I have tried the last few nights to get online but my connection seems to have gone to the dogs, keeps dropping out of games or disconnecting from xbox live. Have been on to the isp but they claim everything is fine with the connection and there should be no issues.

As far as i am aware nothing in the settings has been changed so it must be a problem on there end. So for the time being unfortunatly i wont be able to play. Hopefully they will realise its their problem and sort it out soon.:mad:

Go to this website and get a detailed read out of your connection at various times throughout the day. See how it varies for around now to how it performs at peak times (6pm-1am). This test will not just telll you your speeds but also how consistant your connection is too. All the info to beat your provider over the head with

If you want, pm me the results and I'll go over them and tell you how good or bad they are. You'll probably find it fairly straight forward and self-explanitory. I'd take a reading twice an hour over the period of several hours. That'll give you a pretty good picture of overall performance and should catch any intermittent service problems.

Forgot to insert the link!

Thanks moose, i will have a go of it some day this week hopefully, only problem being i work during the day so wont be able to get any readings then. I do know a bit about networking so i should be able to figure out what the problem is. If not i shall be giving you a shout:D

Well, I really enjoyed it. Thought it was very well done. Kept me guessing right up till the end. Be interesting to see what you think of it.

As for the chairs... I reckon you hit the nail. She really doesn't like the gamesroom at all...

Worked out that I got it for €113 delivered but I managed to win it on an ebay auction. Normally €159 + delivery of around €25.

Have to admit it's well worth the money. It's huge, very comfortable and works equally as good as an office chair as well as a reclining gaming chair. Check out ebay, there's loads of good deals on there. I settled on this one cause it looked the most comfortable in the pictures.

For similar money, I think it was Dunworth got a lovely chair and foot stool somewhere in Dublin. Not sure it'd be tall enough to be an office chair too though.

had some good games late on last night with garv and dunworth.them when dunworth left arond 2 it was myself and garv and some random(sh1te) guy agains 4 on the other team we blew them out of the water they where so ****1e before we got the last bomb they all left except one dude id say they where well pissed off that the 3/2of us beat 4 of them.

ah we rea;;y did kick the sh1t outta them.
was so funny. we wer 3000k and the oder guy was on 250.

had a game yesterday and we robber their apache on nelson bay was having a bad game up until then but the driver thought he had no guns and circled for the game wothout firing. but this worked out better because i was able to get 34 kills with it. all they wer doing was firing rockets at us and no1 could hit us. noone managed to land a tracer dart on us even.
in the end they wer using the self guided launcher which wasnt working out at all.

moose your gonna come home some day and find your games room converted to a spare closet/ makeup-room. with your xbox smashed to pieces and your chair used infront of the mirror and beans all over the floor. :p

With three different xboxes, I'd hope she runs out of stream before smashing the last one

I'm a firm believer that a man needs his own space every now and again... it just so happens that I share that space with lots of consoles, lcds and comfortable chairs

I do hope that Kinect might be the answer! As soon as they're available, I'm going to get one, stick it on the xbox in the living room and she if it gets her attention. She was addicted to Sonic as a teenager and recently got addicted to Farmville on Facebook... so if I can just get her hooked on an xbox game... oh boy, would my life be sweet!!! (Unless of course, it's then me complaining about not getting enough attention )

Wow, haven't seen this thread so quite before!

Anyway, as for last night's gaming. Raze and I exchanged tags again but the score is still 29-27... IN FAVOUR OF ME

My new gaming bean bag arrived yesterday. Capasso was using it last night and thought it was the business! Very comfortable.

I just received my new chair about half an hour ago. Assembly was simple. Turns out that it's even more comfy than I had hoped. It tilts, as well as reclines so it goes right back to horizontal... which took me for a bit of a surprise the first time it happened.

Roll on some extended gaming sessions!!!

I was delighted with my tags, jumped in bailed outta a heli, landed beside a wooki and shwung the knife to claim ya!, gutted when ya got me though!

My live is down so i came home to the parents place won't be on till sat

Great.... I can relax and enjoy a few games without feeling like a fox on hunt day

Ha ha to be fair I've be known to jump from buildings/tree/choppers in the past.

Yeah enjoy it while you can old man!! :P

Guys, when I platinumed the M24, I started using the lightweight pack with SV98 instead of the x12 scope (mostly due to Raze and Garv hunting me).

I've checked my stats and I have the same accurracy (42-43%) with the standard x8 as with the x12.

You have to calculate slightly less bullet drop with the x8. Also, at the ranges commonly used on most maps, I really see no benefit to the x12, in comparison to lightweight or extra ammo, which do come in seriously handy.

Anyway, that's my two pence worth... and it also keeps the thread alive

Did MS arrange for the collection of your console? When did you send it off?

Raze_them_all

Ah but when I'm not chasing you I like to sit far back, (usually a base or two and snipe) I prefer long range sniping than up close, I'll freely admit I'm not a medium range up close player due to bad eye sights, I need to sit back and wait for people to run ahead of me.

Pretty sure sniping is the only class I've an overall positive k/d ratio which has been slipping since I''ve been platinuming my t 88, vss and svu with 4x scopes

UPS Collected Yesterday. Ended up having to call microsoft because when I tried to fill in the form it wouldn't recognize my post code. Anyway after a lot of talking they sorted it out. Got the label and rang UPS which was another battle in itself.
But a mate of mine is lending me his xbox while he goes on holiday so be back very soon.

Cool, should have it back by the end of next week. Nice of your friend to lend you his!

I'm working on the MP-443 grach now. Not quite as powerfull as the M9, has 17 rounds in the clip and it fires as fast as you can squeeze the trigger, I'm having quite a bit of success with it.

I don't really like the burst pistol. At ranges above 15m, I can't seem to hit anyone with it. Perhaps I just need more practice with it.

I don't believe a word of it!!! Only you and Raze have my tags in double figures... both of you are guilty of switching sides to be against me (although more so Raze)... (reminds me of a mate who said "paranoia is just a heightened sense of awareness )

"I don't actually hunt you... I always run into you" crap... seriously, why don't you just shoot me then!!! Just put a bullet in my ****ing head and put me out of my misery...

I can't eat, can't sleep, my nerves are shot to bits... hell, I'm scared to even have dinner with the missus cause she'll have access to a knife!!!

You two are ruining my life!!! Leave me alone, you big bullies!!! Why can't we just all get along!!! :D

finally found this again yesterday after ''losing'' it for almost 2 months, god the pain of getting sniped ha
