    Free Mass Effect 2 DLC from Dr. Pepper Promo

    Thanks OP; worked like a charm. I don't drink dr. pepper, so I probably would never have heard about this otherwise.

    Amazon Lightning Deals: The Orange Box (PC) 10AM PST

    Pretty decent deal if you don't have the game yet. I've been waiting for a sale opportunity, so I didn't hestitate when I saw it on amazon just now. Still a few minutes left to take advantage...

    GH II band names...

    Amish Apocalypse I originally saw it as part of a fake video game title at this site, and it randomly came to mind when I was thinking of a band name. I still get a laugh out of that generator every now and then.

    So who didn't complete the Old Spice challenge?

    I finished around friday/saturday, but then forgot to go to the website afterward... fortunately I remembered sunday morning before this mess happened. They did the same thing with the discounted Lumines stuff awhile back (regular prices went up a day early). I don't know if it's deliberate or...

    Watch 300 clips and win a copy of Crackdown

    I got this in my email yesterday. Almost deleted it because it looked like spam/data mining, but then I recalled that I had actually entered a contest. Looking back in the thread, it looks like the winners were already chosen, so they must have had some non-responders. Anyone who entered...

    Hardest 10 360 games to get 1000/1000 Achievements on

    I assume that one is a joke, because king kong is not a hard game :lol: GRAW is definitely on that list, I know it has some insane multiplayer achievements (#1 worldwide or somesuch). PDZ has some tough single player and time consuming multiplayer achievements as well.

    Guitar Hero 2 Xbox 360 - free shipping, no tax, free bag, RedOctane.com!

    Pretty good deal, I finally gave in and went for the single guitar bundle. $60 for an additional wired guitar makes me wonder about the price of any forthcoming wireless guitar, though. If they don't price the DLC well I'm going to be pissed; I already have the full deal (GH1&2 + wired...

    XBLA - Worms - 400pts

    Can you pull off the flip tricks with the ninja rope in this version? Maybe I'm just rusty from not playing in ages, but I wasn't pulling off any fancy stuff with the ninja rope. It seemed pretty much the same for regular usage, though. I only played a couple games last night, but I had little...

    Washington D.C. Metro area.

    Wow - that's a nice venue to play at, congrats on that ;). A friend of mine wanted to see 3DG, but we were too late to pick up tickets. Has anyone heard any word on if/when the CompUSAs in the area are going to up the discounts? I hadn't known they were closing until recently, and 10% off...

    XBLA - Worms - 400pts

    To be fair, most of the weapons they cut were insanely powerful and/or simple, so they appear to be trying for more strategic gameplay. Things like the concrete donkey, super banana bomb, etc. make it way too easy to mass slaughter everything in sight. A lot of the less destructive weapons...

    Puerto Rico is coming to XBLA!!!! (Rumor)

    Never heard of it either, but the information is out there, people :). Gameplay summary, shamelessly stolen from wikipedia (here): The game consists of several different mechanisms which fit together in a carefully designed way. While the rules are simple, misunderstandings are common...

    XBLA - Worms - 400pts

    800 points is a sweet price, I would have been willing to pay more. Glad I don't have to :). The weapons list I saw in the screenshot on joystiq made me do a double-take... there's a helluva lot of weapons missing from some of the previous worms. I find the lack of a holy handgrenade(!)...

    How/Where did you get your gamerpic?

    Aside from the problem of moderating any pictures (if there was a way to upload your own), I think the gamerpic business is too lucrative for MS and most developers to set aside. I've only downloaded a non-free set once or twice (my current one is from one of the Hitman packs), but downloading...

    Rewarding Achievements - Confirmed!

    The 'annual gamerscore' they're using for the first iteration of this program must be your current score, because I seem to be in tier 3, and a decent chunk of my points were around launch. Not like it's going to do me any good, I don't think I'll be finishing before they run out of the...

    XBLA 2/7 game is Root Beer Tapper

    This is a rather weak start to the XBL awesomeness that was promised. But if they'd freaking release Worms already (how about next week?), I would be willing to overlook this transgression... :)
