Evening Reading
by Nick Breckon, Jul 02, 2009 6:00pm PDTIt's all about Trine this weekend. And also probably Civilization IV, now that the insane 2K Steam pack has reminded me of its existence. Civilization IV is the ultimate black hole of gaming. Once it latches onto you, it pulls you down into its dark spiral, devouring your weekend and stripping away your dignity before the end.
- Fallout 3 is 50% off on Steam this weekend
- 2K Games 'Huge' pack is a great deal, too
- Asteroids is getting the Hollywood treatment
- Splinter Cell Conviction trailer captures interest
- Indie platformer Fez coming to XBLA next year

The problem is, I JUST BOUGHT IT, days ago for the 49.99 price.

Side note, regarding the character abilities honestly I think the thief outshines in the Warrior towards the endgame except for the holy shit tons of enemies or one big enemy moments. Once you start getting the bow speed enhancements she's crazy. Although the Warrior's Fire Sword is bad ass

No idea why, but the NES Friday the 13th used to scare the piss out of me. I'd watch friends play it, but would never play it myself. The part where you're walking around the paths and going into random houses and occasionally Jason would be there would make me cringe for some reason

Independence Day Pre-gaming Friday!
Let's properly get excited about the 4th of July! Maybe you love America! Maybe you love explosions! Maybe you love America exploding! Who cares, let's play video games! I'm proposing we try to figure out some stuff to play ahead of time so we can install games, secure time from significant others and 2 month old kids, and coordinate to know we'll have enough players for something. I know there's people who have the day off. Maybe EvilDolemite will tell us more about life in academia.
I'm up for seeing anything played, from silly freeware to betas to 360, whatever. Let's just get our shit together and get some balls rolling. And fry can roll dongs.
Currently we're looking at:
Heroes of Newearth: whistletits, kbnerd, chrisschutz, gary the llama, c0bra, lexicon, xanthos, tshandy
BF1942: stgdz, romulan, kbnerd, arcknight,
CS:S: ass-street
L4D: d3g3nr88s
TF2: halophoenix
Worms 2 XBLA: chod
Bad Company: hoov1185
Neotokyo: TShandy
WORLD'S BIGGEST CIRCLE JERK!!!!!: Korban
Other possibles I'll toss out: Dawn of War 2, Sins of a Solar Empire, Soldat, <insert game name you like here>. I don't care, coordinate simultaneous Dwarf Fortress experiences, run a Heroes of Newearth noob training course, just do something.
Propose a game, a time to look for people and then double-check your shack profile to make sure you have something there and it's accurate.

I've tried numerous things such as direct connection to the PC, disabling firewalls and AV, uninstalling TVersity (which did seem to work BTW...). Thoughts? I'd really like to figure out how to get this to work as it's one of the main reasons I bought the 360 to begin with.
You know.....because I'm a criminal and all.

So I am playing a video game, and the computer just dies randomly. So I start her back up, and everything is going fine until it gets to the vista loading screen. It does that little green bar thing and after that just stops.
WTF
Every, fucking, time.
It will start into safe mode just fine. But nothing after that.
Any suggestions?
