The official I Love Games XBOX 360 and XBOX LIVE thread!

Here's my dumb avatar:

I've added you newbs. Do I have you on my list Mordy? I'd be up for some GTA, haven't played for months.

Mine:

Slightly embarrassed by how idealised it looks, really. I'd like to make it a bit more realistically chubby and stubbly and 32, but it doesn't really give you the option.

Also, with I could have that jumper without that gold chain. But hey.

Jim, my SN is Shinefield

Ah cool, got you then. I'll try to get on for a game or two tonight.

Why is it that 80% of Live users have this really annoying, nasally, 13 year old voice?

Because 80% of Live users are really annoying, nasally 13 year old boys.

anyone else picking up left4dead on 360?

I'm gonna, yep.

pants not actually that tight ^

shit, Pure is already on clearance at Target? Well, at least maybe it'll sell at that price. My two fav games of the year, Pure and Civ:Rev, are both on clearance at Target now (bought Civ:Rev for my bro for $30 last week).

I bought Kingdom of Keflings last night and am loving it; it's basically Warcraft without war, which sounds awesome to me! If you love micromanagement of resources and construction, you'll love this---it's blissful OCDing, esp. for someone whose cash job isn't micromanagement of resources and construction.

Bought L4D last night and had a lot of fun playing it with my neighbor. Good times!

Not so very far off; a lot closer than my mii!

hey nerds, I think I just added like every name on this thread ^___^ so if you get a request from "tehdead" it isn't some hippie grateful dead fan, it is some boring indie fan!

This is what I looked like in 1996. They should add a slider to customize beard length.

Looks nothing like me but the mustache is tight.

yeah I love observing how people choose their avatars: to look like them or not? I want a character that *I* like to look at it, so I almost always play games as a woman. I tend to separate how my character looks from how they act, though; I guess I do that irl too. But I can see wanting to present yourself through your avatar; from what people are saying here, that sounds like the predominant way of choosing.

Looks like me and Will Forte.

was somewhat sobered by the fact that the "tired wrinkles" really were a make it/break it option for this to look like me ;_;

I tried to make mine look like me, still not sure what they're good for though, might modify if I have to look at that scrawny butt all the time

bleach your hair orange and you'll look like Conan O'Brien

My avatar doesn't really look too much like me

http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/Brilliam/avatar-body.png

howver, my gamer picture that i took with it, which is just my avatar from the bridge of the nose up, LOOKS SERIOUSLY SO MUCH LIKE ME

http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/Brilliam/avatarpic-l.png

when i get a hcance i will take a photo of myself from the bridge of the nose up for comparison

http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/cozeny/avatar-body.png

i just added a bunch of you, if you're wondering who powerstrikelol is...

http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/Shinefield/avatar-body.png

Me! Kinda. :/

my avatar looks preecisely 0 like me, even though I tried to make it so.

A quick question - are 360 games region free? or should I not snap up bargains when I'm in NYC over Xmas?

It varies title to title, annoyingly. But yeah, plenty of US games will work in the UK.

Overly complex compatibility list here.

cheers Jim, nice one

WHY DO THE HANDS START AT BASICALLY THE ELBOWS is my question.

Do I understand that the dboard update REMOVES divx functionality? What the fuck?

there was divx functionality???

i GAVE AWAY my fucking dvd player with a usb-in for divx because I was using the xbox instead. Do I have to choose whether I can play on XBL and get DLC or whether I can use my xbox to watch divxes? What kind of crap is this

what?? I gotta try that right now

Divx still works. I just needed to re-download the codec pack.

Re-download from where?

doesn't it just automatically download when you try to play a divx?

it did for me

so is it impossible to activate streaming netflix if you only have 1 internet connection? I have to take the line from my computer if I want to use xboxlive.

1) get activation code from xbox. disconnect box.
2) connect computer, get on netflix, put in code
3) no work :(

do I have to finally buy a little hub or steal wireless?

Do you not have a router?

bnw, is your computer near your xbox? there might be some way to share yr computer's internet connection w/the xbox, depending on ports and cables and stuff obv

You could get a friend to put in your code for you.
I'll do it if you want.

your computer doesn't do wireless? you should be able to set up your PC as an access point

I got it to work via borrowed wireless. I guess I should buy a router.

You really should. Streaming movies and itunes wireless from my mac to the xbox is like something from the future

Wish I could do it from Linux. Appaz there's no way to get the 360 to pick up any of the various Linux tools, unless I'm just looking in the wrong places.

i've been using http://www.nullriver.com/products/connect360 to play movies from my mac.
