I'll probably get XBL soon, logitech just released this wireless connecter that makes hooking the 360 to a far away router easy

Jags and I have a session of XML2 that we still haven't finished, or else I'd be online with the 360 now, although I have to admit I've been tempted to switch over anyway. Damn internet loyalties!!!

Is your "spin-o-rama" button shared with the "switch player" when on defense?

Nope, it's purely controlled by the skill stick.

I'm not sure what the heck EA was thinking with their default control scheme.

 

They ended up putting the default shoot buttons on the right shoulder, and while they have pass on the right analog stick which can be nice, the pass button is on the left shoulder. But the switch player while on defense is still button 2 ('X' on a PS2 controller), which while on offense is spin-o-rama. And the old school mainstays for slapshot and wrist shot have been replaced by dive and block pass/shot. I should be able to fix the controls to put shoot back, but the defensive switch player is permanently bound to spin-o-rama.

 

Boo-urns.

I think I may have to pass on Company of Heroes at least until I get a new graphics card. Playing through that demo again I was experiencing massive lag this time after I had three times as many units on screen all firing and throwing up clouds of dust.

 

I can hear my poor 9600 Pro crying as it struggles to output more than a single frame per second judging by how much of a slideshow my defence of the church became. Several stugs dueling with my AT guns throws up an awful lot of dust that my card just can't handle.

 

It took me 30 clicks to finally select one of my troops because the game wasn't responding.

I'm dying to play Dark Crusade, but right now I'm playing as Dyfeint in Arthurian:Total War, which would nowadays probably be called Western Wales.

Once I finish Dead Rising, I'll pick up NHL 07. Then Lego Star Wars II...And then the long wait till Medal of Honor:Airborne and Brothers in Arms 3, which looks stunning by the way.

Can you really "finish" dead rising though?

 

I mean how can one get bored with killing zombies in a mall with 2000 different items? :D

Hey! Zombies were people, too!

 

I think your zombie-bigotry is going too far, Darque. You are a rabid zombist. A zombophobe!

Lego Star Wars 2, Neverwinter Nights Diamond and Legend of Kay.

Bloodlines I guess. Finish my Brujah game.

I'm a zombie killing machine in a STARS uniform.

After playing about forty or so games in the last few days of EAs' NHL 07 I've decided to restart my season with a few of the rookies from this season. Plus I've increased the length of periods to ten minutes from five. That gives my created defenceman, who was 14-17-31 in 42 games a better chance at cracking the leader board for defencemen throughout the league ( which incidentally is an absolute pain in the ass to get to ) . I want the Norris trophy too, dammit!

My co-workers are playing Oblivion at work right now....so my Urge to play oblivion is rising!

Don't fight it.

 

And when you play, make sure to use lightning. :ph34r:

I just picked up Civ 4 Warlords so I'll be playing that as soon as I install it.

I've historically been partial to the beefy tank, but my previous attempt at the game (which was cut short because of me getting a new computer) as primarily a theif was good fun!

 

Decisions decisions.

 

Considering I won't have internet at home until Friday, it seem more likely every moment!

Dungeon Siege 2 (not as poor as I expected it might be - not great, but still fun enough)

Dawn of War + Winter Assault

Get a lightning sword or bow then :ph34r:

 

Trust me, hitting things with lightning in all it's forms is pure comedy. "

No fire?

I think I did have a lighting bow. I got it from a Vampire (who was level 5 )

Fire doesn't make enemies do flipflops or send them flying through the air 50 feet over your shoulder. "

 

Not to mention almost ALL of the Oblivion monsters are vulnerable to lightning for some reason. <_<

Sounds electrifying.

It's great fun, especially when they go bouncing around the room. (w00t)
