So, my brother and I just beat this game last night in co-op. I must say, it's my current favorite 360 game so far. Everything thing about is so much better than the original and I had a blast (literally and figuratively).

We're special :p

I've not done it myself but I've heard when you are in kill cam there is an option to do it.

edit: no more 33Brad? :( lawl

Hmmm, fair enough :p

What's kill cam? When you die in horde? :wacko:

And yes, no more 33Brad, rofl.

I'll be on sometime today guys, probably going to jump back into the campaign. Instead of the COG tags this time around, I like actually learning more about the story with those journal entries filling that spot. Really polished all around.

Sadly though, it seemed like the campaign was lagging (FPS wise) quite a bit yesterday on multiple levels so I'm not sure what is up with that. I installed it to HD now so I will see if that makes any difference.

I almost did that... thankfully I caught myself. I accidentally moved one of the sticks and almost pressed it.

As someone who likes getting achievements, I love the ones in Gears of War 2 so far... they're all attainable and fun to get. Seriously 2.0 is going to take a long time, along with the 1999 rounds, but they're all still fun.

Story's much better than the first, IMO... I don't have a problem with the story, personally. I don't see why people consider it bad... just not that in-depth. But the game also assumes you know everything about the war, just as Half-Life 2 does ;)

in kill cam - the way you are able to view the game when dead, press the B button, you view these in the journal

Yup, then if you get a good one, just press Y to upload it, then sign into your Windows Live ID on gearsofwar.com and visit the 'My Photos' section to save them to your gallery or your PC.

I haven't played online yet (dorm connection sucks and I have the NXE and am not in the program), but is it really true you can't have guests because there are no player matches? And that matchmaking is the only option -- ranked only?

As far as I have found out no guests. While I complained earlier, I thought about it for a while and realized it was a better decision on their part. In the original it was separated into player (you can have guests) and ranked (no guests). If my friends and I wanted to ever play ranked, it turned out to be always against insanely good people. We would try just player matches but it would always be glitchers and people screwing around.

This time around, it is all condensed so you will play against good people and bad. If people do screw around, you can actually coordinate bad feedback against them etc. If you want to play with guests, stick to Horde I guess.

Yeh basicly no matchmaking for guests :( but i think theyre allowed in private matches (custom games) it is a bit annoying that theres no unranked, but its a bit dumb you can't have guests

actually anyone know if guests allowed in wingman? coz thats the only other playlist i can see them being allowed into

and indeed, the cool parts of the game are EPIC :woot:

    • This Samsung T7 external SSD deal lasts less than a day

      Looks like no official TBW rating, which should be a required listing in my opinion for sites like Amazon (hell, put it on the box too.)

    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I think I understood the article fine. Online password managers open users up to more possibilities of getting hacked, and due to KeePass being offline and local it reduces the idea of getting hacked. If someone chooses to put their database online they're kinda missing the point. With regards to the idea of the on-prem idea, I would have two issues. I'm not sure about the first issue, but I wouldn't be surprised about them offering a cloud storage for the passwords that most wouldn't bother to switch off, regardless of if they went for on-prem or not. The second issue is that the on-prem solution for Bitwarden costs money, whereas KeePass is free and open-source (as far as I am aware). The article points out how to sync the database between devices, and I recognise that deficiency in security. But it isn't a necessity. So both services can offer a same idea, but one is free and the other isn't...choices, choices.... But to each their own.

    • The Light of Life? We actually do glow till our Death, study finds

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      I am not surprised because life is the product of a lot of biochemical and physical processes that releases various energies as a by-product. The only thing new here is the detection of these photon emissions. The researches noted this "glow" is not a metaphysical one. They don't even immediately end when one is dead. Things like fires, light bulbs, and on a bigger scale stars release a lot more "light" and they are hardly alive.
