Luxor 2

Sega Superstar tennis (whatever it's called)

Feeding Frenzy

is what I'm working on until Thursday night!

Luxor 2.... :angry: I just finished playing that game for good so that I could bring balance back to my gamerscore. Thanks the OCD in me, I couldn't accept a score that didn't end in 0 or 5.

It's sad, I bought puzzle fighter just because it had a 7 point achievement for the same reason. OCD FTW!

gotta say both Fallout 3 and Far Cry 2, although very enjoyable games, are lousy for achieves...oh well, i may not make 30K as planned by the end of the year. let's see if 28K is possible. any news from other people?

With Mirrors Edge, World at War, L4D, Gears and a few others, you'll make it. I don't know how many of those you plan to play, but I expect to be well on my way to 50k by the end of the year. I'll make my "40K by 12/1" goal very easily.

welcome, Andrew, and thanks for joining the club.

rookas, i thank you for the encouragement, let's hope you're right. of those you mentioned, only L4D isn't on the list...yet. tuesday should be the last batch for me...COD, Mirror's Edge, Red Alert 3. so you're thinking 50K for you by year end? wow, ambitious, i like!

and congrats to DM for finally making 12K. i think last time he turned a digit we were still talking about Bioshock.

It probably was yeah lol. I have a pile of games to get through since then :/ and not enough time..

great hearing from you Jordan, you should post and help rally the troops more often. and welcome to Brad, although not sure about that avatar...oh well, sack boy's pretty cute. but that name...

time is always against us. there's never enough and we're always running out. so can't help you with that jonny - just think of it like this, in a hundred years, our collective gamin days will be long over :cry:

forget that and just focus on all these great titles we have here. like i told munky, this is a freakin gamegasm.

so no matter how many points you contribute, it's all good - the holidays are almost upon us!

Jesus, I am completely smashed, I spent the entire week-end playing Gears of War 2 but I crawled back to 13th

The worst thing about that I ordered GoW2 from Amazon.co.uk because I prefer to play my game in English (and I really hate those French traductions made by school-boys and 3rd rate voice actors).

It turns out that UPS has somehow lost the package or it fell from the truck.

On Saturday, I bought a game from a local store and it turned out that the English track is also on the dvd sold in France, so no need to bother ordering from the UK and the game is almost welded in the drive.

Still, I am so going Hammer of Dawn Style on UPS butts.

Gosh, I really need conselling.

no counseling needed my friend, you're entitled to your fun, this is the festive season after all. congrats on 33K btw, and didn't know the French versions were done by schoolboys heh heh.

anyhoo, 13th place is pretty good - look at me, stuck there below neyo, that never-poster. arrrggghh.

seriously, i was this close to giving up on it - it's so trial and error, you need to do jumps fifty times before you get them right...but it's a gorgeous game anyway.

have to say this is the most gaming bliss i can recall - there's so much to enjoy, i'm pretty sure we'll still be playing all this come Easter.

At least, I doubt I'll even get to Far Cry 2 by then. I've still got Mirrors Edge and Left 4 Dead to pick up, and gamefly finally shipped Dead Space today. My PS3 is getting ignored right now, and I recently bought 3 new games for it that I haven't played yet. I've probably spent around $300 in the last month on games. I don't know why I have to buy them when they're new when I know I won't have time to play them all, just a compulsion I guess.

I remember everyone saying that the 2007 lineup could not be topped, but personally I think 2008 has been a much better year all round. There's just so much to play.

jonny the jury is still out on 2007 vs 2008. i think it's just that this time it's over a shorter span - pretty much everything came out mid Oct to mid Nov whereas last year it took four months. however, for us Gears 2 is a deciding factor which wasn't there a year ago, while for those with the other console Resistance 2 fills that niche.

Rookas, why are you feeling conscious of this? it's not like you're buying heroin off a pusher, they're totally legit entertainment products. don't feel bad, you're not addicted, it's called being a hobbyist and it's a good thing. at least we're passionate about something.

    • 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.

    • "...a low price of just $340..." I don't think it means what you think it means.

    • 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
