When my friend's 360 crapped out and he exchanged it for a new one, he swapped the HD. With his original HD on the new system, he was still able to play his Xbox Live Arcade games without logging on to Xbox Live.Quote:

Jetpac is awesome.
I liked it a lot. It's simple, arcadey fun that's worth the 400 points. It's definitely not for everyone, but it's not a bad game by any means.
I'm having a lot of fun with it. Broke the top 100 in retro.
Holy crap, Arjue, you really don't like it?
I think it's one of the best multiplayer games on XBLA easily, but the one player is addictive. I think this is a really solid little game, and I'd love to play online with some of you. I threw down with bvork a few times, it was awesome.
I sucked ass the first time. I'm getting better - and I broke the top 100 in the Refuelled leaderboard.
i only played the demo, and I thought it was fucking boring and felt awkward. I may be wrong if the game gets awesome later on or something.
change to the third control scheme also.
I have a hard time believing you.Quote:

Not to mention the way the bonus items get lost on the background as well. It's a lot of fun, I just wish they'd applied basic color design, and made it so the zooming in and out worked farther away from the screen's edge.

Lies. I am the uncontested king at Retro, and only Joust Williams appears to be above me in the refuelled leaderboard. Add my friend request and quake in fear at my score.Quote:

That's pretty sad.
I got Jetpac, fun little game. Refueled looks great too.
I don't think I like it.
Hey guys, in SOTN, how the hell is that Wing Smash performed? Do I need something else besides the Soul of Bat?
Yeah, the thing that makes you shoot fireballs I think.
Hold jump, do a 3/4 circle motion top-back-down-forward, let go of jump.Quote:

The wolf's bite requires the power of wolf.
The bat's charge requires a non-shitty d-pad.
I had no problem doing it on the 360 pad.
Now, that down-up jump boost for Al and Richter, that's another story.
The super jump is cake.
More often than not, sure, but I need it working 100% of the time.
This week's game is Luxor 2.

Right?
When it comes to puzzlers, there's a new acronym:
NPQDC = Not Puzzle Quest Don't Care
No, NTADC (Tetris Attack) is still the acronym to beat.

I've never even heard of Luxor 2.
Guess I'll check out the demo.
Jet Cat imo.
So Luxor 2 is the same shoot a ball at a group of advancing balls game we've all seen a million times.
Pass.

I'm now convinced that SOTN has possibly got the best level design in a game ever.
I got Luxor 2. I don't expect anyone but me will like it.
I wish I could trade in some of my old arcade games. I don't think I'll ever play Novadrome again.
New PDA levels are out for Alien Hominid. 150points I think.
I saw this coming.Quote:

Have they fixed the glitch where you can't collect 2 of the hats? I'd like to get the last 20 gamerscore for Hominid.Quote:

Japs.
I'm not Japanese and I thought of that on my own.
Also, how's Castlevania treating you?
It sucks.
lol
Good man.Quote:

LOL @ Razor.
I did it, bitch. After, of course, considering selling my 360 on eBay because I just couldn't take it anymore. I have no patience.
sotn questions:
1) how do i invert this nigga?
2) I have filled out all of the map aside from where you fight richter and the 2 squares behind him, yet there appears to be a door towards the top right of the castle I can't get through. wtf?
3) I have only got 1 spell, is this right?
You need the holy glasses, which to get you need the gold and silver rings. Wear the rings in the clock room to drop down and get the glasses. Then fight Richter. That will take you to the inverted castle.Quote:

You just have to do the spells on accident (or know how to do them), and then the names + button combinations will automatically be recorded in your list.Quote:

I would have done the same thing arjue had one of my friends not let me know about beating Richter before getting the holy glasses.

Yep, no reason to ever start over unless you want the luck code or to see one of the lesser endings if you've gone too far.Quote:

My guess is Wednesday. I will have an official announcement on Monday.Quote:
Any word on a release date yet?
What's Boom Boom Rocket?
Sounds like a sex position imo.
Here's all you need to know about Boom Boom Rocket: it's from the same dudes that made Geometry Wars.
Boom Boom Rocket is a music rhythm game where you light of fireworks in time to techno-classical music. It's looking pretty sharp, but worth getting excited for? Button-tapping to the beat but with style, your milage may vary, etc. I'm snagging it, definitely.
Guy playing it blindfold. It shows off how the game is physically played with the controller as well as demos the music.

So it's like stepmania for the 360. Interesting.
I'll get that for 400 points.
Too bad they want 800 points for it.Quote:

I guess it's too much to ask for a mere Live Arcade game, but that type of experience really works better with an input device other than the system's standard gamepad; it's a shame they couldn't make it compatible with something else like the DDR mat or the Live Vision camera.
800? grrr.
Original games at $5 are going to be exceptionally rare on XBLA; that's Microsoft's decision as they control the pricing on everything on XBLM.
Well that probably kills 400 points for Space Giraffe then. Part of the Llamasoft plan was to get it out there cheap and in as many hands as possible, as a reintroduction to a gaming studio that hasn't put anything in the public's eye for over a decade.

uuuhhh cool?Quote:

Is Boom Boom really coming out this week? That shit looks awesome.
It's 8PM Monday evening. You'd think we'd have some idea of Wednesday's release by now.
James
Boom Boom looks awesome.
Quake 3? I'm all over that shit.
This Wednesday they're releasing something only Korly would like.
