Oh yeah? I'm at like 10.9 power, 11.2 Accuracy, 11.5 putting, and 3.9 Short game. Every time I get it over a 7, I get docked like 4 whole points after a single round of golf.

they are preparing for a whole new dashboard and tons of new features. it might be the biggest update MS has put out to date. they are also getting ready for Netflix online service through the xbox.

so you didn't hear about this update? i know you have been away but have you been living under a rock, J/K?

just do a search and look up the XBOX Live fall update 2008 and look for the links that include netflix. MS put out a email over the weekend and it pretty much broke down why the system is down.

you know what here is a link to check out the info.

I was thinking the EXACT same thing!

I need a job that affords me the ability to be that concerned with Live being down for a day and still maintain a 20 line gear list.


So are you still setting up home networks for Tiger Woods and Dwayne Wade bb?

haha funny funny.

mock me all you want because you know i never once said that. also i sent you a site to check on to see for yourself on that whole tech thing. guess you never bothered to check it out.

sorry your job doesn't pay so well that you are having issues aquiring the gear you really want. how's those Bose speakers you were pimping on this site not to long ago?

BTW my dad can beat up your dad, well maybe not but i'm sure he would act like he could anyways.

Yeah. I usually play on LIVE after work but since I can't do that for another 2 hours, I'll probably watch a Blu Ray or actually play some of these PS3 games that are still sealed... Warhawk, Lair... Eye of lameness...err... Judgment.

Probably play Warhawk or Hot Shots Golf... maybe kick the soccer ball around the lobby and ask some chicks if they want to cyber hump.

Man, I've had this game for months unopened. Been avoiding playing it since...

1. I know I'll suck for a while.
2. There is no single player.
3. I'm not sure how the online works... but if there is a beginners lobby, I'm afraid someone who is really good will come in and just destroy me then send me off like a little punk bitch.

WarHawk is a game that's fun even if you suck. I suck at most online shooters, but still have a good time playing warhawk.

There's just so many angles you can take.

I think it's supposed to be for the dashboard update coming up soon, I don't have a box so I'm not too sure about that though.

It took me a month to get comfortable with winning...and knowing exactly how to win. I'm still not very good. If 32 people are playing in a game, I'm now typically ranked between 7-15. I really only got involved in this game about 4 months ago. This is now the game I play the most of until Little Big Planet comes out Oct 21st.

Yeah Tiger is really pissing me off lately. I will get everything up pretty high then play somewhere windy and all my stats drop. I am at the point I am getting bored with it. I will probably finish the season pick up whatever easy achievements I stumblr across and be done with it

I also agree, warhawk is a fun title but gets old fast if your not playing with people who have headsets, it doesnt help in setting up a team strategy when you cant talk to someone.. Other than that, it is fun to be able to jump in a hawk, tank, turret, jeep or just run around like a bad ass...
