100270 Achievements: Wow. That's brutal. I guess the new target is 2.5 Millions GS

wtf vyk?! you're almost at 30K, you were 27 or so a couple days back!!!!

Soul Calibur IV, Battlefield Bad Company, Civilization Revolution and too much free time on my hand.

I can't understand why I play BF-BD: the multiplayer can be awful: the maps are unbalanced for the attack team, the weapons have bizarre settings, spawnkilling is the rule in that game and the lagging servers make everything worse during the evenings.

I almost bumped into Slane yesterday: the server decided otherwise.

f-stop, you're not lame, you're more than welcome plus we need all the swinging ###### we can get. that came out wrong, i didn't mean it like that.

to munky and ynnoj: sporadic isn't the emphasis here, we need consistency :laugh: but well played nonetheless.

vyk: what's wrong dude? BF is an awesome MP, i don't know why you have so many complaints all of a sudden! is it that time of month?! heh heh

lol. Servers were messed up couple of days ago. But the MP is by far best MP I've played in awhile. Not sure what ya mean by unbalanced for attack team, as I have no problems with attacking on any map. And spawnkilling happens if you spawn on "Squad" while there in a firefight, and occansily if there's a guy (usually me) hiding in your base killing anybody waiting to grab the Heli. :)

Busted out Phantasy Star Universe. Plan on getting the full 1000 in that, and once all the new achievements from expansion are released I'll get those too. But for now, playing a weird japanese game that freaks me out.

Fable 2 Pub Games came out. It's fun if not pure luck to win. Haven't found a "system" to beat it, but meh, got 4 acheivements in that today. Got the first of 8 achievements (that I plan on getting) in Phantasy Star Universe. Game still creeps me the hell out. And just got another Bad Company achievement. I now have over half of the awards (61 as of this post). Next to I plan on getting are 1000 tress destroyed (850 atm), and reach level 20, which I'm less than a thousand away! After those two it's reach 25 (easily), 120 awards (nobody has this), and spawn 20 squad members (get a group to spawn on ya consistently easy enough).

Phantasy Star creeps you out? doesn't take much, does it...

will be getting Bionic Commando today, can't wait. Hope some points will come of that, this weekend is my last chance to catch up to underoath before i hit the road again...

EDIT: looks like the little squirt got his hands on TMNT finally and is now out of my reach...oh well it was a good run while it lasted, back to taking it easy i suppose! (false lull)

vyk: what's wrong dude? BF is an awesome MP, i don't know why you have so many complaints all of a sudden! is it that time of month?! heh heh

Yup, it's that time of the month when the console hardware fails: lower-right led. I am a bit ****ed off because it's an Elite that I bought to replace the Core that RRODed a few months ago. That's better: I have only one red led, the previous time I had three.

The console is going to do a little trip in Germany to a beautiful place where xboxes frolic in the sun.

So, guys, the 14th place is up for grabs: I say 14th because Snugglepuffle again overtook me. That's OK: it's not as if I could not be brutal when it comes to achievements unlocking.

Yeah, the servers have been much better recently. The unbalance I was refering to is more for the defense team than the attack team. Take Oasis: the attack team is much better equiped than the defense team. Also, on the maps with the artillery, you usually have someone on the attack team who gets to hammer the spawn point of the defense team destroying tank and helicopters at the very beginning. I'll admit: whenever I get the arty, I do that. ;)

Recon, specilist, demo all can take out tanks. Support can take out a heli. You don't need to rely on vehicles to kills vehicles. One C4 stick blows up any vehicle in the game. One laser designator will kill any vehicle (occnasily your too far away and only wound it), takes only a few rockets to destroy a tank. Takes one land mine to destroy any vehicle. The problem is people don't realize this or won't spawn as any of these classes to take them out. Or you have 10 snipers all with lasers and not using them.

vyk sorry to hear about your machine. did the Germany trip help?

The console just failed a few hours ago. I am going to package it next monday.

I booted the good old gamecube: it has aged ... I did not realize HD gaming made such much difference until right now. There is not just any comparaison possible between old gen and current gen console.

and i think the board is screwed up...is someone else also having problems? it's all messy and the coding seems off.

Yup, it's messed up. Everyone below 16th has bizarre gamer picture and the same GS points.

The 10 sniper team who defend 3 kilometers away from the gold crate? Been there, done that. It's a great moment of solitude when you are the 11th as support next to the gold crate "Help, guys, please?". It's almost burnout paradise when you're in the attack team. ;)

Just beat GTA IV. Talk about a insane game...I really enjoyed that one and hopefully there will be many more of the GTA franchise to come out.

Achievements I got easiler this morning were: Beating the game in less than 30 hours, half-a million, You Won! Working on the 100% completetion...I'm about 72% done lol.

Good luck Oath. I still need to finish the SP achievement races and all the birds. Think I'm at 50-suttin before I gave up. It's just to time consuming, I mean I'll eventually do it, but I can only do 10-20 birds before I go on a rampage.

I know what you are saying. I'm working on the Races and having everyone 100% with me right now. I never even knew about the bird achievement until my brother told me.

Thanks btw.

bon voyage vyk - interesting comments on the prev gen btw, yeah i'm sure if i loaded up the PS2 right now it wouldn't be the same.

good going oath, finishing the story in under 30 hrs, not bad.

TMNT is a very easy game, except the last level of the game wanted to make me kill myself.

    • 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 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.
    • People in the '50s and '60s had the same attitude, and we're still here over a half century later.
    • So after some fiddling I was able to get it to run at a pretty stable 30FPS. I'm slightly surprised about how much fiddling I had to do to get there though given what I thought was reasonable hardware: Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 7700S I think I could do it better if I use Linux rather than Windows, Windows RAM usage is stupid without stripping the system down. But once I got it working in a reasonable state, it was so awesome! I felt like a new Bond! If anyone has any advice to get things going a bit smoother FPS-wise, I'd appreciate it.
