I am if I don't join and you immediately get offline again >>

The only time I get "mad" or "angry" is when I'm playing an online multiplayer game and someone makes a ridiculous racist/sexist/etcist comment AND I'm a little on edge with some other problem subconsciously to begin with. Otherwise I'll just say "sheesh, damn, lame" and maybe some expletives on online multiplayer, and that's that. I actually enjoy competitive fighting games, even if I'm losing, just fun to play in a social context(never was a sore loser.)

I'll probably wait for a price drop on Hot Pursuit Dragsy, are there online achievements?

When is tonight for you Benji? In terms of hours from now, so I can decide on when to sleep/how long to sleep, seeing as I haven't played COD with you.

Storyline wise it's supposed to be Assassin's Creed 2.5, as I believe Assassin's Creed 3 is supposed to take place mainly in the "modern" times of the AC Universe.

It's fixed in the sense that instead of not being able to find a game for 20 minutes and resorting to joining your friends in session to working every 5-10 tries. It's not new though, the same problems happened(at least on 360) with COD4, WaW, and MW2. I remember it was a few weeks before my friends and I could actually party up and get into a game together on MW2.

GT5 plus A LOT of other games are really pushing me towards asking for a PS3 for Xmas.

I haven't had any problems with it? I don't know how big a party or what system you're using, but on PS3 with 2 people it's been going pretty well. Bit annoying that there's no microphone icon when you've got one on because I spent twenty minutes trying to sort it out when it turns out it already worked. :| It's actually a lot better now than the first night I played. There were 6 of us trying to play wager match, and we had to resort to "if you get in an empty room invite the other 5 people." Then when we had 4 of us trying to play Team Deathmatch, it took us 20 minutes to find and get into a game, and had to wait another 20 minutes or so every time someone new wanted to party up. Like I said though, a lot better now, a party of 6 of us were getting into games a lot faster without as many party drops. EDIT: Yeah, and then you didn't bother to say hello SDM

Yeah, matchmaking is a bit shit now, especially if you have a party of people. It was like this for MW and MW2 it's first week or so, so hopefully they'll have it patches and awesome in less than a month.

We'll try to get you in for some games, Team EWB is raping right now. Last 6 or 7 matches? We've all won by a large comfortable margin.

Ah, was more in response to the people who were losing their companions and didn't know where they were. RIP Kaney's companions.

In regards to the companions, just wait a few days(unless you're playing hardcore, then probably stock up on water/food and sleep then wait.) Whenever I lose a companion I just wait until it says they've returned to a place, then go back and get them.

Oh man, this game is awesome, assuming you like COD games. I'm doing fairly well(only had one match with a negative kill/death ratio), and man oh man is Gun Match awesome.

Wonderful! I shall enjoy playing with you guys if you're on when I get my copy.

You going to be on 360 or PS3? Either way I'm sure a lot of people will be playing, and I'll be on in about...7-8 hours if UPS is on time. 360 that is

Don't worry, Ruki does too!

If I were living with someone who had more money than me, I would pull this kind of shit all the time. On topic... I've played MW & MW2, but none of the other COD games. Does anyone think there will be any value in me picking up World at War before I got Black Ops? Wiki says there's at least one or two characters from WAW in Black Ops, so I just wondered if there might be some kind of vague semi-continuity going on. From what I've read/heard, I don't think WaW would be something you NEED to get in order to understand what's going on. It's not like Modern Warfare where the story continues and there are a lot of tie-ins, as I'm sure the Black Ops are more of just cameos and perhaps vague references that don't affect the overall story. In short, pick it up if it's cheap(or renting it would be better if you just want the story), but I doubt it's going to have a big difference in terms of your understanding and enjoyment of Black Ops storyline.

Yeah, I'm going to be done after this season, feels like way too much of a chore just to play a game.

You need 50, which was definitely time consuming.

Woo! Finally got that damned Star Bottle Cap quest out of the way. Now to just install some weapon mods, do some energy weapons, and finish the NCR side of the main quest so I can start on my melee/explosive/pickpocket/Legion/evil playthrough for achievements. EDIT: Well...fuck. My save just got corrupted, thankfully I was playing on an auto-save so it didn't corrupt the main file :/

Been talking about it in the Xbox thread a lot, but regardless, going to be a killer game regardless of platform. I just hope that for once UPS and Amazon don't screw me over with a big release this year.

Before the patch, in the entire week I played it, I had 2 freezes total. Now? I can't get through one night without 5 or 6 freezes. Thankfully Bethesda is working on a comprehensive patch for all 3 systems though.

There was the Gamestop pre-order bonus, and The Doors the very first week as an entire album. This past Tuesday it was The Doors again, just as individual tracks. This Tuesday, another greatest of is released for Bon Jovi, including the songs from 1, 2, and DLC released before. Which sucks if you already have them but wanna get the keys/pro-keys/harmony versions of them.

Nothing to do with losing it's value, at least in the case with Metallica and Sound Garden. Metallica agreed to release DLC, Enter Sandman, and Battery before Guitar Hero agreed to GH:Metallica. That's why Enter Sandman wasn't exportable, and Battery isn't now.

Agreed, I'm at level 28 and I still have a lot of quests to do. I'm not even that far on the story quests!
