despite my personal misgivings about it since i lead a cross-border lifestyle, i liked Black Ops. it's the best COD since COD2 and if you like shooters with nice presentation, a decent if somewhat cliched story and really addictive MP, then you should def get it. it's just that Treyarch geo-lock their DLC, so make sure your console and account are always in the same IP region...no Black Ops for you if you go to visit family in the mideast, for example.

tazzeh - never really got into RDR MP, didn't seem like a lot of fun.

hey tazzeh, check my gamertag/gamercard, it shows everything. right now on the 360 my main games are FEAR3 and Fight Night Champion, but will also be replaying Vanquish soon. next game to be picked up for the 360 ought to be Call of Juarez the Cartel.

Toast - better get that Gold renewed, you can find some good deals, even via the official Xbox site.

Will do, just waiting to play dungeon seige 3, hold is almost ready for pickup at library, so once I finish that, I'll renew gold, get black ops...

the campaign is actually quite good, but maybe you're too young and too Canadian to appreciate the Cold War references :laugh: it's a solid, very honest campaign that does what it does and that's all it does, if you know what i mean. the MP is awesome addictive, as usual for COD games

Possibly but even then i'll only play MP for a while to come...

don't feed the anti-gaming crowd...you're not killing anyone. you're playing with other people, not killing. there's no actual violence taking place.

lol I know, I know, was just trying to make it sound 'dramatic' besides why would the anti-gaming crowd be lurking in the Gamers' Hangout section, shouldn't they just boycott it or am I missing something?

TF2...pfff :whistle:

at any rate my friends, it's time to declare our GS goals for the remainder of the year again...you have until that magical night of Dec 31 to complete them...ooh can't wait for the holidays!

mine is 78K...i'd go for 80K but that feels to ambitious for me, plus at the rate i'm going even 78K will be tough. let us know your goals! i'll hold you to them.

PS: steeltoast, your goal is 10K. it has been decided. proceed.

    • BATorrent 3.0.3 is out.
    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.
