No kidding... Mechassault and Unreal should be nice.

Damn I hope someone actually reads this post since this thread is so long anyways...alright I am planning on getting using Roadrunner for live, and I was just wondering if anyone uses it and if there have been any problems, and if you suggest I use a Router or just directly connect, which is what I was going to do since my XBox and PC are so close.

I just started to play Moto GP a decent amount. I just got a 2nd place and damn that was some work. Hey Ethugg, I got your invite and I accepted. I look forward to seeing you on. I haven't played Fever much anymore, it's just ok. I will be looking for everyone this week online.

How do we play against friends? I go to friends, in MGP, and it just lets me delete them or whatever. I can't figure this thing out! it's doomed if a regular Joe like me is confused!

[Glass Joe]

I feel your pain. I was seeing the same thing. I think if one of your friends is online it will let you speak to them. Are you going to be on tonight?

Nigel, nice racing against you last night (not that I saw you during the race, but...). Some doofus named Clooney and his guests were ramming people off the road. After that game, I got disconnected, and couldn't join back up to that particular session due to "network problems." (Meanwhile, I played in 2 other races without a problem).

The friends list works like this right now (there is always a chance it will improve, but not yet): If you get a friend invite, it will show at the top of the list. Otherwise, only friends who are on and playing will show up at the top of the list. Otherwise, you have an alphabetical list of your friends, and their status will show as "Offline." The only thing you can do to a friend when they are offline is delete them from your friends list. Btw, Ethugg, I accepted you invite. Oh, and the only way you can currently speak to a friend is when you're in a game lobby (waiting for a race) together or actually playing each other.

Master, you need to play MotoGP at least once so you show up on the scoreboards. Oh, and Nigel/eMFer, play the credits mini-shooter too. That can boost your rankings slightly. At the very least, try and beat me and Ethugg (just watch the credits, then play the mini game after them. Hold down on the d-pad to fast forward the credits). Last night I was ranked 135th on the credits shooter.

We need to get a TNL clan going in Mech Assault when it comes out.
Once some more people get on, we need to try and schedule some "friends only" games of Revolt, MotoGP, and Whacked.

[Glass Joe]

yeah, it was cool to finally play against someone from the TNL boards but you were gone as fast as I saw you. I will try the shooter thing after the credits. I'll catch you guys on later.

How do you unlock the other tracks? I have MotoGP (burned), but it has a seperate save. Does it read a regular GP save to know what's unlocked?

And how do you play that other mini-game (not the credits one)?


PS: Whacked reeeeaaaallly sucks ass.

I won't say it's a masterpiece, or even on the level of Crash Bash, but it isn't that bad, IMO. I'd play the demo, but I wouldn't buy the game. Charity is annoying as hell though. I haven't tried it multi-player yet though.

Has everyone (Beta Testers, that is) hit the link that MS sent out to update your shipping info? They are supposed to be sending out the final kits this week, I believe.

Credits? Mini games? WTF?
