So the rumors that Microsoft will be rewarding high gamertag scores are true. Sort of.

For every 10k points you get 1% off buying things.

For most of you this will be about... 1-2%

grats?

[Ruki]

I think I will get 6.7% off?

Not bad, I think.

Edit: Apparently I just got 200 points for re-newing my year long subscription. Cool!

I have 1080 to spend now.

There's a cap on how much you get - there are only three levels. On the first level, you get a birthday gift - second level is that, plus 1% back and third level (which most of us will probably qualify for) is Larry Zbyszko - which is gift plus 2%.

Say I bought a 3 month sub for gold at a Canadian retailer, could I give said code to my American friend so we can Borderlands?

I want to play Hitman with Ruki real bad.

Dragon's Dogma is a kickass game that deserves far more praise than it has received. It really feels like an adventure. Although there is a rather steep learning curve to the way the game works, once you get into it - the whole thing is absolutely amazing. Travelling by day and by night are truly two separate beasts. I spent all of last night on an escort side mission that was actually fun. We started in the morning and traveled the countryside - fighting wolves and bandits which was nothing big for my party of four. Then as night started to fall, I found an abandoned campsite and I was going to stick it out there knowing what night could be like - but as I got closer to the tents I found out it was a trap from shape changing Saurian lizards and had to move on in the dark. We fought through the undead near an abandoned cathedral and seemed to be on our way - when all of a sudden a giant ogre appeared in the road. My party retreated and we decided to go around the monster, happening upon a group of bandits in the forest who nearly took us down. I thought I had it made and had gone around the giant, but we ended up in a blocked off valley with a Chimera and although we ran - it ended up eating the person that I was trying to escort and killing one of my pawns.

So basically I spent over an hour failing a mission and it was super god damn fun,

Tomorrow, Dishonored! Can't wait! Possibly the best stealth game to come out in a long, long while.
