Rainbow 6: Vegas goodness

[Viin]

I should be able to make it but I'll be late .. having dinner with the extended family.

[NiX]

My bad. My date ended up lasting 21 hours longer than I expected.

[Big Gulp]

My bad. My date ended up lasting 21 hours longer than I expected.

No sweat.  I wasn't really up for it anyway.  I'm in a Medieval 2 marathon, and Egypt is rocking the Med.

Really?  I envy your stamina.

 

[WayAbvPar]

I am planning on picking this up soon (as early as tonight), but I will be playing the PC version. Daddy doesn't thumb-aim for NOBODY.

[NiX]

Why did you sully this thread with your PC garbage?

[Strazos]

Wow, you can actually Run that thing on your PC?

I think it has something to do with UbiSoft. The new Splinter Cell game has reqs that are equally high and silly.

[Big Gulp]

Why did you sully this thread with your PC garbage?

As much shit as I talked about waiting for the PC version, I've got to admit that I was wrong.  From now on, if a multiplayer game comes out I'll be opting for the 360 version for one simple reason:  Live.  It's just ideal for matchmaking, hooking up with friends, and the fact that everyone is voice enabled by default is just the icing on the cake.  It completely blows away any advantages the PC world has due to mouse and keyboard.

[NiX]

Not to mention they're now porting from console more heavily. So, you can get the well done version (console) or the butchered version (PC.) GRAW anyone? I'm not a console fanboi, but all of what Gulp mentioned just makes it so much more convenient and not to mention no compatibility issues.

You console loving traitor  .

I hate that I bought a 360. Stupid hype. Someone buy? KTHX.

I only found that because I was reading through the old Festivus threads.

[Morfiend]

I think it is safe to say that Xbox 360's quality of games lately has converted some of us to the dark side.

[murdoc]

You bastards better be still playing this in January!

[Morfiend]

You bastards better be still playing this in January!

Well, im sure January 16th is going to see a small slowdown of people playing Xbox live. I cant quite think why though.

I will definitely make time to play some RB6:V though.

[NiX]

Yeah, I said it. But, a year makes a world of a difference. Especially since the game list from back then was shit. Utter shit. But, the PS3 has dick all right now too.

[Big Gulp]

I think it is safe to say that Xbox 360's quality of games lately has converted some of us to the dark side.

Yeah, I'm converted.  The only PC game I've been playing lately has been Medieval 2, and that's a once in a blue moon kind of thing.  It's gotten to the point where I'm seriously contemplating how I'd come up with a dual booting Mac system without paying Apple's exorbitant-ass desktop prices.

I mean, hell, if I'm not going to game on the PC why not use the best operating system?

[NiX]

It's time again to play, my friends!

[Big Gulp]

It's time again to play, my friends!

I might be around for a little while, but a friend of mine is coming over to get tattooed, so I'll have to hang it up then.

[schild]

I'd planned a couple days ago to play the shit out of Lost Planet this weekend.  So uh, my vote is for LP?

[SnakeCharmer]

I've been tempted to get Lost Planet.  Reviews look good.

Necro-bitches! - RASIX WANTS ME TO TELL PEOPLE THAT I EDITED THE MAIN POST AND WHAT NOT.

[Rasix]

Why did you do this?

[NiX]

If you read my edit.. Black and Red packs are now free. GOOD FUN!

[Rasix]

Might have wanted to include that in the highly informative "Necro-bitches".  Tuna.

Mission accomplished now.

edit: this wasn't very fun when schild and I tried playing it. Kept getting killed by messicans.

[NiX]

Clearly that's because you suck and suspect Schild attempts to play it like a Dating Sim.

[Viin]

Well, I still have the 48 hour xbox live gold trial key, so I could use that and teach you folks a lesson or two ..

[NiX]

Need to get Gulp in on it and 3 is good. I'm sure I can drag 1 friend into it.

[Big Gulp]

No can do 'til probably next week at the earliest.  360 is back for repairs.




AGAIN.

[NiX]

It knew this was coming and wanted to be in prime shape for it. Don't be mad! We can wait on you. If I get my friends in on it we can do some death match goodness or VIP. VIP sounds sexy.

[Yegolev]

I suck but send an invite.  I promise I will think about downloading the packs tonight.  Also, if it looks like I am playing Oblivion, nine out of ten it's my wife playing.

[NiX]

No wonder you never reply to my crazy messages. She probably thinks you know some weird people.

What time is good for everyone? Or what days? OR BOTH!

[Yegolev]

I don't respond because I'm at a loss.  Those are some quality crazy messages.  The only way I can one-up you is with photos, and no one wants that.

[Viin]

Most evenings work for me, after dinner (7pm mountain).

[Morfiend]

I would love to play some RB6:V.

I dont know what these packs are, but I will be getting them when I get home today.

Potential for deathmatch tonight if we can get 6 or 8 people. Though 6 would be wonky, but none the less, DEATH MATCH! Or VIP.
