Off topic: DL..I wonder what other games is in your top 5 for 360? I'm curious :)

Good Question... Not really 100% sure.

Probably since it was first released, the games I have enjoyed playing the most personally and/or just feel you could not go wrong with them if I told someone else to pick them up would be (first four in no particular order)...

Crackdown

Gears Of War

Dead Rising

Elder Scrolls Oblivion

Lost Planet / GRAW 1 / Fight Night Round 03 (All TIED for 5th as I cannot make up my mind) ;)

And I actually never got into Oblivion that hardcore at all. I just do think overall it was a brilliant game and could easily recommend it if that was a genre someone was interested in.

Anyone else having fun making car bombs with the mines? I love loading one up and driving it into a group of baddies and exploding it from a safe distance. Or playing jihadi and blowing it up on a street corner?

Mines? whered you get those? :s

I have some 'limp charges' (I think theyre called) - I throw them at people but happens :s

Now I just use them to throw really hard against people, knocking them down :D

The limpet charges are able to be remotely detonated...

When I bought my 360 from my friend I got GoW and Oblivion as well. I didn't really like Morrowind before so I started playing it with an impression that I wouldn't enjoy it, but after about a half hour of playing it I realized it was addicting as hell. :D I'm still playing it and haven't even started on the main questline yet! haha :)

I am actually thinking of starting a brand new game of Oblivion all over again. (Y) Really, really heavily considering it when the expansion comes out.

Back to Crackdown.

I did beat it over the weekend, and now I am focusing on the Rooftop Races. Only have 3 or 4 to go. Finding out they are a little easier than I first though. Already did "Road To Home" or whatever it is called, where you have to climb the agency building at the end, and one of the other Agency ones as well.

Hearing all this stuff about Crackdown really intrigues me. Unfortunately, I haven't had much time to play anything (except the almost daily bouts of Halo 2 with people in my dorm). Maybe I'll get a hold of it once summer comes, but I'm also debating actually getting GTAIV, and I probably won't get both.

Rented the game on Sunday night... played all night... played during the day on Monday.... played for an hour this morning.... and I'm on the very last boss :p

A bit short isnt it? I mean I know I gotta finish getting orbs and races, but its still moderately short!

Can someone tell me whats the story behind the engine? Is it using the same as GTA:SA?

....and who else is tired of hearing that its time to die in many different accents?

I did that, is that one that has 3 checkpoint, last point where small pond is? or other one? Other one I did 3:45 under 4:30 but after viewing the leaderboard and seeing someone completing it in 1 min 3 sec...insane. I mean HOW!?!

Nope it is the one where you start off in Los Muertos and have 11 minutes to make it back to the agency and the top of the building. I did it in about 7. I also did the one you are talking about as well, the 3 points one. I am pretty sure I did it at around the same time you did as well. But WHAT??? 1:03?????? Truly, that just seems impossible to me. LOL

I still have to do the other one at the agency, the one that is completely a different path if that makes any sense.

anyone else working on ringleader?...the rings dissappear, there is one i know i need to goet and it occasionally is there but has since dissapeard and wont re-appear :angry:

I noticed that which bugs me too. I was setting up a ramp truck before, get back in the supercar and bam the ring is gone.

Also, how does anyone get the damn car to stay in the air for 7 seconds? I can't keep it up there with the firefly like I did with the body.

I managed to get the achievement for driving through them all today. Each ring has an activation point, which you have to drive through to make the ring appear. The ring then stays there for about a minute or two, and if you don't drive through it in that time, you have to re-activate it to make it appear again.

bangbang: Bring the Supercar to the shipyard in Volk. Toss the Supercar on top of a tall stack of containers. Throw a cluster grenade under the Supercar and lock on to it with a Firefly. Let the grenade blow the Supercar into the air then just keep hitting it with Firefly missiles.

Works like a treat. I even did it with the Hot Head.

Dunno what happened, but it was awesome

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • Google DeepMind AI Control Roadmap: When Alignment Fails, Defense-in-Depth Takes Over

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....

    • A 13 billion year old secret about our Universe's origin was revealed

      I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
