Well, that's good, at least. I'll probably have to get back into Rock Band again anyway, though.

Well that are currently 4 people in this thread that play it, though at the moment I can only play guitar/bass, but hey we could always get a band together some time.

Me, Kunera, ShadowWest and Dromedary, I think there might be one or two other's who'd be down for playing though

I'm sorry Snuff

That's Bioshock beaten. Not as bad a game as I remember. Not that I ever thought it was a bad game, I guess I just struggled to get into it. Definitely don't rate it as highly as a lot of people seem to either. Still, at least that another game I can check off my list. Might move onto Bioshock 2 now or maybe play something totally different.

how long did it take you to complete it? i've tried to playthrough it twice but i got so bored about 2 hours in each time, had a lot more fun playing bioshock 2.

also snuff, fantastic job with Alive, it inspired me to finally FC that solo! anyway, this feels a bit dickish now so i'm going to stop... for now at least.

I never kept track of the time and I didn't see a stat anywhere that gave me my playtime. I beat it in two sittings so I'm going to assume it was somewhere in the region of 10 hours. I did feel like I was mostly just playing it to beat it though. It held my attention but I wasn't super into it. I was just fed up if it sitting on my shelf unbeaten.

Still have the following Xbox 360 games sitting around that I've not beaten yet. Although in some, I made considerable progress and then abandoned for some reason:

Alpha Protocol
Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
Bioshock 2
Blue Dragon
Call of Duty 3
Darksiders II
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition
Fallout: New Vegas
Guitar Hero 2
Infinite Undiscovery
Lost Odyssey
Skate
Star Ocean: The Last Hope
Tales of Vesperia
Two Worlds II

Ah I'll give you that one. I was about to FC it but then I slipped up somewhere in the solo, I have a bad habit of choking at the end of songs.

Also I have a bunch of these from mine and oliver's rivalry days before he decided he hated me

I have these to finish off too. I actually got Two Worlds II from my mate in a license transfer a while back, it has online co-op apparently so he wants to get it done when he has enough spare time to do so. I'm pretty stubborn about Fallout: NV, it's not a bad game by any means, but it's inferior to FO3 in every way and as such I cannot be arsed to ever get back to playing it.

I wouldn't agree with this, I definitely think FO3 is better but NV had some great features that made it better than FO3 in certain aspects.

I've reversed choked both SelkiesL The Endless Obsession and Poison Was The Cure. PWTC was particularly painful because Megadeth FCs are very difficult to achieve (well, aside from A Toute Le Monde).

holy hell, I barely have enough stamina to get through Caught in a Mosh comfortably, what other pics do you have?

I sort of have to agree with ShadowWest on the Fallout NV thing. I played the shit out of Fallout 3 and I think that made me want something a bit different from Fallout New Vegas. What we got though was pretty much the same game with a different setting. I know they added the odd new thing to the game but it was never enough to keep me interested. I do want to play through it at some time but even years after beating Fallout 3, I still don't feel ready for New Vegas. I think I've made three attempts to play it and got bored every time. Which is kinda odd because in Fallout 3 I'd spent hours just roaming the map looking for new stuff.

I have a few, though I thought I had more. It's a nice reminder that I was once very good at it, I highly doubt I'd be able to gold star half of these songs anymore.

also i was always fond of this picture

Those scores are crazy! It does makes me kinda sad though because I really want to get back to playing drums now, but my friend couldn't find that extra pedal for me so I guess I'm going to have to find and buy one.

Also I have been dethroned from my number 1 spot on Are We The Waiting/St Jimmy on guitar :(

If we did, I can do guitar/bass, and vocals fairly decently.

I'm down for some full band action, I don't mind switching between guitar and bass, or even keys and pro keys if I felt like it, until I get my drums sorted.

Got 50g from Crackdown, forgot how fun the game is, makes me want to get Crackdown 2 too, although SC Blacklist and GTA V are right around the corner...

Since I pre-ordered it before I quit my job I don't think I'll actually be getting it. They only charge you when they dispatch it and I probably won't have the money in my account in time for it's release. Unless I can get a job this month, which seems unlikely despite the amount I've applied for.

Turns out the funds for the college course I didn't get onto got returned into my account so I know have £40 sitting on the card which the pre-order (for £39.99) is on. It's for my ID technically but I'd much rather just wait it out until christmas and get GTA V while I have the opportunity, so it looks like I'll be getting it for release afterall.

Bought Mega Man 9 earlier this week on a whim; completed it in a few days. Also finished up the new Bioshock Infinite DLC yesterday. Really can't wait for the story DLC they announced for it.

The civilians in the Volk area of Crackdown 1 are quite a bunch of badasses. Not only have they killed Volk members and taken their guns to fight more of the gang, they even stood up to me when I accidentally'd one guy running out of a warehouse towards me. Right now, I'm being slapped by two civilians while a few more are standing outside of the warehouse I took cover in, waiting with belt-fed machine guns.

These ballsy yet suicidal motherfuckers... I respect them.

Episode 2 of AC3 Tyranny of King Washington completed today, will start episode 3 tomorrow.

I was hoping to get some G from Fallout 3 but gfwl just doesn't work. Good job, microsoft, you really succeeded in reviving PC gaming by crippling them with software that does fuck all.

Don't get everyone feeling all nostalgic again. I still miss those days :(

I was never really someone who gave much of a shit about GamerScore but I sort of started caring even less about getting achievements when I realised it'd be unlikely that I'd be getting the Xbox One.

Well I started Crackdown yesterday and still found myself trying to get achievements so I guess it's not all gone. The game sucks though.

I didn't mind Crackdown. I remember getting it pretty cheap back when it was still considered a newish release. Most people only bought Crackdown back then because it came with a code that let you get access to the Halo 3 multiplayer beta. They'd use the code then trade it back in. I actually bought it to play it though and I didn't think it was so bad back then. It was a bit heavy on the orb collecting though and I guess if I were to go back and play it now, I wouldn't be too impressed. Never played the second game.

I really really enjoyed Crackdown back when it was released, I played the second one a while back and was really disappointed.

Forgot about Crackdown being free. Got it downloading now!

Enjoyed the game when I bought it ages ago and i'm guessing it's going to be just as fun now when I play it with a couple of other people.

Now that i'm back from my holiday I think i'll get around the playing the Bioshock DLC as well and might actually start on playing some arcade games so I can finish them and then delete them to free up HDD space.
