Downloaded the costume pack 1 and 2, desperate escape, lost in nightmares and extra figures yesterday. These cost me 1020 points, or £8.67, leaving me with a not so round points balance. Although I have yet to play the campaign episodes, I can safely say that Mercenaries Reunion is absolutely amazing. Barry Sandwich, anyone?

I now understand why the repair service was so quick; they sent me a new console. It’s the same model (premium, B) but with quieter fans and a different optical tray that opens a lot faster and is much, much quieter. It’s nice that they included a free one month XBox Live! membership card, but they messed up with my licence transfers. Re-downloading my stuff, as it says here, did not remedy my situation. I checked the licence transfer process page and all 311 of my licences were still assigned to my old console. Oh joy. It took about five minutes to transfer the licences and re-download the content keys (the web download history page is a godsend). All in all, things could have been much worse.
Just checked my repair status for my XBox 360. I only sent it off last Wednesday, but they’ve skipped phases 2 (received) and 3 (repaired/replaced) on the repair status list; phase 4 means it’s being returned. Damn, they do work fast at Frankfurt. Continue reading ‘XBox 360 repaired, returning soon.’
Quite simply, lol. Yeah, it’s resolved now, but not through any intervention by Sony; we all know a firmware update would probably have made things worse.

I compiled a soundtrack a few days ago; it’s on the usual place. Y’know, that bay full of pirates.
Yes, the game is full of win and perhaps the best crossover game yet, but it’s not going to knock Marvel vs Capcom 2 out yet, too many people have played that game already.
What are you waiting for, go grab that soundtrack!
Upon joining and dying in a Multiplay.co.uk 2Fort server, I was awarded with about 14 weapons, of which about 5 were unique. I now have all the unlockable weapons (excluding the Gunboats); I now need to focus my attention on getting some hats, either through crafting or (shock!) idling. And no, idling was not responsible for my remarkable weapon unlocks. It may have had something to do with the fact that I used an artificial method of unlocking all achievements. However, when this initially didn’t work I reverted my 100% achievement status back to my legitimate achievement status. The game then awarded me the weapons because it thought it owed them to me. Does it really matter though?
Every 15,430 seconds (4 hours, 17 minutes, and 10 seconds) you have a 3.5714% chance of receiving a hat. (source)
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that I’ve yet to encounter a hat; the Ghastly Gibus (A.K.A Poor Man’s Hat) doesn’t count.
Not that Infinity Ward or their publisher does support the idea, but:
1) Pin/hold SEMTEX whilst holding Javelin
2) Switch back to Javelin, holding SEMTEX; then release RB/R1
3) Get shot
4) Explode
5) ?????
And I’m sure you know the rest of the meme.
Now isn’t that in some rhetorical way supporting the notion of suicide bombing? I mean, you strap an explosive to yourself (sort of) and then wait to be killed, causing the deaths of others. This is a good way of getting kills, so I hear, but the bottom line is: Modern Warfare 2 is subliminally recruiting suicide bombers. Shock! Also, you get banned…
I couldn’t be bothered to have 200 or so balls flying about my server only to have to manually track and eat them up. So, I made a script…

In my quest to complete all of the Garry’s Mod Achievements I came across the “Menu User” achievement. Naturally, I couldn’t be bothered to sit around and tap the Q key 100,000 times. So, I made a script…
