My speed varies but is still about 17-14 download and 700 - 900 as the exchange is like 1km away.

The info I posted was from when Gears was first released as it was considered a selling point of the game as theoretically everyone had a chance to be on top of the leaderboard, unlike most games where it is the one Modder or at least the one with no life ( check out Battlefield2 leaderboards ) this was on these forums in the gears bit.

As the different speeds of my games as host this has always happened as the game tends to slow for the slowest connection. How this works I don't know but it happens alot that when someone leaves and is replaced it runs alot faster mostly....................................

Continuing on the subject of my info I had forgotten this stuff until I complained in a whinny voice in a game and it was explained to me over a cup of tea and biscuits .

Battlefield 2 does the same as it has 3 levels of ranked games depending on your .... ah......Rank

But then I could be wrong of course ....................... just don't tell me if I am.

 

Oh and I nearly wet myself laughing on Prey watching guys running around in their speedos

Welcome Calts pull up a bedpan & heres a glass for ya teeth. Lycan you now becomeing resident expert on all things forum technical (adds pocket protecter to christmas list).

Thanks to all who halo 2ed last night was a laugh and although i think it's probably a little dated now (like us all) i did manage to not come bottom of the list thanks to some valient dying by Broken Fairy.... Well off to see if Arsenal can win thier 1st trophy of the season.... 2am ESPN be there or well be asleep as any sane person would be

AHHH..I could almost relax to your soothing ways fish...but wait NO FOOT RUB!!?? tsk tsk parker you're getting slack

 as for arsenal...I'm red devils %100 hahaha and yes late nights are killing me too!

 Now lycan master of all things technical or anyone willing to offer their wisdom, how do you raise your reputation stars thingies?? ( I am a LIVE virgin, though not necessarily swet sixteen...ahh cant remember being sixteen haha)

 Now a stupid question again (I seem to be full of these )

I was trying to wait for a COD3 ranked game but I was only one in the lobby?? do I suck that much?? does no one else like to bath, sleep and eat in the gutter??  Or is it just that everyone else seems to be GOW..ing?

 your concerned senior citizen thanks you.....

 oh older women are great...they just age you faster

You're only as old as the woman ya feeling!!

100% red devils???? ahhhh allas living proof the with age comes senile dementia... for those that dont follow football the red devils are Man Unt the most hated team in all the land with thier evil lord Alex Furgeson they roam the premium division falling over crying about how the nasty men tripped them up and paying referees to let them win... so hated are the clan of manchester unt that the whole rest of the division have a song when they come to invade London... 'WHO THE F^&K R MAN UNITED'

Your star rating goes up when people review you as a player and give a possotive feedback cant help with COD3 as i dont play it but i think duck does so wait for him to offer some advice being a gold spandex wearing, pocket protecting, computer whizz level 2 yes that 2 wow how did he achieve that (Oi Microsoft weres my level 2?) member he should be able to help you if he cant email microsoft and tell them to take his level 2 away as hes not worthy

Ahh Ol' gunners dillusions of granduer...how the short time at the top has blinded you my son

 Where do you review players fish??

 ahh almost knockoff time...gotta love nightshift eh?....so while all you spandex tightening, triggerpulling fiends are about to wake off to bed I go....dont be jealous....some are meant to be born lucky

 

---

You're only as old as the woman ya feeling!!

One season winning a few and anyone would think man unt were untouchable (which unlike arsenal who can go a whole season without loosing man unt couldnt beat the gunners either home or away) typical man unt fan selective memory the lot of them

Did some night shifts myself a while back calts, can be great but i had friends that didnt seem to understand not to ring at 11am so sleeping become on a grab it when you can basis.. as to reviewing players if you click on a player online in a game will often say 'Rate this player' a possotive gives them more stars a negative less, however if you play a bit online you will see your stars go up providing nobody gives you a negative response... as for the spandex... well it should be noted to 90% of the world population like lycra it's a privalege not a right..

Morning All!!

 

It is Wednesday and I can't wait for this long weekend (WA - Labour Day).

 

I have to say that last nights sessions of GOW with Fish1470 & Baygon77 hosting went well. To you guys Thankyou.

 

However I got pwnd big time and I have let Betty down. 

 

Even now I am still licking my wounds, from inadvertently sticking to walls to being shredded, especially from Chainsaw Charlie's (Broken) performance which have resulted in me blurting out a few profanities which I humbly apologise.

 

Oh well you win some and you lose some.

 

Now I've got Betty giving me the silent treatment........

Thats becuase your licking your wounds and not Betty

Glad the hosting was ok for all cos i do feal for bygone & broken always being expected to host games for us motly crew (i know you dont mind guys but all the same if we can we should shre the burden)

As for last nights games I was doing ok on the whole till the eyelids started to let go and well in short everyone better than i am joined the game

So in follow up to the who are you post (see the previous pages if your just joining us)...

The blind date approach to getting to know you all...

This is Fish, he enjoys listening to music, painting LOTR figures (oh god i sound like a geek), reading & travelling (will be absent without leave during 1st 2 weeks of april going to london to see my little lad) When online fish enjoys getting blown to bits, chopped into little pieces & crashed into at high speeds. Fish does not enjoy sharing games with 12 year old americans, sharing games with anyone racist or narrow minded, sharing games with anyone worse at GOW than he is... so bit of luck i never have to put up with the last one. Fish runs his own buisness with Wendoureecat where she fixes cars and he wears the short skirt, types letters and sleeps with the boss... alas then i woke up and it had all been a wonderfull but somwhat strange dream where i ended up looking like Tim Curry from rocky horror picture show... Must take meds now and lay in darkened room

Calts - your stars will rise in time young one, people only give negative feedback so don't p!ss to many 12years off and you'll be 5 starring in no time.

Stick with player matches on COD3, nothing worse than sitting in a room by yourself. Or just suffer the lag of ranked.

 

Sk - Betty has had her poor trigger over stimulated, or maybe the "indians were in town" and she needed some time alone

 

MrFish - a work mate asked me to ask you how Ar$e-n-all went against Chelsea? I think I just heard your head pop off 

I'll jump in tonight peoples if you on, been needing some nights with the gal. Not nice to send her to bed by herself everynight while I play box

 

What up niggaz!!!!!!

Shoulda just said that hey fish? At least your head would still be attached

Now where is the fun in that ?

The odd negative feedback is worth it for taking down the little troppo's of this world.

 

(Poor buggers name will live in infamy as meaning "Young punk whose @ss needs kicking")

To be honest calts i dont chelsea know how to win with dignity or grace and im not sure that man united know how to loose to the better side (see both times they have played arsenal this season) without blaming everything from the ref to global warming to hide the fact they basicly aint that good

So GOW ranked last night well my oh my i got a few kills in even managed the final kill statment, also played my 1st two games in the Fifa07 leagues ( a stunning 2-1 win followed by an awfull 2-0 loss) but last night saw me join the growing ranks of dads army reliving thier childhoods by running around pretending to be Luke Skywalker.. yes the fish has picked up a copy of star wars lego 2 and got to say anyone looking for a little light hearted gaming GET THIS NOW. Having said that i picked it up following seeing Hillman and ducks lame attempt at getting achievements only to find hillman at least (sorry duckie aint checked yours) has gone on somewhat of a rampage sweeping lego stromtroopers aside like locust's on casual

Live In The Moment Or You'll Never Be Free

I think they need to make some achievements for people like me like

"Play so bad that people let you kill them out of sympathy"

or "Miss another blatantly easy shot on your opponent in a sneak attack only to have them turn around and kill you instead"

Whubbs Im with you on this.... you should come play online with threefish, bayg's, the duck meister, jackell etc etc.... at least then you and i can have a comp where they leave us alone and we have to kill one another... although i think they may get bored with every game ending in a draw

 

& thats another new page for me now microsoft.... WHERES MY LVL 2???????

Live In The Moment Or You'll Never Be Free

I'm lucky they don't make games where you can shoot yourself... cos seriously that would happen alot...and I mean alot.

I try but I don't know if I'm still too young or just so old that I never on xbox at that time during a weekday

Hmmmmmmm.......Think I'll have to get in touch with Mr Gates about your inability to rank up in the forum Fish. Don't worry us level 2's have direct access to his home phone.

I hope it happens soon because I can't hold your chair up near the fire for much longer. I even spilled beer on it last night so people would stop asking if the seat is taken!

 

Oh I didn't realise you lived next door to me either?

You're only as old as the woman ya feeling!!

Ladies and Gents. Can't play tonight (got 'home duties') so I thought I would put up a friends only, dedicated R6 Vegas server. I'll run Sharpshooter, so feel free to jump in at leisure, send out invites etc, etc. It's not ranked, but at least you'll avoid unwanted lag and young whipper snappers who think they're Chuck Norris. Enjoy!

Reduce your carbon (and gastrointestinal) emissions.

It's official.........MrFish has handed the "I'm always last" trophy to the Duck. I'm gonna try white wine next week

 

Good luck Fish with the quitting, even if you'd smoked 2 packs a day you only ever need to give up one ciggy at a time. Its been 8 months for me and it's the best thing I've ever done, do it for your kid and more importantly do it for yourself.

Maybe they link the quit website to this thread

 

Jeez I can be deep.............yes ducks do dribble

What if the Hokey Pokey IS what it's all about?

Thanks Duckster & everyone from last night, Im gonna probably be around a lot over the next few weeks trying to keep busy, but last night was one of the best nights I have had on live.... If anyone see's Killshot tell him he's a girl who needs to toughen up and stop laying on the floor bleeding

 

As for the coming last trophy duck treassure that its a noble award but dont get to attatched cos either not smoking is gonna make me worse than i was before or the drive for nicotine will turn me into a one man killing machine whos shotgun makes betty look like a water pistol

Ok kids this is a meaningless rescue post to stop us from falling into the dark world of page 2!

I know you'll all be back at work tomoz and post then but sh!t weez at the bottom now and no one ever looks at page 2?

Socks up boys and sh!t talk away?

I can't afford a rescue campaign to get Bayges away from GoW ranked (keep ya pistol in ya pants) and MrFish from the dark dark depths of Lego Star Wars.

 

Oh and a big congratulations to the Kelly boys in Adelaide! No cheating either Tripl8, lowndesy did all the mistakes yourself, hehehehehhehehehe!

Awesome news. Worked out that when I'm 51, my son will be 18. Can't be that bad being old if you can still cut sikk in multiplayer shooters. Go Stretch56! Tell your dad he's a legend and can join in anytime with us old blokes.
