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)

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.

    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
