View Full Version : Xbox Live nights?!
Was just thinking, we should have like one night every couple of weeks, playing on live games. We could play Gears, halo 2, Grawand such. Anyway if anyone has any idea's just post in here!
i had a heart attack and though Nights into dreams was coming to the xbox:ohmy: :lol:

Ditto. What a misleading topic title! I thought the same thing.
Sounds like maybe a good idea to foster community in the forum would be to enhance user account data with XBOX Live Gamer Tags and add a page to show users with a Gamer Tag set. Without digging around for signatures or asking in a thread, I have no clue how many forum users are actually on XBOX Live (on the 360).

I'm going to intergrate Gamer Tag features in actually. Sadly my XBOX can't get on Live right now, since I got Vista I'm having problems sharing my connection. I'll give you guys a shout when it's working.
I've only got Crackdown, PGR3 and Pro Evo 6 though. I do have PSU, but I've not started it online yet. :(
Lol sorry folks for the title. Oh well it;s just an idea. I have gears, pro evo, Graw, FFXI. Also on the arcade, i have poker, uno, umk3, and SF. I other games but there not live.
Also it doesn't have to be live, we could play kairella games such as sonic 2-3 and stuff.

I totally thought this was about that rumor that NiGHTS was coming to the Live Arcade!
I can't even put my GamerTag in forums...
I have Halo 2, GoW, DOA4, the Burger King games, CoD2, and Lost Planet, as well as the arcade game Robotron

Oh I must have missed that one on the post of upcoming features. (hint hint) ^_^

Hmmm. Wish I was there to help. I'm running Vista Ultimate myself and probably could get ICS working in it, however, prefer to have my sharing done by the Linux server. I think the only thing that ever throws me off with the connection sharing is that Microsoft doesn't tell you that it does not work if you use any other IP other than 192.168.0.1 for shared adapter. That requirement frustrates me because I like to have a different network IPs so as not to conflict with sites I connect to via VPN.

Kaillera (http://www.kaillera.com/). I haven't heard that name in a few years. I use to be active on their forums and wrote perl scripts to make up for its lack of user management features. I also use to run a Kaillera server too.
Mufasa knows all,XD.
I've got Gears of War, Halo 2, and PGR3. I only play GoW mainly, but i will play Halo 2 (and perhaps PGR3) if there's a night set up for it =)
My Gamertag is my name, so yar.
i have PGR3, Halo2 and forza motor sport^_^ my gamer-tag is FPSLeo (surprises there:biggrin: )

Thanks. -_-

I'm so going to be the odd ball on this one. I don't really like first person shooter games much... The only person I have on my friends list on XBOX Live is always playing Gears of War lately... On my 360 I'm either playing Sonic, watching a video or playing something from the XBOX Live arcade or a demo.
Speaking of that, i need to go see if i can increase my Geometry wars score at all...haha. I also play Smash TV with people on occasion, but those 2 are the only full arcade games i have (othen then Hexic..lol)
Feel free to add me anyway =)

I'm going to join you in being odd.
I don't really either, but GoW and Lost Planet are THIRD Person shooters, so it's better.
My GT is NiGHTSfan, everybody add me! (If you want...)

I've tried and tried to get my score up. On that I just plain suck! I cannot survive 250,000 yet without dying. I also have Smash TV. I played that alot a few months back. I also have marble blast, frogger, scramble(bought it thinking it was scrabble!:wacko:).
Also might i add i wnt be on live until atleast friday. but i'll send fr's out tomorrow!
If people still play halo 2 then thats cool. I used to play that ALOT. Until i got my 360 and coundn't quite get my skill that i had on the old xbox because of the awkwardness of the bumper buttons on the 360 controller.

Well I'm betting I suck at Geometry Wars the most. I have yet to beat the demo version (survive before the time runs out). Thats my biggest reason for not buying the game. Love that tune though.

Infact, does anyone have DOOM? That could be very fun, as long as it doesn't lag.
I've been meaning to buy doom actually! Everytime i go to buy it something else pops out at me and i have to buy that! If worms aint out soon then i'll make that my next priority!
Worms is out at any random date in Febuary, so as it's the 27th, you ain't got long to wait,lol.
I'm not buying any points for quite some time, so next thing i'll be buying is probably Worms, and Doom.

Next thing I get off MarketPlace will be those updates for SONIC the Hedgehog, then I might get DOOM.

Updates? Am I missing something? All I recall being in the MarketPlace was the sonic themes and gamer pictures. I'd love to see an update that say--removes some of the unnecessary load screens or fixes any of the other bugs.

Not yet, but there is an update that gives the game a Super Hard mode. It's 200 points PER CHARACTER. Also, there's an amigo Time Attack that lets you play through the whole game as Tails, Rouge, and Blaze for 150 points.
The updates are Very hard mode for Sonic silver and shadow. These cost 150 points each. Then theres a download called Team amigo's. Where you go around as tails, rouge and blaze i think. No patch yet though which i woulda prefered!
Also Worms aint coming out this month, since its alien hominid tomorrow!

I reckon I could challenge you for sucking the most at Geometry Wars too. I can't get beat the demo version either!

I do! lol
Lag wise, it actually runs pretty well, unless you get some 'dial-up boy' on the server. It works quite well.
Are there any Burnout Revenge 360 fans on here? (other than Mark, who I know hates it with a passion) I love that game, and cannot wait for Burnout 5 online!

You can go one live with dial up?!
I dont think lag would be an issue if we're playing together. Whoever has the best connection would be host anyway. I'l get some microsoft points soon and get doom!

Yeah, I don't remember 360s coming with 56k dialup modems. :huh: But then again, I'm the weirdo that hooks up my cell phone to my Linux server and use it to connect to XBOX live when my cable internet goes down.
Why? 'cause it won't record the dates on your achievements unless you are connected when you get them. Those dateless achievements drive me crazy!

I think the 'dial-up boy' was just reffering to the fact some people have shite broadband connections, like mine, I've had dial-up speeds all day!
You should add SKUNKMADTWODEE he has doom. Sound guy aswell. I have a 10 meg connection and i can usually hold an entire gears of war room without lag. Mind you depends where they are from!

There actually is a way to get dial up onto a broadband system like an xbox 360. I think it involves hooking it up to a pc's network hub and connecting through the computer.

Yeah its almost exactly like what I've done with my cell phone, but with a real land line and modem. Get LAN sharing of your dial-up connection and you're in. Windows 98 SE and better should all have free Internet Connection Sharing that does this. Of course, Linux does this as well which is my preferred method.
But this is by no means like the DreamCast with a native console system 56k modem.... Which is think is what people are doing the double take for. And I think Mark is right. The spirit of the original comment in quotes was a broadband connection running like a dial-up.

Thank you Mark - you are right. Thank god you can't get on Xbox Live at the moment - I'd be moaning at you if you were in my room!
SegaMark aka Dial-up boy!
Hey i've got XBox Live and i've got games like Fuzion Frenzy 2, Crackdown and others!!! Almost forgot GT's "sas SJ1307SSF"
come on i'm for once standing up for Mark by saying stop calling him it's probbably that he's trying to play on the 360 and using the PC at the same time which KILLS the connection or slows it down to a dial-up style load times for both!!!

Actually I have theorized that Mark is on a cable connection and is maxing out his upload. From what I read earlier, it sounded like the feed of RadioSEGA music starts from a computer at his house and feeds to the hosting company. Its been my experience that all cable modems run like 56k modems or worse if their upload speed is fully utilized. Thats one reason why I paid extra for a bigger up/down pipe.
The other theory is that his on DSL and is just barely close enough to a central office to get signal. ;)

Basically my internet at University is shit, a company supplies internet to the flats I live in, thus we're forced to use them, they're terrible. Loads of downtime, and often speeds will drop. It's £25 a month for 1MBit with 25GB a month allowance which is robbery. When the broadband is fine I can connect to XBL, but since I've installed Vista I can't get the 360 to share the connection, I'd probally of sorted it now if I could of been arsed though. :lol:
RadioSEGA runs off my connection back at home.

Ah! That makes much more sense. So I guess its even possible that the connection from the university is NATted when you get it. That would suck. I hate NATting NAT.
25 quid for 25 gig of allowance? Wow i thought having to pay a 5er for printing ballance was alot!
Just got Doom last wednesday, and i'm terrible at it. If anyone is up for a game of tonight then gives us a bell. Also If your up for it mark you'll have to give me the opportunity of kicking your ass in pro evo 6!:P:ph34r:
