congrats rob and D, and also good work jianbing, you're adding points very quickly. I still remember 15K...it seems like it was just yesterday...

Haha, well as you know, I didn't have a 360 for almost a year, so I had a lot of catching up to do ;).

Just finished Batman. Holy hell, it was awesome!! I didn't really pay much attention to the previews before it was out, so it kind of came out of left field and surprised with me how good it was. Now I just need to finish the competition rooms for a few extra achievements.

well done, but it only took you four days to clock it, you must have liked that game a lot...

It would have been 3 if I didn't go out and get so drunk that I had to sleep at a friends the other night :p . But yeah, I loved it. As I said in the Batman thread, it reminds me a lot of Bioshock, and that's one of my all time faves. GOTY 09 for me so far.

no, the forced third person perspective and high res static world with lots of detail added to textures isn't anything like Dead Space, and the crime scene investigation is completely unlike anything in the annals of time ever even hinted at in the Condemned games. It does have a lot of Riddick in it, that is true.

I don't see Dead Space either TBH. Didn't play Condemned, so I can't comment on that one.

made my goal of 45K before labor day! next goal is 50K before my third anniversary with the 360, which'll be mid november. However, that's not gonna happen if i give in and get this new job, which again will take me overseas and keep me overly busy. and relatively beer-less.

congrats slane, it's good to hear from you again and i hope you get back into gaming in earnest again. you were a role model around here after all!

Just rode up to my local Blockbuster to return Batman and was charged a .75 late fee for being 3 hours late, and to top it off they only have 5 stands dedicated to the x360, two of which are the top 10 rentals. aka They have nothing.

So it looks like imma have to do that online in the mail renting service, which I always wanted to avoid as I didn't want the hassle, but if these services have most of the games for the x360, i'll defiently deal with it. So who do you use?

Also, I heard Xbox Live was going to be doing a download/renting service where you can purchase/rent games to download and play them and it kept your purchase history (so if you deleted the game off to make space it would remember you bought it and woulnd't charge you again), was this complete bull**** or what?

no idea what that Xbox Live service you mention is, as for Blockbuster their selection is OK around here, although availability is limited. i doubt it's as bad as you make it seem, five stands is about what you get at the average store. they don't have every game ever released, after all.

and if you mean Gamefly, forget it, i think it's a con. it's for people who want to play something, anything, mostly old filler games. you'll never get the games you want, you'll wait forever for new titles etc etc. i tried it for three months then gave up and cancelled. there's no substitute for buying games, but if you're like me and can't afford it, Blockbuster is better.

No seriously, blockbuster doesn't have **** here. Literally had tons of the big, popular games (the ones I normally buy), but the ones I don't think are worth the purchase and the ones for quick points, nadda.

then maybe you'll enjoy Gamefly, if you don't mind waiting around while they ship stuff to you, you'll probably average 3-4 filler games a month. understand their business model is to keep you a subscriber, not to rent games out. they'll do the minimum to keep you hooked while also sending you the minimum. at least with Blockbuster you pay per disc.

    • Windows Live Mail : If someone was malicious

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Outlook classic is inherently better than new outlook, for a number of reasons. That said, if the only reason people need office is to read email, they should just use thunderbird.
    • Windows 11 in 2026: Are you fully on board, or still holding back?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Windows 11 is a big thumbs down from me. I used for a period of a few days while it was in insider and windows 10 was the main OS, and realised it wasn't for me. I am still waiting for Windows to be tolerable again, a shame as at one point I was very pro Microsoft.  
    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Classic outlook, not only does it have a much fuller feature set, it doesn't include Microsoft attempting to sync my emails from my servers to theirs. If classic outlook is ever removed from office, and the version I paid for in 2021 stops working for some reason, I'll use Thunderbird.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.
