joc, sorry I couldn't make your GoW2 invite.

Haltz... awesome news! What game(s) are you planing to get?

I really have no idea. I'll look into MLB 2k8, and probably buy the new Call of Duty for sure. I tried to rent GOW2 tonight, but the Blockbuster I was at just had one copy which was out, and a terrible selection otherwise. So for the time being I'm chopping up hookers to the tune of Five Leaves Left. I've never really messed around with a 360 other than actually playing games -- some of the other functionality is pretty cool.

It was kind of a fluke that I picked this up. A friend of mine in Columbia owed me some money from a couple of years ago and just gave me his second 360 instead when I was down there yesterday. I hope I don't get RROD'd.

You should rent GoW1, then get GoW2.

If you hadn't noticed, I'm a total GoW fanboy. It's embarrassing.

whats the farthest you've gotten in horde? i just got level 19 but we died....i really wanted to get to 20

On casual I beat it (50 levels). 38 on normal. Security is the best map, because newer players will intuitively know to "camp out", which is the only way to go deep into hoard.

edit - "day one" is the my favorite map with experienced players.

What happens when an XBox dies? Does it go to heaven? A landfill? Sunday brunch for mimosas? Whatever the case, this is a picture of an XBox 360's funeral. As you can see, many friends from yesteryear came to pay their respects. This picture is actually just one in a series of the funeral, so you should go here http://www.gamespot.com/users/tiggerboy ... 0-25578816 to see them all, along with some words that were written about the event.

Bourne Conspiracy is pretty fun despite a couple of big flaws. The shooting sucks, and as cool as the hand-to-hand stuff is at first, by the time you smash someone's face into a copy machine the second time, it gets old. The sound is terrific and I like it visually though. The story line is also pretty good, incorporating a bunch of stuff from the movie so far.
