the old string trick? that deli guy wasn't too sharp if you got away with it for a year.

ok, let's talk again once we're both re-acquainted with the controls and stuff. any good achieves?

He was a real old greek man, I feel sorry looking back on things. But hey, I was a 8 year old juvie.

Is is VERY difficult.

But some of the achievements are a little easy. I got 4 of them within 30 minutes :s

Same here with the achievements. Some of them are a joke they are so easy. I did get the "Fast Rider" one or however they word it though... Deliver to 5 customers in less than 60 seconds without dying, which sounds way easier than it actually is, it took me about a half an hour to finally get that.

Dude, have you tried the 'break 30 windows in one day during Live co-op game'?

It's so frustrating.

well Larry so long as the lesson was learned heh heh.

as for paperboy, it'll take some learning but yes, got three achieves in the first ten minutes. i suspect the others will be somewhat harder to obtain..

it doesn't look like the arcade version, but it could be just me expecting a 360 shown on a modern LCD to look like a PCB on a 19 inch CRT screen. however, i'd say it looks like a PC version of the arcade, you know like an early VGA title.

Did you ever figure out how to do this? Does it have to be between the both of you or 30 on your own?

Me and my friend last night were playing, had this great idea to only Deliver to one house on Monday so we lost most of them, so Tuesday would be the day to do it, and although we swore between the both of us we got 30 windows more than once, we never got the achievement. It also turns out if you just get one house on Monday, the game will give you some more on Tuesday, however it will not for Weds, so weds seems to be the day to do it (although then all of the windows you broke from Monday and Tuesday are boarded up!!)

I learned the lesson like 12 years later, I was a juvie for a good amount of time. :laugh:

You know you might be right about the graphics. It is hard to say because it has been so long since I have seen the actual Arcade cabinet, so I may very well be comparing it to the later versions that came out as they became standard to me.

I have 7 or 8 out of 12 achievements after 1 day of purchase. There is only 1/2 of the ones left that I think I'd have some difficulty achieving.

The game is really fun, but I'm disapointed with the achievement targets.

However, I did win a Paperboy gamer pic! :D

I want the gamer Pic!!

You need to smash 30 windows by yourself in a single day. The guy I was playing with managed to pull it off, but I just got annoyed as I kept riding into mailboxes and shrubs due to the fact that I was going so slow.

Yeah I found that too. If your house count drops below a certain number, then some re-subscribe. You also get re-subscribers should you do a perfect delivery after losing missing some houses.

I forgot which achievement I unlocked to get the pic, but it's nice.

I can confirm it is the perfect aim for the gamer pic, as I got it earlier today.

And no way in hell can I break 30 windows on my own, just no way I see it is possible.

According to MajorNelson:

Xbox Live Arcade for the week of 2/19

What?s up with Arcade this week? Well I am glad you ask (or about to) so I?ll give you the straight

deal-eo:

There will be no Xbox Live Arcade release this Wednesday, as the scheduled title was delayed. We have a very high bar that each title must pass over in order to be released on Xbox Live Arcade and unfortunately, no titles were ready in time.

There is not much more to say (or is there?) As soon as I have news about next week, I?ll fire up the video camera post about it.t.

So it looks like nothing this week:(hen :(

I hope we see some more demos soon...

wasn't wing commander arena out like ten years ago already? i think it predates the EA era.

Nope, you had Wing Commander Academy which was a space flight combat simulator construction set: namely, select your ship, select the oposition and try to win the odds.

You had Wing Commander Armada after which was sort of half combat simulator/ half resource management game.

Wing Commander Arena does not like anything that was a Wing Commander released.

Damn, I miss these games ... :cry:

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
