[Xbox 360] CoD 4 - Saturday 10 PM EST - It's on bitches.
Fast Disclaimer: Thread created with blessings of Irond Will.
Welcome to the D&D Xbox 360 thread.
Some of us may recall a older, grander time, a time Torque Bows, or sailing the dune seas in a Elephant carrier as pirates. After all, what is spirited debate without the occasional pixelated fatality? For too long we have used our words and wit to debate and whittle each other's positions into tatters. Now, I say we use grenade launchers and Spartan lasers to voice our concerns, and the battlefield shall be our quorum.
Q: What's the fuckin' deal?
A: This thread is for the sharing of Xbox gamer tags for D&D denizens, and, if we're lucky, some really bitching games on Xbox live. I will update this poast with any games we schedule, and with all D&D gamer tags I see posted. A long while ago, we had an older 360 thread and it fell by the wayside. This is my attempt to bring back some of that old ultraviolence.
So many new multiplayer games have come out!
Popular games of old we often played:
We had truly epic games of Gears of War.
I want to throw down the gauntlet. I have personally laid my chainsaw bayonet to every mod on D&D with the exception of ElJeffe. Like Sarah Palin and a majestic polar bear, I cannot rest until I have sawed his head off with my lancer rifle, and mounted it on my fireplace mantle. I'm comin' for you Jeffe - and hopefully 'timezones' or a 'family' won't prevent you from logging on and getting your 360 on with us.
Soon my pet. Soon.
Also, as an idea I'm kicking around - I'd like to do scheduled games that mirror certain threads. For example, i'd like to have a 2008 Presidential showdown, with equal teams representing the two parties. The victors will portend the elections results, much like the pre-madden games are used to predict super bowls. I'd like to see how many tags we get before I declare this grand contest.
Unfortunately right now I don't have a monitor and so I play 360 in a room away from my router where it's really difficult to get online hooked up without some creative wire routing. I try to get on occasionally, though.
Right now I'm mostly kickin' it in Mercenaries 2, but after this weekend I don't see myself playing much of anything other than Rock Band 2. Speaking of which, we need to have a presidential rock-off.

I am up for games. I'm away for 10 days or so, but will be back. Lately I've been playing Too Human, Tales of Vesperia and Castle Crashers. I'm picking up Rock Band 2 whenever it's out and I'm back home.
I made a PA D&D friend a long ass time ago, as well, and if you add that friend, you can view that friend's friends and see who on D&D is playing whatever.
But beyond all that -- fuck yeah, I'll play some games. Just getting in on some old school gears might make my month.

I played some Castle Crashers online, and it ... well ... crashed every time. I kinda annoyed with that game.
Oh yes, games. Right now I'm playing a lot of Mercenaries 2 and Madden 09 (in which I'm by far greater than any of you underlings)... looking forward to NBA 2k9 and Far Cry 2.
Seriously though, eight players, let's do Gears of War. If you don't have it, you're out.
Set a time, set a place (okay we did that already), and choose Gears cuz if you don't have it you're a square. Oh, also because bringing the chainsaw down on a fellow internet member is insanely satisfying. Fuck "other" games, let's do Gears.
I'm up for some Gears or Halo (although I havent played Gears alot and I've hardly played Halo 3 online).
Drakeon - Drakieon
I'd be into some big Halo 3 games online. Just let it be big, silly, and full of ridiculous. Just set a time, pick a game (I'm assuming lots of rockets) and hell yeah I'll play.
Also an option is Call of Duty 4 if you don't have Gears and aren't a big dumb butt like celery is.
Sorry, don't have Call of Duty, because I never felt the urge to pretend like I was a racist misogynist white pig from the 1940s letting all the darkies absorb the bullets for me while I got to run in with Tom Hanks and a handful of grenades.

That's not a problem because 4 doesn't take place in WWII. You'd know that if, you know, you weren't a dumb butt.

Yes in this game you get to kill people in the current age, but you don't feel too much like a racist because though some are ME some are also white.
I'll play when I can, usually at night, Pacific Time. And right now I'm replaying Bioshock, I think it's going to be one of my "playthrough once per year) games.
I lurk a lot in D&D, but don't post often due to most all you all being much more skilled at wordsmithery than I am. My tag is The Ratling , I dabble in Halo 3 and Forza 2 and GTA IV, though I don't mind adding people just to get a big friends list.
I'm sad to say I don't own Halo or GoW. Well, not sad exactly, they aren't really my type of games. I'm sad that I can't kill people instead of arguing with them.
Right. So what's everyone thinking of, say, this Friday? I don't want to schedule anything Sunday, as RockBand 2 is out, i'm sure everyone will be throwing the fuck down and getting their rock on.
So here's what I propose - Friday, say, 10 pm EST? We'll see how many show up. If it exceeds eight, we'll pick another game. If it stays about 8 (ish), then we'll get our Gears of War on. Like Cel, I need to chainsaw me some motherfuckers.
Aw hell, I just got my 360 in June, and up until now I've only had real-life friends on my list. It'd be fun to try and play some games with you all, although I don't actually own CoD4, Halo 3, or GoW. I'm going to work on getting GoW soon, though.
I do have Too Human, Mercenaries 2, and GTA4, though.
In a day or so I should be down for getting into this. I don't post much here, but I get the impression you guys would be a little less hardcore that some of the other boards.
My GT is my name minus one 9. I have Halo 3, GTA 4, and I really want to get GoW. Maybe this thread will spur me along.
EDIT: Gooey, do you have a link or something to a larger image of your sig? I love that pic, but I haven't been able to find it.
Between the WAR beta and Spore I might not be on Live much, but I'll probably take time to play through Castle Crashers with some folks once they fix the connection issues. I also have GTA IV and Rock Band.
Don't ask me to play a FPS on a console.
edit: oh, and if the other guy that bought Warlords happens to read this - I will wreck your shit.
I do not have Halo 3 or Gears of War... I am a sorry, sorry Xbox 360 owner, I know.
Nonetheless- Flannel Jedi
Well, the only reason I have Halo 3 is it was one of four games that came free with my XBox when I bought it. It's cool enough, but I've never been a fan. GoW is badass, though.

Like you are.

It's very edifying.
Well damn.
I still vote Halo or Gears.
XBL Tag: DoctorArch.
This would be awesome with people from D&D.
It would be cultured thuggery.
...
Maybe playing with PA isn't such a smart idea.
I'm sad to say I don't own Halo or GoW. Well, not sad exactly, they aren't really my type of games. I'm sad that I can't kill people instead of arguing with them.
pew pew. I only have gta4 at the moment and need to buy a new wireless adapter but when I do!!!! pew pew pew pew pew in your face.
I've got Halo, Gears and COD4 so'd be up for any of them.
So here's what I propose - Friday, say, 10 pm EST? We'll see how many show up. If it exceeds eight, we'll pick another game. If it stays about 8 (ish), then we'll get our Gears of War on. Like Cel, I need to chainsaw me some motherfuckers.
It's in my sig ("Drezdar").
WORD OF WARNING, THOUGH:
[ed] We should all look at Drez's gamerscore and go hide in a corner.
Fuck dudes. I would love to play GTA IV with all of you.
Unfortunately I RED RINGED ON FRIDAY
So it'll be a while before I get my 360 working again. Apparently I have to bring it to a UPS place and send it from there.
edit: I forgot to mention, I have Skate, GTA IV, Mercenaries 2, Burnout Paradise, Rock Band and Castle Crashers.
Now hopefully I can get my 360 back in time to wtfpwnzor u bishes
I do have Too Human, Mercenaries 2, and GTA4, though.

I won't be around this weekend, unfortunately.

I screen capped it from NBC's online video player. So that's about the size I took it at.
I don't have live gold at the moment, but Castle Crashers is making me wish I did (Buggy netcode notwithstanding) and I do have Halo 3 and GoW....
So add me to the list and I'll get my gold membership up in the near future.
