Lunker

I fell off the wagon pretty quickly last season. I like the concept and overall game a lot, even without the whole "chance to win free shit" thing, but the Live games are way more entertaining and they only see fit to run them on Friday and Saturday nights, when I'm typically busy. Any Live sessions coming during the rest of the week?

Oh my God I hope this is all true.

fragglefart

I kinda missed this last time around, will have to make time for it, sounds fun.

Taramoor

Other than the group hug achievement, I like all of those.

One should never have to rely on the intelligence of strangers for an achievement.

UnbreakableVow

Group Hug will be one of the first ones people get.

The first few questions are always ridiculously easy.

That's what your friends list is for. While I had very few bad groups made from strangers, I very often played with 2 or 3 friends in my group. Though we often tried to throw each other off with fake answers. So yeah, so very there.

troublebrewing

wooooo i'm so pumped. also I really hope the achievements rumor is true.

mxmarks

Wow, why isnt being in the mob or being the one an achievement!? Huuuuuuuuuuuuge error in my eyes.

"Gamerscore" means nothing. Its not tied to any currency or anything, so it's overall meaningless. Its just a way to show people things you've done in games, and possibly highlight what you're proud of. The avatar awards are a good way of doing that. I wore my Splosion Man shirt because I was damn proud of beating that game. The gamerpoints I got for it were there so people could see how well I did.

Being the one and being in the mob would be the type of things achievements are MADE for. Its a rare thing (hell, make them a point a piece), that not everyone would have - and people would note if you had it.

I think there even should be an achievement for being the one and winning the whole damn thing. THAT would be a special one to show off.

At very least I think there should be avatar awards for being in the mob, being the one, winning in the mob and winning as the one. It's a rare thing that I'd love to be able to show off if it happened to me.

UnbreakableVow

Achievements based on chance?

I'm sure as shit glad you don't decide what Achievements exist.

WilDPanthA05

This would be cool ... I played the first couple games but it got kinda old.

I'd definitely jump in for an achievement or two.

I'd put achievements based on chance in stuff that's free.

And don't give me shit about achievements based on chance - I STILL dont have the Spinnerbox one in Fable 2...

But all I'm saying is that I want something to show people that I was the one, or in the mob. An avatar shirt, an achievement, a lovely parting gift.

troublebrewing

personally I wouldn't mind those achievements based on chance, but some people are completionists and really get bugged by those missing GS points.

FyreWulff

There are over 600,000 people playing. A One or Mob achievement would be silly.

Your reward for being the One is a fuckton of Microsoft Points.

By the way, these are true.

Game Show Guru and Group Hug look like the hardest ones.

mantis23

Isn't this not free anymore? I could swear I remember reading that this was going to be a charge for this now that it is out of beta and live. That you pay a flat amount per "season"

Can anyone confirm this?

FyreWulff

No, people saw "buy season pass", forgot it was a beta, and assumed the next one would be paid. As far as we know, all this stuff will be free for Gold users. The theory is that Silver users will be able to 'a la carte' and just buy a season pass to play 1v100.

Which my girlfriend would totally do. I have been very lucky in the sense that we played this together a TON during her free month of live, and the only other weekends we had free to do it happened to be free silver weekends.

Including this coming one.

I'm obviously thrilled that she's taken an interest and enjoying one of my hobbies, but I cant blame her for not wanting to pay for a gold subscription for JUST 1 vs 100 (especially when its not even available year round), but I dont really have the cash to give her a year sub as a gift. I'd buy the hell out of a season pass for her though (assuming it's like $15)

EvilBadman

I'm the Ben Stein in your trivia nightmare.

Leitner

So are the non-live shows going to be crazy hard? Because durng the last season it was all "Question one: Who is the ranked number twenty seven cricket player in Guyana?".

And maybe make getting instant answers humanly possible, or are they making no technical changes?

Aoi

I would really love to see MS put more backing into the Primetime idea. They beta tested it during E3, and it didn't even get a mention in their keynote. It's weird how its there, and it seems to do well when its around, but they never actually seem to push it.

That being said, they NEED to team up with Jellyvision for a show. NEED.

Willeth

So, is any American going to be playing this tonight at 5:00 PST and want to shoot a UK guy an invite to get in on it earlier than the UK show is scheduled? Or, at the very least, find out if they blocked that loophole? My gamertag is Willeth.

I have a US gamertag (thenumber42), but you need Gold to even download 1 vs 100.

EDIT: Actually, if anyone has a trial Gold code, that might help with that.

FyreWulff

Streaming this now for a bit:

- stream ova -

VThornheart

This is quite possibly my favorite game on the 360. I had hesitated to even get a Gold membership when I first got my XBox because I couldn't imagine having the time (or playing the multiplayer-heavy genres) to make it worth it... but being able to play 1 vs. 100 really makes me feel like it was money well spent. There's something deeply entertaining about it.

And now... to go play!

FyreWulff

Holy shit, they really streamlined and sped it up..

.. also, 2 achievements get'd already.

ZeoVGM

Okay, it says "max out your Avatar Action 10 times" for that achievement. I assume that means press Y until you dance, 10 times, in one round. But I'm not getting an achievement. :[

VThornheart

Oh, it only will work in the live one, ZeoVGM. I tried to do it too, and then realized that it had that limitation. =( So tonight at 10pm will be the first time you can potentially get the achievement.

I got all but 5 of the achievements, I came SO close to Game Show Guru... I had an 11 question streak if I'm not mistaken, but flubbed the 12th. =( I don't think I'll ever get quick draw though... I'm fairly good at trivia, but not great at getting it quickly. =(

Showboating Specialist and Trivia Fanatic are pretty much impossible to have gotten tonight... but maybe if you add in the whole night worth of trivia tomorrow and do some showboating at the live show, we can get them both by the end of tomorrow night.

I also have a very hard time intentionally answering questions wrong, so I'm having a hard time getting Low Rider, even though I tried to tell myself to get it intentionally.

Artoria

Played some of this last night and it was definitely good. I kept trying to get the "showoff" achievement but ti didn't pop and I was pumping on Y like a mad man.

Still good fun and the Questions have ramped up a bit this time.

FyreWulff

Also, I like the improvement for using skips where you have to hold down Y.

You have to decide a bit earlier if you want to use one, however.

PepperSinclaire

Oh man, I've got L4D2 and Modern Warfare still to play/complete, and now this drops. I need some kind of gaming rota.

Willeth

Quick Draw I thought I'd have no trouble with, given that I was routinely in the top ten in Season 1. But the questions are a tad harder in the live show this time around.

Anarchy

I've been playing it in the UK and I've really enjoyed it. But its crashed at least four times during the ad breaks.

Also, they still haven't fixed the issues with not being able to hear the last host. Its still an improvement over last season.

FyreWulff

It depends. A lot of times it's live but the host isn't actually there.

Willeth

There isn't a live host for the UK this time around.

I just unlocked a new dance by getting to level 5. Which is a little weird.

Willeth

So it turns out the UK show is pretty fucked. It consistently freezes on the second streaming advert in the stat breaks, and I've missed out on achievements for streaks because of it.

VThornheart

Our own jwhypick1 from the forums got 2nd place in the Crowd during one of the live rounds! I dropped my controller when I saw him come up!

I got in the Mob last night too! I lost (as, apparently, everyone else did including The One) to the question about what condiment was used as medicine. I just couldn't believe it would be ketsup.

Oh, and if you want to trigger that achievement: let yourself fall to 0 so your character stops moving, and *then* pump it all the way back up to max again. Do that 10 times, and it should work!

EDIT: And indeed Willeth, some of the questions this season are downright obscure. General Trivia, I think, should be about general knowledge questions or subjects that are only of interest to specific subcultures. For example, the condiment question above was a totally fair question... but the question posed in Extended Play earlier in the day about "which underground punk band blah blah blah" (I don't remember the details) was one of dozens of questions that I think a person could only really know if they happened to be a part of that specific subculture. They should leave those questions for a subculture-specific special round or something, not put them in general trivia.

Willeth

Will be on tonight, probably with a couple of guests. If anyone wants to fill the fourth slot, jump into the party I'll be running.

When's the first show tonight for the UK?

EDIT: Also, at least one of the questions was wrong last night. Carbon dioxide is not the cause of the bubbles in champagne.
