the quick fix didnt work. uninstalling, exiting steam, deleting folder, open steam, reinstall. It actually looks like its installing this time. Weird.

Yeah, my Xbox works every time. Just by putting the disk in and turning it on. Every time.

Until it red rings because a single component has broken in which case I'd just buy a new part for my PC.

Fixed that for ya.

Ah, but a new Xbox can be had for less than the cost of that componant. Also, I've had my Xbox (post-red ring of death fix build) longer than I've had any computer ever last.

I can do this all day.

New style Xbox doesn't Red Ring anymore. They fixed that.

Yeah, the Xbox 360 is old as hell right now. Consoles are going to make up a lot of ground this year, though, as the next generation of consoles will be much more powerful.

Also, in case it wasn't clear, I'm just joshing you PC guys. I prefer consoles because you don't have to fiddle with them. Obviously some don't mind a little fiddling, to get more power and customization options. It's all a matter of taste. Anyone who gets offended by the way another person chooses to play video games has got some issues.

The console itself is worth it, £60 memory cards not so much. I got mine(barely) used at half price with a couple of games and 8 GB though, it's quite an impressive device. It plays PSP and PSX games as well, which definitely makes it worth it for me. Now I'm just hoping for an exploit that'll let me install a SNES and N64 emulator.

So I got my third ban from League of Legends. Another 1 week ban. I get too involved in ranked games; need to calm down or I'll get perma-banned. I try to take it easy, but for some reason while I'm not competitive in life generally, I'm ultra-competitive in some video games. I'm also pretty good, which means, in serious games, people who aren't skilled and throw games annoy me. It's a character flaw that I need to deal with.

Well Ok that's about enough unnecessary sharing.

On the bright side I got a smurf account up to lvl 10 today and unlocked Draven. What a fun character to play. I won many games.

I thought of you when I saw this:

I think you just summed up why I got banned.

yep. They are trying to kill themselves. If they do this I wont get an xbox, and will just buy all my games via steam sales.

Btw feanor, pc aliens has a worse review score than the other versions, and the graphics for that are being slated as well when compared to other new releases.
This is from the most positive review on metacritic!
"It actually feels like a product out of time; one of those scrappy FPS games mid-tier publishers could boot out between Triple-A titles back in the day, when Metacritic didn't exist and a studio wasn't shut down if the game they made failed to sell a bajillion copies."

wow, stunning endorsement "it feels like an old shit game"

Athiuen, you are what puts me off trying league and dota!

Just remember that I only get like that in competitive ranked games when team-mates are just awful. And I mean truly awful, like trying to be awful awful. . In normal and custom games I play more for fun and for trying new characters. Just don't play ranked until you're good at the game.

Finlay · « **Reply #3768 on:** February 13, 2013, 11:13:40 AM »

Well, I’d never play ranked, so that’s ok then!

Apparently aliens has only 2 multiplayer maps, and then you have to buy more. Lolno.

Cannonofdoom · « **Reply #3769 on:** February 13, 2013, 11:38:58 AM »

Don't play ranked if you want to have any fun ...

Fandir Nightshade · « **Reply #3770 on:** February 13, 2013, 02:40:00 PM »

It is never ok to be impolite or rude during online games. Especially not during ranked games. Sarcastic...yes. Rude...no.

there are more than 2. Ive played on at least 5 different ones last night. I do notice that some game hosts prefer a couple of maps over others. Maybe xbox got screwed over? Me and thundercake played co-op campaign and then some multiplayer extermination after wards. I had a blast! The only problem I ran into was in co-op I fell through the universe because I didnt get through a door in time. Launch bugs happen though and I just respawned a little later. I honestly do not see where all this hate is coming from for the game. Then again perhaps console got the shaft, and without any lube.

Maybe you missed it because there's been a lot of posting.

pc metacritic: 44
xbox metacritic: 50.

Feanor Fire Heart · « **Reply #3773 on:** February 13, 2013, 04:40:33 PM »

again I have no idea where all this hate is. Perhaps people were expecting more? I dunno. I like it and I think its fun.

Finlay · « **Reply #3774 on:** February 13, 2013, 04:43:15 PM »

A lot of people are saying “it’s a fun bug hunt, nothing innovative 7/10”
I guess people got hyped up a lot and then it’s more disappointing.

As tempted as I was to try it, complete coop campaign and do some MP, I have sent it back. Will try it this weekend at home with my brother, and if I like it I’ll get it later.
