I'd been wondering if they had removed some of those jobs from the lists. I did a crapload of random deathmatches over the last 5 days or so, and only got Prison Thugz once. Never got Seal Team 6 or Ryan's Privates even once. It's really improved picking up random matches. Last night was good stuff, other than my router crapping out twice. That's the first time I've had that much uninterrupted time to play in at least a year, and every bit of it was fun. Even the second router flake out was good, since I really needed to head off the airport anyway. And I actually won a solo deathmatch for the first time in forever. At the rate I'm going, I'll get that burning heart tattoo about 6 months before I qualify for social security.

Somebody needs to run a side business creating custom saves for people that hated DA2 to the point of quitting. I got through the thing twice myself, including once with my rogue nearly completely immobile due to that damn bug. Not surprisingly, the game was much easier the second time when I could actually move for the last half of it. I still can't believe a bug that big made it into the release. I understand shit happens - the company I work for was responsible for possibly the most notorious hardware bug of all time after all - but something that big should have been caught long before it went into production.

Note to self - drive more ambulances. I just picked up whatever was nearby, and inadvertently stumbled onto a cunning ploy. My favorite kill of the night was still the sticky bomb in the 3 team deathmatch. I was looking at all those tanker trucks, thinking nefarious thoughts, when I decided to slap a sticky bomb on one. I was praying somebody would happen past when melraz wanders up. the combination of the explosion going off, me laughing my ass off, and him cursing me out probably caused permanent hearing damage to the rest of our party. Favorite death was turning around in the trailer park deathmatch to see Dan's assault rifle 3 inches from my head.

That was the first time I'd used the minigun, and I only got 1 kill with it. The rest of those kills were with the combat MG, which is my go to weapon. I did have my one kill with the rocket launcher where I hit either JT or melraz in the windshield head on with it and it looked like the rocket traveled the entire length of the bus. I thought I was perfectly set up to make the save on the last bus coming out of the depot when JT shot me in the head from somewhere.

Fuck you to 14 hour days at work for both me and my wife. Fuck you to the headache I've got from lack of sleep that is laughing at the Advil I took, and the big toe I broke on Tuesday. Fuck you to a close friend's father's heart attack last night. Fuck you to another close friend's mother dying Sunday. I have no idea what to say to him because she was such an insufferable bitch that they had barely talked for 15 years. Most of all fuck you to a third friend going into the hospital with the knowledge he probably ain't coming out alive. He was already dealing with MS has a son with severe autism that needs his father around. Was terminal liver cancer really necessary? update - and I just learned he has died. His wife is a smart, smart lady, but she's going to need more than that to help their son through losing his dad. Little changes, upsets are very hard for him, and they don't come much bigger than this This week can kiss my ass.

Unless they've changed it recently, you have to go through the tutorial again if you add a second character. I had to do it for both of mine. I think that ought to make you level 3, at least. I suppose that could've been changed by the business update, though.

I saw my first level 1 last night in a deathmatch. Since I had time in the lobby, I looked him up. He had maxed out shooting and stealth. No way that happens at level 1. I'm wondering if they've quietly busted the level 900 hackers back to level 1.

melraz, Jones and I I ran into the shittiest crew of all time yesterday. It was the three of us & 3 of them in a room, with nobody else. melraz and Jones were just destroying this one poor sap over and over. The other two were fucking around in by the airport - no support whatsoever. We also ran into some really weird stuff in another room. Somebody was in a police van. melraz hit it with four rockets, and I put about 500 rounds into it with the minigun, but it just kept going. Then I went over to LSC downtown, and both entrances were blocked by what looked like portable buildings. never seen anything like it.

There are quite a few of us who have tanks now. We'd have rolled into San Andreas like Marshall into Tunesia. The "down with OPP?" jokes should write themselves, but we are old old men who are bitter about the thing that passes for hip hop today.. Rolling up on some unsuspecting bitches with half a dozen or so tanks would be glorious. Also, true story - I had to explain OPP to my wife a couple weeks ago. She was an undergrad when it came out, and somehow managed to never hear it till now. I have no idea how that happens.

I got taken out by a fighter jet downtown in my Turismo R. That's the first time it's ever happened to me. I knew the jet was there, but I figured it was no threat as usual. Then I blow up, and I'm thinking Holy Shit, that asshole actually got me! Later on, the game gave me credit for sniping him out of the jet, even though I only did a little damage and the guy actually crashed it on his own. Means you either killed him with your snipe or your snipe was the last straw for the plane, and the pilot didn't have the time (or the sense) to bail out. What he said. Some asshole in a Buzzard blew up my fucking Elegy once and I responded with the RPG I had been saving from a Survival match. I thought I was going to miss, but the RPG round hit and blew off the tail rotor sending the Buzzard into a flat spin. The guy almost made a successful emergency landing, but the Buzzard landed on its side and exploded a few blocks away from me in Vespucci Beach.. I got the credit for the kill. So far, it is my only recorded murder via RPG. If that's what it was, then he was in the longest death spiral ever. He died about 5 minutes after I stopped shooting at him. I figured I was just the last one to hit him.

Damn, wish I could've got on last night, instead of being up till 3:30 debugging something for work. I really hate the plane races, mainly because I'm so terrible at them. So far, the only thing I've accomplished was managing to do an airborne pit maneuver on Dan twice in the same race, and even that was accidental.

This is the first game I've ever played online, so mine is all from GTA5. All I can think of is that your victims are too emotionally devastated by their encounters with you to even submit negative rep.

I'm exactly 50% on rep, so I'm twice as hateful as you, melraz. I have no idea how you don't have a bunch of negative rep, based on all the messages you get. I'd have figured your wife would log onto her account and find a shitload of negative rep from your fan club.

Found another use for the minigun last night - pissing people off. I was sitting on top of a building about two blocks from the guy we were targeting, when I spotted his shiny Turismo R sitting in the middle of the street. I never would have made the shot with the RPG, but the minigun worked nicely. The guy stuck around long enough to get one kill on me, then bailed. I need to work on my helicopter pilot skills. melraz, RUkered and I were in a map with four other people, and all 4 were in a Titan. I was chasing in a Frogger when they all bailed out downtown. I was really disappointed in myself for not being able to get even one of those 3 with the rotor blades.

minigun is useless against anything other than helicopters, at least to me. I might try it if we do LS Forum GTA, but that's about it. The fully upgraded combat machine gun, on the other hand, is my baby. melraz will take everybody out using only the heavy sniper. I bought every gun I didn't already have once I got the minigun. I got the achievement, then immediately dropped about a dozen of them. There was a giant pile of guns on the beach when I took off. I just wish the game wouldn't keep giving the Uzi back to me. If nothing else, the pistol deathmatches are making me much better at getting headshots. What pisses me off about those is when you only get a dozen bullets for the pistol, or when you you get a rocket launcher pickup with one rocket.

I think the paragon/renegade check for Tali's mission is really high, so it's one to save till the end of ME2. If you can, try doing as many other missions as possible first. If you're renegade enough, you can basically shout down the Admirals, telling them they should be kissing Tali's ass for saving the galaxy from the Reapers and Saren in ME1 - you don't even have to do the trial that way.

I never saw anybody on the other team in that LTS, including Dan - who was the person that got me. I'm assuming it was a sticky bomb I missed spotting. Highlight of the night was getting into a fistfight with Mark during that one GTA race, after we fell off our bikes at the same place. If we'd done LS Forum, we'd probably still be in the race. It would probably have turned into an impromptu deathmatch. On the deathmatch front, the game can go right to hell on team balancing. Dan, melraz and RUkered on one team, for every match? Really? We made some more friends after everybody took off. Ran off everybody on the server, except for one guy that we couldn't find, even though his dot was on the map. The reason became clear when I started getting run over by an invisible car. That's one glitch I haven't seen before. Does the game always keep your score vs other players from session to session? I got into it with somebody on Saturday. I blew up him and his car, and then he sniped me in return. The game showed I was up 12-3 on him, and I'm pretty sure that I'd only got him that one time, at least that night.

Yup - since I have always gotten the Geth and Quarians to have peace. But yeah - things you do in ME2 are critical to the process That's everything for ME2. Obviously then there are factors in ME3 to make it happen. Now... if you are playing as a pure paragon AND you are doing everything available to you - it will just happen naturally and you have nothing to worry about. But if you play a mix - make sure to check a guide because looking it over, this is probably one of the most complex things to do in the game I tried saving everybody twice as a pure renegade. Failed the first time, succeeded the second. The difference between the two was rewriting the heretics - I succeeded by wiping them out, for some reason. Tali's loyalty mission was fun on a renegade run. If you've been a big enough asshole, you can avoid the whole trial by shouting down the Admirals.

Fallout 3 is my favorite game of the 360/PS3 gen, but even I would readily concede that the characters and plot are pretty dull, with few exceptions.

Then you actually take him up on his invite and he's already left, stranding you in the Prison Thugs Fight lobby while someone's setting it up for 30 minutes with no kill limit. QUIT! QUIT! QUIT! (furiously mashes B button). I loved that Paintball Deathmatch 'cause the last time I played it (with Robert), I someone how managed to stay on the ground and snipe about 10 people until someone got angry at my dominance and launched about 500 RPGs my way. Made up for my being Virgil to Rippa's MIllion-Dollar Man in that deathmatch the other night. If we're not already in a party, then any deathmatch invites from me are just the game automatically relaying invites to whatever random match I've joined. They should be viewed with extreme prejudice. That said, I got a really good run of random matches last night, after my customary bailout on the starting duo of Ryan's Privates and Prison Thugz. Had a miracle comeback on the last one. We were down 59-54 with 45 seconds left in a 15 minute deathmatch, and came back to win 60-59. I just ran right at guys after everybody appeared on the map with 30 seconds left, and managed to take out 4.

I have only fired in proactive self defense. Noticed you didn't mention blowing poor, unsuspecting bastards up, though. I generally don't go after folks that haven't shot at me first. Of course, if there's an ongoing firefight, the innocent will get hit if they get too close. I have targeted people for having things like sniper or assassin in their names occasionally.

We were teachers last night, and the lesson was humility. Some level 380 guy somehow got into a room with stout, misanthrope, Herby and myself. Herby gets a bounty, so I head over and collect with my sniper rifle. Then I notice somebody standing right next to me that doesn't look like an NPC. Sure enough - before I can switch to a better gun, the guy shoots me. I'm assuming he was coming for Herby, and I just beat him. I got him 3 times in succession before everybody else showed up. Everybody took turns taking him out till he managed to hide again. Called mercenaries on him - they flushed him out for stout to finish off. Then misanthrope nailed him one last time with a sticky bomb on his way out of the session. Probably should have known that would happen in a room where everybody else is in the same crew. This damn game is taking advantage of my OCD nature. I'm frustratingly close to unlocking a bunch of things - level 120 for minigun, green tint for my shotgun, plus the hustler, scoped out and full metal jacket awards.

The Bullet has become my go to car in free mode. Not the fastest supercar, but fast enough to outrun everything except another super, and easier to drive than the others. I'd grab a Tailgater, but I've never seen one around. Stout likes to taunt me with his purple one, and by telling me how many he's found in the game. I'm stupid about cars, so when I had all the free money my brain looked at all the supercars, and said "Ooh! Shiny!". As a result I've got the Cheetah, Entity, Adder, Vacca, Infernus & Voltic, in addition to the Bullet. Only other cars I've got are the Baller, Mesa and Rapid GT. I'm thinking the Cheetah is about to leave to make room for a Turismo. Rapid GT is probably next on the list afterwards. I need a better sports car.

I've done the paintball deathmatch as a team match with ramdoms before, and it was fun then. Of course, it probably helped that I had better weapons than most anybody in that match. Can't really say how it was last night because that's when a heating pad exploded in our kitchen, spewing tiny, ceramic balls all over the damn house.
