Can I ask - how did you get that running with the 60Hz bug? (Or were you on an SD TV at the time.)

I can't actually remember which way around it was - but over the years i've only ever used a component cable or a VGA cable to run my 360, both of which would have connected to the old Samsung HD TV as it had inputs for both.
Is it possible that I got it working by using the VGA cable maybe? Or maybe I just flicked the switch on the component lead and ran it in standard def? Not sure which to be honest - I seem to remember it looking pretty crisp so I don't think it's the latter.
If you're desperate to know then i'll try firing it up tonight and see what happens (the 360 is currently using a VGA lead to an old 17" Dell monitor).

Nice to see a few recent ones in there. I got that Rage one about a week ago. -
I didn't read it properly, but there is an article about what I assume is achievement boosting on the BBC website today. The lengths some people go to!
-
I used three of those techniques when I was boosting "Seriously" on Gears of War...

Two biggies for me in the last two days:
Today - Storyteller in Batman Arkham City. This is the really annoying achievement where you have to talk to Calendar Man on particular dates for 12 months. I did it completely legitimately, with no clock-doctoring. What a mug. It's only worth 10gs. (It was fairly painless as long as I remembered the dates, which I almost didn't a couple of times.)
Yesterday - Active Skater in Skate 2. Teamed up with another player from TA to do this. 149/149 online challenges, similar to BO:P, some of which were really difficult. Very pleased to get this one, this late in the life of the game. Again, only worth 20gs, but a decent ratio. Only one more to get to clear up the main game, but I'm not even half way. -
Limited gaming time? Funny how you seem to be on every time I log in hmmmm?! And your lead will be shortlived - I'll be competing Crysis in the coming weeks!
MireMare quit the 360 a little while back - he's mainly PC and WiiU now.

If they reset the achievements score they will catch a lot of flak and will give people more reason to switch to the PS4.
As it stands there are a lot of people (myself probably included) that feels the ties to the cheevo score attained just in the same way some stayed with world of warcraft far longer than they should have due to the virtual things they had.
That probably doesn't make sense and I can give no real explanation why without sounding like a complete spod (which I am) but if they reset gamerscores then they will lose some consumers. -
I was chatting to Morgan about this at Matt's wedding on Saturday. It's a big call for them to make. I wonder whether they'll be a partial reset so that you get evidence of 'prestige' - a different badge for !0k increments or something like that. Or maybe a straightforward migration.
For me, they've become little markers and memories of the game. Some of the ones in Half Life 2 - not touching the sand in the for one - sum up both the invention of the designers in doing achievos properly, and the invesment put in to attaining them. -
They can do what they like with mine. Of more pressing concern is whether I try to get the failing drive in mine fixed, or replace the 360 with a slim, or shitcan it and wait for the new console.

ESY said:Halo Reach legendary on single player - MS better not take that away from me!
Chipping away at that myself - I might frame it if I can do it. My 'No Collisions' moment.

I’d like to see a gamer score similar to the way true achievements works, so those obscure or difficult achievements get a higher value compared to easy achievements.
For instance, if a thousand people have played a game and only two people manage to get one of the achievements, the score of that achievement should be really big. But as more people start to get it, the score gradually drops. -
You don't seem to have passed MireMare's gamerscore, unless the TA leaderboard is wrong. You've passed their TA scores, and that might have been helped by the recent re-rating of DLC achievements, which wouldn't have taken any actual time (although it could have favoured either side.)mogwins said:Huh. Despite limited gaming time, I seem to have passed the gamerscores of former-professional-Achievement whores kentish and MireMare.
-
Ah right. I just looked at the default Rodent leaderboard on the TA website... As I said above, I don't actually give a hoot about Gamerscore (though I do find Achievements a little too satisfying, to the point where I play games I've lost interest in for longer than I probably should). But any chance to goad Andy must be seized upon. It's one of the T&Cs of Rodent membership.
-
I rise above it Moggers. Ankles permitting.

I have three achievements left in Burnout Paradise, all involving online challenges. I might try to do the Smurf Island ones this afternoon, with randoms, and I think I just need to complete the two-player and three-player blocks to get the other two. If anyone fancies helping out, let me know. I can usually be on at 8pm most weekdays, and any time at the weekend. It'd be nice to stop relying on EA's servers for another game.

Cool. I've just set up a TA session for the island challenges tomorrow night, but is Tuesday at 8 ok for you?
I did all 50 8-player challenges yesterday, and it took about 3 hours, but I'm hoping the 2-player ones will be less trouble.
Change of plans, TV is playing up so I can't get on the xbox.
-
And that's the lot, for Burnout Paradise. All achievements got.
Pushing on to 500/500 challenges for that last car is probably more than I can bear, though.
Also saw the credits in NFSMW last night, but still a bit to do, there. This should probably be in the completed thread really, but I couldn't be arsed to find it. -
Ah stunt runs...fuck that
Howdy, Stranger!
