WRUP: so sad and lonely edition


Despite the fact we had accepted that it would happen eventually, the loss of a console has taken its toll. We're angry and confused. We've been short with our friends and family. The other day, we stooped to playing Gamecube to dull the pain. It didn't work. We miss all of our dear online friends. The 360 community rug has been viciously been pulled out from under us. Honestly, we're not sure what to do next. But don't worry about us, for it is you that's important. Besides, two out of three X3F bloggers still have working consoles, and two out of three ain't bad. So, as always we must ask, what will you be playing this weekend?

Leaderboards:
Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard
Xbox 360 Fanboy Leaderboard Mk. II

X3F Gamertags:
Richard Mitchell -- SenseiRAM (out of service)
Dustin Burg -- SuperDunners
David Dreger -- Knuckles Dawson

3. Hey Mitchell how tempting is it to keep the Elite you guys will be getting soon? BTW haven't heard anything from the "free" prizes...did you guys keep all that? I would lol.

But seriously it's really nice of you guys to be giving back to the community (hopefully).

4. TORO,

We're definitely giving it away, there's just some red tape we have to get through. Once all of that is taken care of, we'll be holding quite a few giveaways throughout the rest of the year.

5. CoD3, but my heart won't be in it. I want Bioshock, now!

Posted at 10:49AM on Aug 3rd 2007 by Crashman06

6. I got a review copy of Persona 3 shortly after my 360 went out. I'd probably be playing nothing otherwise. Luckily Persona 3 is awesome.

7. Looks like I'll be spending an unhealthy amount of time with DiRT and as always Halo 2. Might play some Burnout Revenge as well in hopes to breaking 8000 gamerscore.

Gamertag: Neon Jebus if anyone is interested.

8. While I will be away from my precious 360 for most of the weekend, when I get back on Sunday I'm planning on playing some Shadowrun, Bomberman Live, and Carcassonne. Maybe I'll be playing some Gears too, if it's what the friends list wills... plus I even toyed with the idea of breaking out Test Drive Unlimited again, as I still need quite a few achievements from that game.

9. I'll be playing some fun Halo 2 games, anyone interested in joining up?

10. I try to play games online that aren't R6:Vegas but after like 20 min, I always think "what the hell am I doing R6 is much more fun than this". Other than that I'll probably play some Castlevania: SOTN.

11. We're not going to have listen to this whining everyday are we?

12. nothing until two worlds comes out :(

13. Richard, my first Premium died in February, just a day before I got a seriously bad flu that lasted the whole month. It was while playing Crackdown. Right out of the Agency tunnel my 360's fan stopped, the console became dead silent, and the image froze. That was it.

I had to call the call center THREE TIMES in one week to secure my cardboard coffin, because the woman somehow didn't process my order correctly, and the second time the 'servers were down'. All told it took me about three and a half bored, sick, bedridden weeks to get my console back.

Irony of ironies, my all-time favorite game, CastleVania:SOTN finally hit XBLA the VERY DAY my console arrived in McAllen, Texas.
Let's hope this second console lasts longer than 8 months!

I could always use the Elite...*ahem*..haha!

14. @9

Can't make that time but would join if I could. Gamertag's the same as my name here; let me know the next time you do another one.

Posted at 11:10AM on Aug 3rd 2007 by Crashman06

15. Oh..and to add..don't feel bad about firing up the Gamecube..I actually turned on my PS2 during that month once! It was crazy. (And yes, I'm being serious. It was the only time I'd even plugged in the console since I first got my 360 in August 2006. I've got a Wii, but for now that might as well be unplugged and set aside, too!)

Posted at 11:12AM on Aug 3rd 2007 by Toph

16. In order:
Bomberman Live
Overlord
The Darkness

Posted at 11:13AM on Aug 3rd 2007 by PacoDG

17. Since my 360 died yesterday for the 3rd time, I'll probably be playing:

Super Paper Mario
Ninja Gaiden Sigma
Metroid Prime Hunters

18. "We're not going to have listen to this whining everyday are we?"

Oh, come off it. It's a joke.

Posted at 11:19AM on Aug 3rd 2007 by Richard Mitchell

19. I've been rocking:
* Bomberman Live

*tested and outright rejected both new XBLA games

*Geometry Wars (anticipating Geo Wars Galaxies for DS!!)

*Call of Duty 2 for backlogged Achievements

*Transformers to see exactly HOW much it
sucks (lots, by the way)

*Pac-Man C.E.


Basically, the above list is a cry for help, you guys. I NEED NEW GAMES!

Posted at 11:19AM on Aug 3rd 2007 by Toph

20. I'll be getting my Marathon on, and maybe some Fight Night and Dead Rising. Plus the usual Guitar Hero II and Halo.
