512 GB usb flash drive. I call shenanigans.

tombull89

$500 from Amazon. Why. just...why.

RedRiderX

Buy another 360, install your games on that.

Heck, buy another two.

Kevin van der Velden

I also like the "Supporting 32 GB of storage space on USB flash drives is a huge increase over the original Xbox 360 memory unit. If you need additional storage, consider adding an Xbox 360 Hard Drive. See Xbox 360 storage options for more information." bit.

Translation from marketingspeak: If we support larger USB sticks you might not buy our overpriced hard drives!

Q: Backup Steam and Origin Gam,es before full system format

I'm planning to do a full format of my system this month in order to install Linux for programming purposes. But I have 4 games installed, Skyrim from Steam and Mass Effect from Origin. Both of them with every DLC I could afford. All my stuff, since always, are in another partition and all the ...

If I would buy one of those fancy overpriced USB sticks I'd buy it from a Dutch online shop I always use for my hardware, because cheaper, and still quality.

well, like planetside 2...... except.... not planetside 2 :D

Kevin van der Velden

@Meraj99 planetside 1?

TZHX

tribes: ascend can be fun.

Meraj99

@KevinvanderVelden NO o_O

um googling that

tombull89

how many players do you count as MMO?

Kevin van der Velden

@TZHX this is a true fact. Tribes is pretty darn fun

Meraj99

er....... 10k? idk O_O

Kevin van der Velden

@Meraj99 FPS with 10k in the same "world"? Not with todays tech =p

Meraj99

12:57

XD idk 1k?

tribes ascend looks good o_O

tombull89

Just Cause 2 Multiplayer reached a peak of something around 1.8k on one server.

Meraj99

meh idk

tombull89

That was a bit intense...

Meraj99

@TZHX gonna try this in a bit :D

Kevin van der Velden

@tombull89 wasn't that an unofficial mod? That's some amazing performance if so

And even if they have full access to the source it's really impressive

tombull89

12:59

@KevinvanderVelden That's right - the devs are running a final test this weekend before the release. And AFAIK they didn't have anything.

Meraj99

....... whats the average on planetside 2 xD kinda that style

tombull89

Should mention I'm on the beta-tester team for JC2MP.

Meraj99

Kevin van der Velden

@Meraj99 I've not heard of other games with planetside 2 style terrain capturing. Though It's not really my type of game so I don't know to much about it.

Meraj99

WHY DOES EVERYONE GET BETA, AND I DONT

tombull89

13:01

Battlefield 1942 is free to download and play. That has conquest mode.

Meraj99

is it a 1942 game? xD

tombull89

@Meraj99 hey, during the public beta anyone can join. All you need is JC2 on Steam.

which is like £3 at the moment

Meraj99

er, actually, forget the planetside 2 style

i need some modern-guns-style game xD

as in, tribes: ascend style

@Unionhawk I have to do that every day...

Arperum

@Unionhawk Students... make them wake up before 12PM and you kill half of them.

Unionhawk

@Arperum Well, yeah if I woke up before midnight I would probably die.

Because that would usually entail negative sleep for me.

Negative 2 hours of sleep is not healthy.

Arperum

@Unionhawk Sh. AM/PM weirdnes fixed.

Arperum

@Unionhawk I see three games in that list I payed full price for...

Kevin van der Velden

13:34

Your from Belgium so you have better fireworks than we do anyway.

tombull89

I own two of those games.

Kevin van der Velden

Portal, Farcry 3, Payday 2 and Torchlight 2

tombull89

One I paid full price for, the other was in a sale.

FEichinger

yawn Heya, folks.

Unionhawk

I think I paid full-price for portal 2, the others were on sale.

Arperum

13:35

@KevinvanderVelden Portal 2, Civ V + all expansion and DLC and Torchlight 2

FEichinger

@Unionhawk Only one for me.

Unionhawk

Actually, no, I think I paid full price for Payday as well.

Arperum

Torchlight might have been during a sale, the others were preorders

FEichinger

Actually, no, I didn't pay full price for any of those.

Unionhawk

But that was a pre-order, so I get a season pass with it, essentially.

shrug

RedRiderX

13:36

@Arperum Same here.

And I didn't pay full price for any of them.

Okay maybe not all of the Civ expansions...

Arperum

I still have two torchlight 2 games extra on my account, buying a fouyr pack and all that.

FEichinger

Portal 2 was a sale, FEZ was a sale, Civ V was a sale, Darksiders II was the THQ pack in... some sale, dunno which. And that's all of those that I own.

RedRiderX

Wait what am I thinking I don't even have torchlight two...

This is probably due to me not playing games since like ever.

Unionhawk

I think I got Darksiders with the THQ Humble Bundle.

@GnomeSlice Sure. :P

Arperum

@RedRiderX I am not a fan of random hugs. If some stranger would give me a hug out of nowhere they'd get at least pushed away, at worst a hit in the face.

RedRiderX

@Arperum Well you have to go to this site to get them.

So you're kind of asking for it.

Like if there was a "free hugs" person out in a park.

Arperum

@RedRiderX Not going back. Also: they could at least make the hugs appear in a random order...

GnomeSlice

@Arperum You can shuffle them

RedRiderX

@Arperum There is a shuffle button.

Arperum

@RedRiderX I would not go to him/her.

RedRiderX

13:57

@Arperum Problem solved then.

Arperum

@RedRiderX You tricked me in creepy hugs though.

RedRiderX

@Arperum I will make sure to properly mark all potentially hug-related media in future, so as not to offend anyone.

Arperum

@RedRiderX I look forward to the warning: WARNING:HUGGING ALERT

@Arperum The only creepy part of random hugs is the physical contact from a stranger. With this site, all you have is a nice gesture. I don't see what the problem is.

Kevin van der Velden

Q: "My Kung Fu is Strong" Trophy on Mortal Kombat 9 PS3

I am really annoyed by this as this trophy took 24 hours game play on MK which at 10 minutes a fight stacks up to quite a lot of gaming time... I finally got everything mastered for smoke and the trophy did not activate. How can this have happened? is it a glitch in the game or with PSN??
