The Final Dakar · Oct 16, 2009, 09:40 AM

Fatty doesn't have the game. But yes, I was going to post later to ask everyone what the they were doing tonight.

klb5090 · Oct 16, 2009, 10:13 AM

I know I was just looking for a reply , he is MIA, maybe POW.
I have tickets to the pens tomorrow but I'll be on from 7 to 12 to tonight , let's knock off this legendary campaign and vidmaster junk , what time you getting on Dakar?

The Final Dakar · Oct 16, 2009, 10:16 AM

You tell me. I should probably take a nap.

I think sek is doing all his gaming on his iMac right now.

klb5090 · Oct 16, 2009, 10:20 AM

Looks like I have a conference call at 4 so I'll cut out of work right after, put me down for 7 possibly 630

The Final Dakar · Oct 16, 2009, 10:40 AM

I'll probably need a dinner break at some point, but otherwise, I'm good for anytime around then.

klb5090 · Oct 16, 2009, 11:05 AM

Sounds good , hopefully we can get the sisters crosbie

The Final Dakar · Oct 16, 2009, 11:06 AM

Not until way later, probably.

klb5090 · Oct 16, 2009, 12:09 PM

Think we could do a legendary run ? Hopefully we can find a third , calling apsolid ...

The Final Dakar · Oct 16, 2009, 12:10 PM

Thats what I was thinking. You mind doing audiofiles too, though? Also, no killing the floating snails, I need that achieve too. And leave the toilet seat down.

Stogieman · Oct 16, 2009, 02:41 PM

I gotta work late tonight so I probably won't be on until way past Boguesy's bedtime... around 11ish EST. Also, I broke my pair of glasses last Monday. My replacements should arrive tomorrow. The last few days I had to resort to wearing my prescription sunglasses during my xbox sessions. No Dakar, I did not have Corey Hart music playing in the background.

The Final Dakar · Oct 16, 2009, 02:46 PM

Why in ****s name do you link me with 80s music?

Stogieman · Oct 16, 2009, 02:50 PM

Because you played Lips! Nuff said.

The Final Dakar · Oct 16, 2009, 02:50 PM

Yeah, the Brit Pop stuff. That's 90s and 00s, bitch!

Sounds like a plan , I only have 9 audio files, and I also need both the killing / non killing snails achievements , let's set the man date for 7pm sharp

The Final Dakar · Oct 16, 2009, 02:52 PM

Done.

Stogieman · Oct 16, 2009, 02:57 PM

Oh sh** I just realized that Smallville is on Fridays now. This changes everything.

The Final Dakar · Oct 16, 2009, 03:00 PM

I thought you had a DVR?

Stogieman · Oct 16, 2009, 03:06 PM

I do but for some reason it didn't record last week's episode. Don't want to take that chance again. If it's recording when I get home then I'll jump online. If not, then I'll see you at midnight.

The Final Dakar · Oct 16, 2009, 03:08 PM

No biggie.

I'm in the big, dark time-sink that is known as Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Pretty sweet game, but it's making my 360 jealous.

The Final Dakar · Oct 16, 2009, 04:31 PM

It's too bad they don't have that for the 360.

God-dammit, Nov. 10 can't come soon enough.

sek929 · Oct 16, 2009, 04:36 PM

At least with my iMac I can enjoy the game in HD resolutions, not to mention it's, uhh, cheaper to get PC games. The iMac does get hot enough to fry an egg after a long gaming session though.

Before you know, it's gonna be the 10th and all you nerds will get your Fatty back.

That took me a minute to figure out.

Had to play the 360 on a SD TV a few weeks ago, i can't stand it, after playing in HD so long its terrible

It doesn't run at full iMac resolution (1680 x 1050) but still looks great at 1280 x 768.

I'm so used to it that I have the exact opposite situation. I'm fine with SD and absolutely amazed when I get to play at 1080p.

Stogieman · Oct 17, 2009, 08:57 PM

I probably won't be on tonight (gotta help a friend fix his warranty voided RROD xbox). We should try to schedule another meet-up for tomorrow.

The Final Dakar · Oct 17, 2009, 09:36 PM

I'm no good after 9pm on sundays

Leonard · Oct 17, 2009, 10:44 PM

I should be on Saturday afternoon starting around 2pm eastern.

klb5090 · Oct 19, 2009, 10:22 AM

Dakar you want to do a quick easy run tonight for audio logs and anti snail killing ? I'll be on around 6pm est If you want to meet up

The Final Dakar · Oct 19, 2009, 10:47 AM

Yeah, sure, though 6 is unlikely. I've been working overtime, so I'll give you an update later when I figure out how late I want to stay.

The Final Dakar · Oct 19, 2009, 10:49 AM

BTW, this is the most cursed gaming experience I've had. I did the Vidmaster Classic achievement, and it didn't give it to me, probably because I used the horn in the warthog.

klb5090 · Oct 19, 2009, 10:59 AM

I also had an issue my first run, let me know later when yor gonna be available , how long do you think it will take ??

The Final Dakar · Oct 19, 2009, 11:05 AM

I don't know ****.

Stogieman · Oct 19, 2009, 01:55 PM

I'm off work today so let me know when this meetup will take place. It shouldn't take too long with 3 people on easy difficulty. We'll use a guide this time for the audio logs. Remember, we need to replay all 3 flashback levels + Data Hive.

The Final Dakar · Oct 19, 2009, 01:56 PM

We're doing the entire game for our not kill things achieve anyway. Three people should make walking around the longest part of the game.

klb5090 · Oct 19, 2009, 03:45 PM

Sounds good , Dakar you know when your gonna be free yet ? I'm thinking 7 sharp again but I mean 7this time

The Final Dakar · Oct 19, 2009, 03:46 PM

7 sounds good. I'm thinking I'll be at work no later than 6.30.

Yup, don't use it. They confirmed if you use the horn, it won't count. Haha. What a waste of time.

BTW, this 3 hr time zone difference is killing me. I feel I can rarely play with you guys anymore since I can't get on till at least 8pm my time. East coast time zone sucks.

klb5090 · Oct 20, 2009, 09:23 AM

Good quick run last night guys , I'm hoping to finish off these achivements before GTA IV BOGT on the 29th

phyllobranchial · Oct 20, 2009, 09:51 AM

i m a new gamer in this too, and seems not so easy

Yep, east coast time zone sucks. Wait, wait (remembers he's in an eastern time zone),... no it's west coast time zones that suck.

Central is where it's at - you can watch TV on the east and west channels and see shows before and after your time. Eastern is cool too, if you miss something on TV you can watch it on the west coast channel at a later time.

Leonard · Oct 20, 2009, 05:08 PM

Newbie Xbox 360 question? How many people are you limited to on your friends list on Xbox Live? I probably won't hit it, so I don't have to worry.

The Final Dakar · Oct 20, 2009, 05:14 PM

100.

The Final Dakar · Oct 20, 2009, 05:57 PM

I've been dragging my ass, but here's a pic of my best and worst from Friday night.

Stogieman · Oct 20, 2009, 08:29 PM

The reason our scores were so low on that last pic was because you & I drove mongoose through the whole level. (Notice how we had the fewest deaths.) Almost all of my kills came at the very end when we were guarding the base.

p.s. - I need to find my capture card so I can post a vid of last night's tea-bagging orgy.

Settle down, Nancy, no one cares. You guys all has scores in the tens of thousands, I managed one barely in the thousands.
