Yeah fuck that shit getting to oxford road for national express is bad enough at 1pm, yet alone 9.30 half-way across brum.

pssssssh.

What a crock of shite, that serves me right for preordering from a shitty website that have already processed my order for £40.

i assume everyone's aware sainsburys are selling MW2 for £26

How much is that costing you? It only cost me £10 to get a return from birmingham on the bus!

What buses are you getting and I'll buddy up with you

Rest assured that while it may sound like a completley wanky decision, it was made by a bunch of people who are paid to make this kind of decision. We are not those people.

No, I don't agree with the decision. I think it's totally missing the point and I'd much rather they improve console online play to meet the PC rather than vice versa, but it's not like they just flipped a coin and shrugged their shoulders and logged onto twitter and told the world that we were sucking their dick for shit all. This wouldn't have been a decision they took lightly. Clearly we're just all wankers that don't deserve shit from them.

Awesome, might have a quick game later if I'm feeling it. :D

2/3rds of the way down the page

If that's okay, then type about:config in your URL. Type 'cookies' in the filter and go to "privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies" and set that to "False" and see if that does anything.

Okay, privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies was set to true, so I changed it to false, and it's still doing it. privacy.cpd.cookies I also changed to false.

It's not one of the standard options in tools thats the problem.

IDK.

Oh and also windows did have an update the other day so that may be the reason why.

That could be a problem. I don't know what an XML file is.

Ok I just had a look at excel and I can use the "save as type" menu to create either "XML Data" or "XML Spreadsheet 2003" so hopefully we can do this.

Yeah. XML Data should be fine. I don't have excel on this PC so I cant see what it may ask you but I'm sure you'll figure it out or something. Add me on MSN. Ask someone else for my MSN or something.

I'm using Windows 7, and Firefox 3.5.4.... To my knowledge I haven't changed any settings in firefox since yesterday, but today it's clearing my cookies every time I close the browser.

And yes, I've checked to make sure that "clear history when browser closes" in the options menu is disabled. It's disabled.

:\

My history and saved passwords and things are being kept though. Just cookies are going.

I could easily pull the new data from xbox.com every week and put it into a spreadsheet for you. Anyway, let me know if you have any more thoughts.

If you can export it as an XML file, then it shouldn't be too hard for me to knock up a script for it.

Anyway, the problem with the code isn't something I have any control over.

The problem lies in the code being used to pull the XBL data. It's not something I or khol created. Basically you supply a gamertag and it returns a neatly formatted, easy-to-use file containing lots of information about that user.

However, here's a sample link.

I figured if I was going to do it I'd do it properly. Took me between 7 and 8 hours but if everyone's happy it's worth it. Big thanks to everyone who's praised the new leaderboard or thanked me.

Regarding your problem, I have an idea. Pulling everybody's new gamerscore off Xbox.com was probably the quickest part of the job for me, only taking about an hour to get everyone's info. If I did that part manually every week and sent you the data could you put it into your script and run the update as normal? If that's possible I'd be happy to do it every week.

I'd have to see, I'm inundated with work at the moment so any tinkering with code would have to wait, but it'd be a nice idea, and in fact it ties in very neatly with what I've been doing recently in uni so would be good for me too.

I'll think about it.

Sushi, you are amazing, I can't express how impressed I am with your dedication. You even put the links in!

What?

If you don't want as many new additions you might as well stick with CoD4. The whole point of it being a new full-price game is that it brings new things to the series.

Got a few Gs from Forza 3, it's pretty swell.

You'll need more than a rent if you intend to finish it.

I rent from lovefilm, no due dates or deadlines ftw.

Got another few Gs in Brutal Legend, 75G for finally getting round to finishing the campaign, then another 100G or so for a few things like riding the boar into the sea of black tears, finding all the shops, etc.

Looks hilarious.

Hey so anyway a dodgy battery spilled acid all over my mouse and now it doesn't want to work, any suggestions of budget wirelss mice?

You still not on chip & pin over there? It's the way forwards.

A few guitar hero tshirts, an inflatable guitar, a £15 itunes voucher, a giant foam hand, and a £5 bar tab.

But that was just a heat, there'll be more over the next weeks and the finals will be for festival tickets.
