Last night i went to my cousins house for a meal, having been invited there a few weeks back. Well as i walked in i got a shock to find a load of my cousins in the house shouting “surprise”!!!
My missus had organised a surprise party for my impending 40th birthday and i was speechless as she knows i’m not one for parties or surprises! Unbeknown to me they had all clubbed together and bought me the Xbox 360, 250Gb with the kinect unit! They also bought me a few games: medal of honor (sic); BFBC2 and call of duty, black ops!
I had a quick go with call of duty but i was all over the place, it reminded me of the first time i played an FPS on the pc trying to co-ordinate myself with the mouse AND keyboard!! I think it will take me some time to get used to the controls so i’ll only be messing with single player for the time being but i’ve registered myself with live gold (i think it’s called) and i’m under the name of wild egg tamer.
What names are you guys under ? do you use clan tags or just a name ? Can clan tags be added separately or do you need to register another username with the clan tags added ?
Cheers for any info guys and i look forwards to playing online soon.
Happy birthday you old bastard! I look forward to a time when they introduce cross platform gaming and I can kick you ass!
Sweet! and Happy Birthday mate, welcome to the club that is 360!
I go under the name of =XDC=iNSANE 🙂
Cool family you got there! was my b’day last week… My own family gave me cards only… My in laws bought me a bum bag (i mean wtf??) And my wife got me a surfing DVD.
Jealous? Me?
Would be interested in a kinect review btw.

i tried to put you in but i can’t use special characters. Added an iNSANE and it turned out to be a yank, have no idea how to remove him!
I’ve added a few others so hopefully they will get back to me. I’ll also add you space when i get it set up again.
I’ve put it away for now as i’m working long days the rest of the week so won’t have time to play. I’m off for a few days next week as its my birthday on Tuesday but my building work starts Monday so i’m not sure what sort of time i’m going to be getting to have a game or 3!
I did have a go at BFBC2 today and couldn’t find my way around the trenches on that WW2 start up game………..not to mention i was all over the place with my controls!! But, i guess it will fall into place eventually. I also downloaded the demo of BF1943 (wake map) and had a go on that but again trying to fly, drive a tank and generally walk around to try and shoot anything was damn hard with the hand controller. I guess the fun is in the practice 😉
First impressions are that i think i’m really going to enjoy it. My last console was a PS1 which i hardly used and my old megadrive which did get a bit of use. I like that i can fire up my twitter or watch something from sky. I’ve not been able to sync it with my server yet as it seems to want to only recognise a pc but that’s no big deal as i don’t think i’ll be using it for streaming music, films etc. I have registered on last.fm which looks pretty good fun.
One thing. If i wish to change my ID from wild egg tamer to XDCwildeggtamer do i need to pay for that ? I created another profile but it did’nt have live gold on it. I will get around to reading the instructions eventually but haven’t had the time or inclination today.
I had a brief go on the kinect on Sunday at my cousins house and it’s pretty impressive. I only have the kinect adventures game but it showcases quite nicely what it’s capable of. I think given time there should be some good games coming out which will utilise the technology well. I’ve seen a few keep fit vids which i think i may well purchase 🙂
All in all, i’m a happy bunny!! 😀
oo might be a space inbetween my name and tag mate Sorry!
Yes you will have to pay which is ghey!
🙂

Great technical support mate. What is it you do again for work? 🙂
Technical support specialist you nonce
Your just jealous cos your name looks shit without its Tags 🙂
i had the same problem when i looked at my tag, XDC wildeggtamer wouldn’t fit (no such aggro on pc ;)) so i just settled for wild egg tamer though may register XDC WeT in future.
