Neowin Xbox Live Matches

Ok so here is the plan..When a new game comes out for the 360 in particular there is often discussion about hooking up with members from Neowin on Xbox Live. Sometimes this works out and other times it does not.

The purpose of this thread will be to offer gamers a one stop place where they can discuss and make plans to play on Xbox Live with one another, be it multiplayer, co-op or even leagues and tournaments, depending on how far we can take things.

So if this thread gets enough attention and works, who knows where it can go from here.

First of if you haven't already done so, share your gamertag with other members either directly in this topic or the Member Index which is pinned to the top of the subforum. To make this work it'll be best to play with others who live in similar time zones, so please include that in your response. State which game you want to play and match type (co-op, multiplayer etc) and enjoy the match!

So:

Gamertag:

Game:

Match Type:

Time Zone:

Along with anything else you want to add.

The only way this topic is going to work is if people play together and they keep their word they will meet for a match. Obviously this won't always be the case because we all have our lives to get on with but I think it'll really bring the Neowin community together more. Really what we want to achieve is the team work and fun from the Halo 3 Beta (if anyone joined in those matches you'll know what I'm talking about).

This thread can be used for setting up matches such as playing co-op on Gears of War for example. When you are looking for someone to play through the game with, but don't want to put up with kiddies on Xbox Live. If you are new to Xbox Live as well this will be a great way for you to get involved and meet some new people. Obviously it does not matter if you have completed the game before but just fancy playing a few chapters etc.

Also, hopefully, we will be able to set up some big matches where Neowin members can work as a team. Not everyone is going to have the same games as one another, but even 5 or so people would be awesome.

And for games such as Madden, NBA etc hopefully with a bit of organisation we can set up some sort of league/tournaments.

Have fun!

Sorry, had to leave that horrible server! Even though the ping showed green, there was a horrible weapon delay.

Then the Host Advantage really shows :no:

But you were really good man! Did you have any relations to the guy "Munky5" who joined, Elite Rank :ninja:

It's ok I only stayed for one more round anyways. Teams were very unbalanced and as you said the host advantage was crap.

Nah I was wondering if that Munky5 guy was going to mention that :laugh: I'm still learning, there is some damn good shooters on this game :|

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.

      I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
