100270 Achievements: Wow. That's brutal. I guess the new target is 2.5 Millions GS

wtf vyk?! you're almost at 30K, you were 27 or so a couple days back!!!!

Soul Calibur IV, Battlefield Bad Company, Civilization Revolution and too much free time on my hand.

I can't understand why I play BF-BD: the multiplayer can be awful: the maps are unbalanced for the attack team, the weapons have bizarre settings, spawnkilling is the rule in that game and the lagging servers make everything worse during the evenings.

I almost bumped into Slane yesterday: the server decided otherwise.

f-stop, you're not lame, you're more than welcome plus we need all the swinging ###### we can get. that came out wrong, i didn't mean it like that.

to munky and ynnoj: sporadic isn't the emphasis here, we need consistency :laugh: but well played nonetheless.

vyk: what's wrong dude? BF is an awesome MP, i don't know why you have so many complaints all of a sudden! is it that time of month?! heh heh

lol. Servers were messed up couple of days ago. But the MP is by far best MP I've played in awhile. Not sure what ya mean by unbalanced for attack team, as I have no problems with attacking on any map. And spawnkilling happens if you spawn on "Squad" while there in a firefight, and occansily if there's a guy (usually me) hiding in your base killing anybody waiting to grab the Heli. :)

Busted out Phantasy Star Universe. Plan on getting the full 1000 in that, and once all the new achievements from expansion are released I'll get those too. But for now, playing a weird japanese game that freaks me out.

Fable 2 Pub Games came out. It's fun if not pure luck to win. Haven't found a "system" to beat it, but meh, got 4 acheivements in that today. Got the first of 8 achievements (that I plan on getting) in Phantasy Star Universe. Game still creeps me the hell out. And just got another Bad Company achievement. I now have over half of the awards (61 as of this post). Next to I plan on getting are 1000 tress destroyed (850 atm), and reach level 20, which I'm less than a thousand away! After those two it's reach 25 (easily), 120 awards (nobody has this), and spawn 20 squad members (get a group to spawn on ya consistently easy enough).

Phantasy Star creeps you out? doesn't take much, does it...

will be getting Bionic Commando today, can't wait. Hope some points will come of that, this weekend is my last chance to catch up to underoath before i hit the road again...

EDIT: looks like the little squirt got his hands on TMNT finally and is now out of my reach...oh well it was a good run while it lasted, back to taking it easy i suppose! (false lull)

vyk: what's wrong dude? BF is an awesome MP, i don't know why you have so many complaints all of a sudden! is it that time of month?! heh heh

Yup, it's that time of the month when the console hardware fails: lower-right led. I am a bit ****ed off because it's an Elite that I bought to replace the Core that RRODed a few months ago. That's better: I have only one red led, the previous time I had three.

The console is going to do a little trip in Germany to a beautiful place where xboxes frolic in the sun.

So, guys, the 14th place is up for grabs: I say 14th because Snugglepuffle again overtook me. That's OK: it's not as if I could not be brutal when it comes to achievements unlocking.

Yeah, the servers have been much better recently. The unbalance I was refering to is more for the defense team than the attack team. Take Oasis: the attack team is much better equiped than the defense team. Also, on the maps with the artillery, you usually have someone on the attack team who gets to hammer the spawn point of the defense team destroying tank and helicopters at the very beginning. I'll admit: whenever I get the arty, I do that. ;)

Recon, specilist, demo all can take out tanks. Support can take out a heli. You don't need to rely on vehicles to kills vehicles. One C4 stick blows up any vehicle in the game. One laser designator will kill any vehicle (occnasily your too far away and only wound it), takes only a few rockets to destroy a tank. Takes one land mine to destroy any vehicle. The problem is people don't realize this or won't spawn as any of these classes to take them out. Or you have 10 snipers all with lasers and not using them.

vyk sorry to hear about your machine. did the Germany trip help?

The console just failed a few hours ago. I am going to package it next monday.

I booted the good old gamecube: it has aged ... I did not realize HD gaming made such much difference until right now. There is not just any comparaison possible between old gen and current gen console.

and i think the board is screwed up...is someone else also having problems? it's all messy and the coding seems off.

Yup, it's messed up. Everyone below 16th has bizarre gamer picture and the same GS points.

The 10 sniper team who defend 3 kilometers away from the gold crate? Been there, done that. It's a great moment of solitude when you are the 11th as support next to the gold crate "Help, guys, please?". It's almost burnout paradise when you're in the attack team. ;)

Just beat GTA IV. Talk about a insane game...I really enjoyed that one and hopefully there will be many more of the GTA franchise to come out.

Achievements I got easiler this morning were: Beating the game in less than 30 hours, half-a million, You Won! Working on the 100% completetion...I'm about 72% done lol.

Good luck Oath. I still need to finish the SP achievement races and all the birds. Think I'm at 50-suttin before I gave up. It's just to time consuming, I mean I'll eventually do it, but I can only do 10-20 birds before I go on a rampage.

I know what you are saying. I'm working on the Races and having everyone 100% with me right now. I never even knew about the bird achievement until my brother told me.

Thanks btw.

bon voyage vyk - interesting comments on the prev gen btw, yeah i'm sure if i loaded up the PS2 right now it wouldn't be the same.

good going oath, finishing the story in under 30 hrs, not bad.

TMNT is a very easy game, except the last level of the game wanted to make me kill myself.

    • SpaceX has secured a significant cloud-services deal with Google, agreeing to a monthly payment of $920 million for computing power.  This agreement, covers approximately 110,000 NVIDIA GPUs and other components.... https://cio.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/investments/google-to-buy-computing-from-spacex-at-920-million-per-month/131543026    
    • no thanks is overpriced and its not the fastest ram neither.
    • It is, but it also has a bad performance reputation even on high-end gaming PCs. Some people say it's the engine's fault, others say it's the games developers' fault, who knows... At the end of the day, for the average gamer, the take is this: PC game with Unreal Engine 5? Be affraid and cross your fingers, it's a 50/50 chance.
    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a new Xbox console reveal from Microsoft celebrating the gaming brand turning 25 years old. This is to be a new limited edition Xbox Series X and controller collection that draws on the design of the rare green version of the original Xbox console. The "XBOX Series X25 Limited Edition" is coming out later this year with its matching controller. "Inspired by the look and feel of the original XBOX console, both the console and controller feature a translucent OG Green design, with subtle tributes to the journey we’ve been on together," said Microsoft in the announcement. The Xbox Series X|S line has received several new variants over the years, but this will be the first edition with a translucent design. The Xbox Series X25 will have one terabyte of internal storage and a green light on the X to signify the console lines' history. There is a 25th anniversary logo printed on the front plate. Microsoft is also teasing that the community will be able to find "a few hidden surprises throughout" the machine as well. As for the new X25 Special Edition Xbox controller, this is also coming with the classic translucent green design for its front and back plates. "From the original ABXY colors, to the timeless green, every detail calls back to the beginning, including the bumpers honoring the original black and white buttons on the original “Duke” controller," says the company about this release. "The back case and battery door are fully transparent, revealing the classic XBOX logo." The XBOX 25th anniversary collection, containing both the translucent console and controller, will be available for purchase in November 2026 as a limited-edition release. Microsoft will be offering the new XBOX Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition separately as well. Pricing details and pre-order information will be coming later.
