most played from our bunch so maybe i should fire it up and see if i can get some achievements from it too.

Carcassone? It's actually a fun game, nothing I would play in the long run, but the achievements are really easy to get, just one that's time consuming (5000 points all games combined). Other than that I got all of them in a few hours of gameplay, and should only be 10-15 games away from 5k since I'm averaging 110 points per game.

Forza 2, you can get 970 withint 40-60 hours of gameplay, and probally another 40-60 to get the 1 million online credits (unless you boost which is still hours). Haven't played Marvel Ultimate though.

vyk, take five and then back over the edge, soldier, we're running straight at those MG's.

COD4 is OK for achieves, i'm just getting tired of looking for collectibles in every game now...

dnast...you mean to tell me they still haven't sent you a new machine?@ that's impossible, i thought you had a new one last month or something!

and three five (sorry i'll always think of you as three five...) - forget about Forza it's a pain in the butt to get points out of that one. play it for the great game it is, not the points. i put like 40 hours into it and still only 250GS! other than that, i think it's time you bought/rented more games. what kind of patriot are you anyway? :ermm:

Nah, I got a new one during the summer and the disc drive went bad on me the day after Halo 3 came out. MS is looking into it now so hopefully I can still get a few achievements before we reach our milestone.

@Dave MB: A corrupted profile shouldn't mess up your game saves. My profile was corrupted once and all of my saves were still there after I fixed it.

CoD4's single player is so intense and captivating that I was exhausted after completing it.

Then I tried the Veteran mode and the game took me, slapped me silly for 10 minutes and I have never get some much spanking.

It's like playing Halo 3 with Raven Shield dificulty.

As far as Carcassonne is concerned, it's really my favorite XBLA game: a lot of my friends that played UNO have downloaded it and they are really enjoying it.

If only MS would add the extension of 24 cards to the game, that would be totally awesome. 4 players game with 65 cards is very short.

Some of them were still there but Forza, Sega Rally and Vegas saves all went.

slane that's like 60 hours.

vyk, the SP for COD4 was a big let down for me. on normal it was OK but kinda tepid. however, the story was good and the two POV scenes (Fulani and Jackson) were basically groundbreaking in games.

anyway, haven't gamed since sunday and won't be able to do any gaming till saturday night...already suffering from hallucination, the shakes and explosive rear end discharge.

    • Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off the official live stream of the WWDC 2026 annual developer event. The company began its latest wave of announcements with changes to the controversial Liquid Glass design language, which debuted last year across Apple's entire software ecosystem. A lot of people didn't like Liquid Glass when it first arrived on iPhone and other devices last year. The devices were plagued with transparency issues and whatnot. While Apple improved things over the year, it has now added a new Liquid Glass slider that lets you switch the transparency from clear to opaque. The sidebars now expand to the edge of the window. When you scroll the UI sideways, the refraction continues beneath the sidebar rather than being cut off at the boundary. Moreover, Apple has changed the way Liquid Glass is rendered across the system. There is a separation between different layers, which makes buttons in the toolbar stand out from the background. Apple said it "deeply appreciates" the feedback it received from users and has made adjustments to Liquid Glass.
    • FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
    • He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
