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.

    • KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.

    • The very fact that a TPM (v2.0 specifically which is part of the issue I suspect) is now a baseline for any supported Windows installation will naturally mean other vendors will start to leverage it as they know it'll be there. It's called progress, and it's always been the way. A TPM isn't a windows thing, it's just a module designed to securely store keys. Secure boot isn't a Windows thing (although MS are the TCA as I recall hence the upheaval this year as the 2011 certs expire), it's just a way to verify a bootloader is signed. Windows simply leverages them.
    • It's a local account with the ability to reset a password at a very base level. I really don't get the issue that gets whipped up around it But you do you
