It be pretty bold to ban you guys...even to charge for points. But who knows.

Speaking of xbox, how do you check the remaining XBL time on your account on xbox.com?

I can't figure it out at all on the new page.
 
Sign in, mouse over My Xbox, and click My Accounts. On the left hand side there should be a little column with your Live Expiration date.

Yeah, it was a lot of people that bought the points so it'd probably be a hassle to MS to ban everyone, too. I'd be cool with them charging me for the points, though.
 
Under that it should say "Expiry date" and to the right of that it should have a date, if it doesn't maybe you're having a problem with the site loading?

You can check on console by going to "My Xbox", then click your avatar/name window, click "Manage Account", scroll to the right and click "Xbox Live Gold", then it should show your expiration date.
 
I've been seeing surprisingly good deals on Craigslist lately, but I'm somewhat sure I'll get killed because literally every great deal is on the horrible side of town.
 
Mine are usually great deals, stuff all ranging from "I'm moving, get this shit out of my house" to "I was walking down the street and something fell off a truck". Being on an army base people are moving all the time and soldiers usually go for quick cash and are always selling new release games for sub-$30.

Bad part is, it's always the part of town that has all the hobos and just generally lower class people.
 
So apparently, Dead Island is nothing like the trailer. They talk about the gameplay in this week's game scoop. It's more like Dead Rising 2 + Left4Dead. More or less, Dead Rising 2, but first person. Mostly melee based combat, make your own weapons. They gave the example of combining knives with dynamite or some shit, which would make explosive throwing knives.
Still sounds good to me, but the trailer kinda got me wanting a more serious zombie game. Something like The Walking Dead: The Game. But then again, we ARE getting a Walking Dead game.

Was anyone honestly expecting it to be like the trailer?

The trailer was fine, but I was pretty sure aside from zombies it had nothing to do with the actual game.

Speaking of multiplayer zombie games though, I want another Resident Evil Outbreak. I played those games so much back when they came out. Also Outbreak 2 has the coolest coverart ever.

I didn't expect it to be exactly like the trailer, no. But I did expect it to be serious. Apparently it's actually kind of ridiculous. One of the characters you can play is a rap producer, or rapper, I'm not sure, who just says uncanny, offensive, racist dialogue every time he kills a zombie.

Well killing zombies makes people racist.

Today Imma work on Soldner-X2 some more. :bouncy: Gotta do all the challenges and shit.

I also popped DA2 in installed it and redeemed and downloaded my DLC stuff, figured I'd get that out of the way now so I don't have to do it when I go to actually play it; which like I said earlier might still be a couple weeks out since I need to finish up Awakening and Witch Hunt at the very least.[/QUOTE]

Might have to replay witch hunter since my save seems to say I haven't. Also once again all the armor you get is mid level equipment so you can't even use it yet...

Boston is cold as fuck...
 
Lol, one of my friends told me yesterday "dude, you're totally wrong about Dragon Age 2. It's great!"

He called me again today and confirmed that I was actually right all along.
 
Man, my super Sony Elitest friend is giving me shit for joining PSN+ because I was apparently "a snob that would pay for Xbox live without question, but couldn't give PSN+ a chance" till now.

You should give him shit for liking a company that produces nothing but sub-par products at exorbitant prices.

Yes. And you are still right about it. I won't pretend like you weren't right and I wasn't wrong :(

You are a snob for paying to play online.

Sony fucked up massively this gen. Trying to half ass pay to play online halfway through the generation kind of alienates your playerbase.
 
[quote name='Cheska19']Anyone in here still playing Pokemon B/W? :D When are we going to battle yo!?[/QUOTE]

I'm trying to divide my time between that and DA2, but I've only been playing DA2.

I'm only at the 3rd gym so all your pokemon are probably at a much higher level than mine....

How so? It just seems like a Perks/VIP system to me.

I'm playing it... but I'm only done with the first gym so far and haven't even made it to the second one yet. I also don't have a way to go online yet. :oops:

I'm debating if I should get a cheap router to go online with, or just get a blue 3DS at launch.

Nope, I just finished up with the second badge. You should wait for us to catch up so we can play! :D

Hurry up and get to the second badge and then go to some wi-fi center. Let's have a Pokemon night ^_^
 
[quote name='distgfx']Did you ever beat Bulletstorm?[/QUOTE]

Im on Act 6.
I stopped playing for the moment when the fucking general pushed Trishka off the cliff. If she doesn't come back I'll hate the game forever.
 
[quote name='ihadFG']I'll finally be getting Pokemon, DA2, and Bulletstorm tomorrow! This weekend will be full of gaming.[/QUOTE]

Good. We totally gotta get out game on ;)

I'm down for that.

I'll just continue playing DA2 instead of it.

I guess I'm still seeing it as them taking away features from that would otherwise be available to all (like discounts and betas).

Yep, starting to remind me of XBL Gold.

I've debated just ponying up the dough, but I'd feel dirty for it. :cry:

Like if Valve started Steam Plus TM or some shit like that. I'd be pretty pissed.

"Christmas sale exclusive to Steam Plus members!!"
 
You can get discounts w/o PSN+, but the + discounts are better and more frequent.

Betas tend to have barriers to entry, and cost is often involved. For PC, you can pay fileplanet and similar sites for more "guaranteed" access. Some devs make you buy other games to get in (Crackdown, Bulletstorm, etc).

It just makes me happy that even if Gabe Newell is a fat fuck, he's anything but stupid. Steam is probably the best managed video game "platform" of all time.

Yakuza's his second favorite game series (right behind MGS3), and DS was his GOTY when it came out.

Yeah, I agree with Uraizen. PSN+ just seems like XBLRewards done right. Not only am I getting stuff that seems worth my money, but it seems worth my time, too. I've been a member for a day, and I'm already in love with all the free shit.
