We just hit a new #XboxLIVE record: Over TWO MILLION people connected to the service at once.

That had nothing to do with MW2 being released this week I am almost certain. heh

Think what it would have been if they hadn't banned all those modded xbox users.

Looks like XBox is trying to have their own Kevin Butler (sort of)

God that ad stunk.

Anybody play the Tropico 3 demo? I saw it on the marketplace and downloaded it. Pretty sweet, you get to play as a dictator over a tropical island.

Well, I've finally joined the next gen club after eeking out every last bit from my old Xbox and PS2. Girlfriend came home with an Elite as a Christmas present (sorry Tiny, I wasn't opposed to the PS3 in any form but the girl did bring back a game console. Can't complain about that.)

I imagine once I power through my bullshit management finals and sales presentations large chunks of my life will be stolen by FIFA 10 and Mass Effect 2. I'll upload my live account name when I get it up and running towards the end of the month.

Bought L4D2 at Gamestop. They were running a special which was $20 off.

So, far so good. It is leaps and bounds better than the first. And I really liked the first.

My next purchase.

Christmas for me. I'm surprised that the standard price pretty much everywhere is $40, the game hasn't even been out a month.

Hurry and get the game bitches, so we can co-op it.

What are the major improvements over the first? I've only played L4D a bit but I was a big fan.

I've only played through the first 3 stages in one of the chapters. It feels more fluid to me. I also love the dialogue in this one moreso than the first. They also have like, a laser eye you can put on any weapon -- it's supposed to increase accuracy. They've also got more, better weapons, IMO.

L4D2 is gonna be an Xmas present this year.

The Campaigns are a lot better as well... more varied and more difficult
