Ouch, I wouldn't want that to happen to my Xbox. My whole entertainment system is based around it, just like yours. Do you have a place to take it for repairs?

BTW folks Since I put my 360 horizontal It's not hung once since then, so if you get random hanging then I recommend not having it standing up. I think a lot of the air thats sucked into the system gets drawn in through the base and standing it up blocks that and causes overheating?

Bwa ha ha ha ha ha!!!

I turn on my 360 today and who do I find? Ady... Playing Viva Pinata! What's more he's level 22 after only owning it 1 day!

Beware, NO ONE is beyond this game's corruptive addictiveness.

Viva Pinata for everyone!! :D

Is Pacman part of the Live arcade stuff? My wife mentioned something about they have updated the mazes for the first time in 27 years, does this ring a bell with anyone? Since I know my wife would love to have one of those big arcade consoles(Stand up) that we grew up with. Although she just corrected me and said that she wants Tempest, as Pacman's for sissies :P

Wow, I feel SO LONELY without this Thread being in the top 5 :). It is true, my Xbox 360 died. MS is going to repair my system for free, they totally rock. I should be getting the self addressed return box over the weekend and then I just have 2 weeks to wait.........2 EXTREMELY long weeks.

Why am I sad, right? I still have my Wii. Wii, ha. Someone, I vote Nestle, needs to take me out back and give me a good beating. After all this time of my arguing how great the Wii is, I'm 360less and very sad. Yesterday I pulled out Zelda and started playing through it again. It should last me the next two weeks until my 360 comes back, but it almost pains me to play it. As great as the Wii is at Party-type games, and it is, the Wii is not a hardcore gamers friend. I went to go find something, anything to buy and play. I couldn't find anything that looking interesting or decent enough to spend my money on.

So now, I will sit back and play Zelda for the next 2 weeks while I watch Fantastic Four, The Bigs, and Transformers come into the Xbox library.......and there is nothing I can do about it. In the end though, it's all good news, I'll get a newly repair unit and have it in plenty of time to prepare for the Final Fight! Someone play some Worms Online for me :(. neo

Well I'm not gonna beat you Neo. I think, you and I pretty much are in the same place and agree on most things vid3eo games. It only took us a year. :P

As for Zelda, I beat it and loved it. There's plenty to play there for the next two weeks. Let me know as you get farther into it. :D

I'm kinda surprised the Halo achievements list popped up here.

I saw it the other day on another website.

I think my only disappointment with the Halo achievements are their focus on Campaign. I mean I understand it encourages people to play the campaign and it gives offline people something to do. Also I see that there are lots of multiplayer achievements, it's just disappointing that they're only worth like 200pts.

I say this because it reminds me of GRAW. My friend had completed single player and I had not. He had twice as many achievement point as I did but I had played probably 4x more. And you hear stuff like "he doesn't have many achieve. points" or "he's really good, look at his score!"

In these multiplayer games I'm not sure single player is a good indicator of skill that's all.

As for transformers, I probably won't buy it but that won't stop me from renting! :D

What, Transformers is a MUST-BUY for me, I cannot wait to get a hold of this game. The hard part is waiting a week before I can play it!!!

Since this is the thread I am most found on, I thought I'd make my announcement here. I am taking the family back home to Florida for the Week. We are having a little vacation. We are leaving tonight and will be gone until next weekend. We are flying with little miss Kira (my new daughter who is only 11 months). It will be her first flight.....and maybe her last, lol. Anyway, you guys won't be seeing me around for a while but don't get too down without, I will be back! Have a great week and maybe when I get back I'll my Xbox back :D. neo

Yeah, have fun Neo.

I'll try and keep this thread alive in your absence. Ready?

Okay here goes:

... So... How's-- Stuff?... Anyone?

I'll keep you company... as for me and video games... Been trying to find time to work through the single player of Rainbow 6 Vegas but having to do it in babysized bites cos lifes such a mess at the mo.

Not really playig much stuff online cos It's been forever since I played anything online and can't face being taunted by a bunch of 12 yrs!

Also looking at getting a newer bigger High Def TV... but that'll likely wait til after SDCC as I'm not getting much time in and it seems silly to buy a new TV and then not have time to play on it :|

I'm actually in the same boat as you Tim, but for different reasons. I played the Halo Beta in May, but since I haven't been playing much at all. It's not cause of the little annoying kids, but rather not much desire to play. This will all change in 3 months I'm sure with Halo, and maybe before that, but who knows. ;)

I'm trying Neo! Really I am!

So I downloaded a demo the other night that I was sure I wouldn't. It's called Project Sylpheed. To my surprise, it's friggin sweet!

Definetly worth downloading for free to try.

I haven't gotten into this type of game since Rogue Squadron!

My only gripe is that it's single player. :confused:

Well guys, if you didn't already know, I'M BACK......I made a new thread about it, go read it then come back......

.....finished? Hope you enjoyed the pics :).

Anyway, I didn't do much gaming while gone on vacation and I am still waiting for my 360 back from Microsoft (Lord Willing it will be this week!!!!). However, I DID pick up Transformers: Autobots for Nintendo DS to play on the go. Let me say that, while I was skeptical about a movie tie it on the DS, most are god awful, I have to say that Transformers is really fun. It's got it problems, but overall I'm incredibly impressed. I've been playing off and on since last Wednesday (I'd say roughly 10 hours total) and I'm only at 50%. The game starts you off an a rookie Autobot that you get to name. You then so around the Open 3D world and scan different cars that you can become. You can be a hot rod or a pickup or a helicopter or a ice cream truck. You can customize the colors as well. While the majority of the game is played as your rookie robot you do get missions as the Autobots thrown in for fun. I've played as Bumblebee (several times) and Ironhide and Jazz and Optiums. The collision is hit or miss at times and the driving is very simple and there are occasional glitches, but I'd say this is the best Movie Tie-In I've ever played on the DS and one of the best DS Action/Adventure games that I've owned. If you have any questions about the game please ask, I'd be happy to answer.

Also, on the subject of games, I'm thinking of getting Transformers: The Game and The Bigs for my 360 as soon as I get it back. I know that Transformers received horrid reviews and The Bigs is getting pretty average scores. Did anyone get this game or has anyone played them? What do you think, can someone give me some insight?

And finally, a big shout out to Nestle and TBT for trying to keep the board alive in my absence :D. I'm just glad to be back. A whole week without internet can really get to a guy! neo
