Rob may ask you to do all sorts of weird things. Often involving badgers.

But glad to have my friends Vyk and Slane back, you guys need to put in more effort though I admit we're running out of games for the 360. Currently Windows Phone is my main source for points, there are tons of good games there.

EDIT: forgot to say congrats to Rob on completing Skyrim, 83 hours is quick.

Effort? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Fun. I want to enjoy and have fun playing games.

And, currently, I am getting my daily dose of fun on STO, not on the 360.

Last afternoon was the picture perfect example: I was playing Splinter Cell Co-Op campaign with a good friend while talking with other friends in a group.

When someone suggested that the 6 of us go to MW3 and I tagged relunctlantly along, Well, I stayed in MW3 at least 120 seconds before rage-quitting because of the conection. I stayed in the group while starting SC5 and for the next 20 minutes, I heard my friends curse and shout and get angry at the game.

No, sorry, but no dice, gaming is not throwing insults, howls or controlers at the screen. On the other hand, quantum torpedos salvos on borgs ...

Glad you're really enjoying your Star Trek. When I said effort, meant it figuratively...of course having fun is the first priority. Not sure why MW3 makes you so angry, I'm fine with it. Maybe BF3? Never makes me mad enough to rage quit!

BTW im closing in on 77K, with Win Phone I should be able to make my goal of 90K this year.

No? and i've not been trying either? I need to play plenty of games but i'm just not in the mood for anything these days other than some gears multiplayer and even then i'm not really in the mood. I don't have much of a passion to play any games at the moment.

I might just curl up in a corner and drink and drink and ....

Stoup moaning and get back in there. Not in the mood. Sound like the lady im with, the one that doesn't like the talking!

EDIT: plus from what I remember you're a Heineken drinker...call that drinking? I drowned my sorrows in half a bottle of whiskey last night, now that's respectable!

Finished Mass Effect 3 and managed to get 810/1,050. Which took my total gamerscore to 113,487.

But boy am I angry at Bioware/EA, possibly one of the worst endings to a gamer EVER. Think the ending to LOST.... but WORSE.

Congrats on finishing it and want to see you at 115k soon. And man I can't wait to get to that ending, the more people bash it the more BioWare chuckles to the bank. Didn't mind the lost ending cause by that point the show was quite a mess anyway, but since I think ME3 is the best in the franchise, if the ending is crap I'll be upset too.

welcome aboard Daedroth, and cool name BTW. what is your gamerscore right now, too lazy to look it up heh heh.

and i know what you mean Delta, when you have too many games you tend to get indecision syndrome and then just end up spending whatever free time you have watching a movie or something rather than gaming. i'm like that now, i have dozens of games backed up, just finished Crysis on the PS3, and i bought that in November!

Haha. Now I'm telling myself that I should finish up some of the random arcade games I've downloaded...I play them for a good 10 minutes and I'm done! LOL

yeah same here Delta, for sure, just bought that Deep Black game...no idea if i'll even play it. And Win Phone is even more of a compulsive buyer's haven, achievements and the games only cost like three bucks!

Well i see you're close to 40K so keep at it! I managed to get to 79K finally, hope to make my goal of 90K this year.

Geeze, can't even keep up with you guys anymore. It seems ya'll are packing on 2000 a month or something. LOL I've done 2345gs since January 2012! (actually even surprised it's that much :D). Gonna have to put the hammer done and finish up a few that achievements that i've been trying to complete.

Gears of War 3 - i need to complete in 4 player co-op plus unlocking some executions and all that.

Gears of War 2 - Guess there's a few small things left over I can go for, just needs time.

MW3 - yeah gotta finish that on Veteran and all this stuff still plus few of the easy achievements.

Black Ops - same thing - got stuck on this one level on veteran and gave up. :D

Arm of 2 - Hehe, got it for $5 at the store so I just took it. haven't even started that yet.

Halo Reach - still gotta finish all that - only started like 1 level and then never did anything more about it.

I'm gonna see if I can get the Rainbow Six discs somewhere and finish those as I got them but never played them, just loaded it once and before I went back I sold the system and games (back in 2008).

I'd help you with Army of Two, but the game is region locked. European copies are marked as "Army of Two [EU]" when you look at them on the Dashboard, and can't play with American copies. With that said the game is good for about 700G, if you're willing to put the time in. You'll also want to exploit the money trick on the China level so you can afford to buy Gold for all the guns. Basically, get the AK and fully upgrade it. It wrecks any other rifle in the entire game because the damage is basically the same as the PKM, but it's more accurate. Pretty ridiculous, but it's all you need. Finish the game solo and you'll get 100G for doing it with the AI, then run through the first few missions on Professional and there's some more free Gamerscore in it for you. It's not a horrible game, but it's every bit as dudebro-tastic as Gears of War.

As for the Rainbow Six games, Vegas 2 is easier for achievements than the original Vegas, I'd say. It's also a much easier game in general. :)

hi guys, good to have this back up and alive!

Shotta, you're in luck. i've barely been gaming lately for personal issues so you may still catch up to me, well maybe not since there's like 72K points between us :D

and Ferson is right on the money Army of Two is not only an awesome game, especially for five bucks, but it's a good point earner, you will easily get 700-800 out of it.

thanks for keeping this place lively Delta! i see your gamerscore is coming along nicely..can't say that bout myself, hardly any gaming lately. and i don't know what the hell is going on with all the other guys, they've totally disappeared. where the heck is Rob?

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
