    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... :)

    Bill Gates: "Viva Piñata is for little girls"

    Ouch. I thought your title was just paraphrased, but he literally says VP is for "young girls." So if I'm playing a game designed for young girls, does that make me a pervert? :lol: As for whether it's like the Sims... I have not played the Sims much, but they do have some things in common...

    Too worried to buy...

    Oy, I guess my comment made a bit of an argument. When I mentioned FUD, I was just referring to how this 'high failure rate' stigma is still attached to the 360, even though the issues with the overly-high failures were addressed. Although maybe they haven't been addressed; I was just under...

    Too worried to buy...

    I guess this serves as a good demonstration of how effective FUD can be when used properly. Yeah, they can fail. It's much more likely that it won't, especially if it was manufactured recently and if you treat it like the delicate electronic device that it is, e.g. not dropping it on the floor...

    Jan '07 on XBLM/XBLA (1/31 GRAW2/Fuzion Frenzy 2 Demo)

    Yes, until mid-Feb. MN has the scoop: http://www.majornelson.com/archive/2007/01/24/arcade-lumines-live-add-on-packs.aspx I played the demo a bit but didn't really get into the game, and I was really turned off hearing about the missing modes. Still looks a bit pricey for the full game...

    XBLA Limit Upped To 250 MB!

    Hallelujah. The '50 meg limit' really needed to go; most or all of the non-arcade ports were bumping up against this pretty hard.
