Just joined and jumped in at the number 4 spot!

Hey, that spot was mine! I was getting quite comfortable there. ;)

Actually, I've only just noticed how close everyone is from position #4 and onwards. Usually only 1-2k between scores. Better get achieving I guess!

good job underoath. COD5 MP takes a lot longer to clock than COD4...

don't know if i want to welcome you, robpears...you knocked us all down a notch! i think Vykranth will be coming round looking for you.

rookas: good one! glad we hooked up, next "chance" we get let's do it again.

EDIT: where the hell is Slane?

Me, going for the 4th place? With 17000 points between 4th and 14th? Why, sure, if I win the Euromillions lotery this week and play non-stop for the next six months.

Nah, honestly, I am trying to cut down my X360 gaming a little bit: I have played way too much the last week-ends and I realize that I did not enjoy the games and I did not get enough rest for the work days.

I'll be happy to keep the 14th, especially since Mr. RatherLargeBear seems to be rather largerly keen on taking it back. I am sure that the 13th brought me bad luck.

EDIT: where the hell is Slane?

Working my ass off = brand new 42 inch HD TV :)

School Finals = sleeping and not enjoying anything other than WoW

But in all seriousness, got my new bed, my new TV Stand with a new TV, with a new dresser and night stand and a new couch. All in well over 6K worth of ****, but I'm pimpin! Now only to start buying/renting some games to test this TV out!

well the first rule of gaming is enjoyment and meaning, so if you find yourself on the verge of burning out...give it a rest. no problem there, Vyk. take it easy for a while, i'm sure you'll be back stronger than ever. besides, you can always sneak a couple hours here and there, those sessions are also fun.

slane, good hearing from you. congrats on all the cool new stuff, but indeed, what's that kind of TV without some games to play on it? keep us posted, literally.

Since it's the festive time: congratulations for Robpears for the 51K, the newest member of the Triple 10K club: UND3RxOATH and Neoadorable for the 27K. That's 90% of the long path to 30000.

The 34K I got is just Left 4 Dead being nice with my friends and me.

All these games have been good for my gamerscore. I flew from 38K to 40K and now I'm over 41. I've still got a ton of points to get. I've still got a ways to go in Dead Space and Far Cry 2, I haven't touched the new Tomb Raider yet other than watching the opening cinematics. I decided to go for the full 1000 in Force Unleashed since it's such an easy game, although the Sith Lord difficulty is proving to be, well, difficult.

wow nice going rookas, 41K! and yes, the holidays are here, so we can be officially nice to each other heheh. so well done to everyone, you too underoath.

i doubt i'll be making 30K by the end of the year. actually the current batch of games is not that good for points, i can't get too many out of them, but they're all great fun - this is definitely a good time for gaming.

don't think you can get addicted to achieves, they're just great fun and an aid to proper gaming. i mean they help you figure out what to do in a game, set objectives and so on. sure people can get a bit obssessive, but it's not like they're drowning in a mound of blow. way i see it, if you ever feel upset about not getting an achieve, or if your objective is to get 100% in games, then maybe cool it a little. not wanting to boast, but i think my attitude towards the issue is correct - i enjoy achieves, but only get the ones that come while playing the game naturally, and then the ones i believe doable. look at my unlock rate - well under 40%. only have 100% in two titles, and don't mind one bit. i've played like 120 games on the 360, yet my score in just 27K...some say pathetic, i say balanced!

had entertained buying need for speed undercover...why is it bad?

Carbon is just dumb not even enjoyable. I loved the NFS: Underground (played that all the time on the PS2.

Wish it could be like that.

    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft offered a look at the upcoming Halo: Combat Evolved remake at the Xbox Games Showcase today. The Halo Studios-developed title is not only getting a fully remade campaign, but also new content in the form of a fresh story arc featuring Sgt. Johnson. Fans don't have to wait long, either, as Halo: Campaign Evolved is releasing next month. The new content joining the original campaign consists of three new missions that have the name "Operation: METEORITE" attached to the full project. Aside from ground-based combat, space missions are also included here. These prequel missions will take players to events set before the original campaign, where the Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson duo team up for a clandestine UNSC operation aboard a Covenant research vessel. The studio says that the story for these missions was written in collaboration with award-winning sci-fi author Troy Denning. "Operation: METEORITE gives players a chance to expand their experience with new locations, new enemy variants, more weapons from across the Halo series, and new ways to play within the Halo sandbox, all while getting to spend more time with beloved characters and witness a new event that adds to the legacy of their heroic history," adds Halo Studios. Today's new trailer showed off the game in action, including the new missions. Catch it below. Halo Campaign Evolved is coming out on July 28, 2026. It will be available across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 price tag. A digital premium edition will also be available for $69.99, offering five days of early access, extra in-game skins, and a digital art collection. A $199.99 physical Collector's Edition is also incoming, bringing a Master Chief statue, a Cortana chip, a Steelbook case, and more.
    • To give context to everybody, I bought about 2 sets of RAM, ddr4, 3200, 64 gb, 2 years ago. It costed me 150 usd for each set. If you buy RAM now you only incentivate companies to sell you expensive stuff, as Nvidia did.
    • 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.
