I found that video to be very interesting, it's a demonstration video of Xbox Live back in 2002 when it was in beta, the reason I find the video very interesting is because the game they use to demonstrate the features of Xbox Live is Re-Volt. The Xbox port of Re-Volt was in development and a beta version of the game was sent to all Xbox Live beta testers. Sadly the developers went under before they could release the full version of the game and thus the version shipped to the beta testers was the only version of the Xbox Port of Re-Volt we ever got to see.

I recently read a list of the top 10 rare game collectables of the last generation and the Xbox Live Beta disc with Re-Volt on it was listed as number 1. From what I can see in the video, the port seems absolutely perfect when compared to the original PC version. It even features better menu's than the PC version to.

People have distributed the game digitally and from what I can gather, you need a modified Xbox with the copy protection disabled (so you can play the game from the disc it's burnt to). Obviously the game is no longer playable online but you can play single player and people have reported that there are a couple of graphical glitches and one of the tracks crashes the game.

Ahh, back when Xbox Live was all about games and not multimedia :/

This seems a bit pretentious on my behalf but I thought it clever and thought I'd share it. Enjoy.

I had to write a poem about Easter. I ran out of time at the end, so the last lines are a bit rubbish.

A man by the codename of CHRIST
Is famous for having died twice.
He appeared to his friends
With holes in both hands,
Despite passing the previous night.

Oh, the Romans did not give a toss
As he suffered away on that cross.
But the Lord, in his way,
Had meddled that day
And left those poor guards at a loss,

For Christ's mortal frame,
Whilst appearing the same,
Was apparently without life or soul.
So a guard who was near
Gave a jab with his spear,
But left only a great bloody hole.

For the spirit of that preacher most blessed
Had been divinely repossessed.
So by way of a grave,
He was dumped in a cave
And left his friends somewhat distressed.

Three days to the minute went by.
But then a Heavenly chorus did cry,
As the Lord's only child
Stood up and smiled...
Which is quite hard to do when you've died.

Now that's all very fine,
But the passage of time
Has rendered our Easters much changed;
Now more about gluts
Of eggs and chocolate
Than the King of the Jews once estranged.


So now, this seasonal cloy
Of new life, and bunnies, and joy.
This springtime bouquet,
A more secular day,
Must God-fearers surely annoy.


THE END

is that meant to be serious or is it a joke?

The square root of -1 is i, 2 cubed is 8 (I don't get the next bit) and pi = pie.
i 8 pie.

i 8 pie.

That's Sigma, I think.


Wings of Fire 03-16-2012 11:32 PM

Capital sigma is the summation digit in mathematics, basically it means 'All of the' in this context.

Varrok 03-17-2012 01:42 AM

The correct answer is:

"I 8 sum pi"

Dynamithix 03-17-2012 03:34 AM

This is great.


MeechMunchie 03-17-2012 04:54 AM

"I ate all the pie" ... and it was good.

(i 8 total of pi)

Looks excellent graphically but the story seems like the same old 'discover ancient ruins, unleash death and destruction once you figure it out' plot. Been there, done that. Won't get any better if you put space ships in it.

I think the Space Shits would be the icing on the cake.

I'm hungry :(

Or any worse. It's a good story, just rehashed mythology like everything else.

God, that last part is so true. I absolutely hate rage comics. And what in the hell is up with the "le" thing?!

That's the unfunny faggotry that comes from 9Gag (moar like 9Fag miright?)

Anyway: On The 1st of May, don't expect to use Facebook.



As stated: It's going to take little effort, well no shit! They. Have. Thousands of people that can do this at once.

Crashpunk 03-20-2012 01:14 PM

So true. I've always hated the Rage comics, Trollface and all that shit. It's just a lazy way to tell a joke nowadays and they are barely funny and I completely agree with The Simpsons going down hill. It's terrible now. I did like Green day in The Simpsons Movie though, made me smile :)

One of my favorite moments was back when Wikileaks lost support from PayPal, Amazon etc.

A massive DDoS attack was aimed at PayPal’s servers, which slowed to a crawl.

Then they turned their attention on Amazon, which just didn’t budge.

Then they gave up and went after Mastercard or some shit.

And Facebook has money and people who are paid to prevent (on their own) what Anonymous needs droves of brainless children to try at. Not that it matters anyway. They've never accomplished anything of note before.

Everyone else: 1
Anonymous: 0. Always 0.

I was originally going to make a 'when pigs fly' joke but I couldn't figure out how to make it work with this clip.

Also this one is a good clip too.

Mr. Bungle 03-21-2012 04:13 AM

Classic Simpsons. Can't beat 'em.






Crashpunk 03-21-2012 09:28 AM

"Oh no, my brains" Classic.

sheridanm962 03-21-2012 12:15 PM

Actually that's what Anonymous stated in the video, that they're no longer going to bulshit the public with their attempts that weren't planned well, The video you see has a more darker tone and that you can tell they mean business.

Instead of jumping to conclusions lets see what happens, I don't care who's wrong or right so long as something does or something doesn't happen I'm happy.



On November 15th TYLER will be out of Beta (impregnable to censorship) And then they plan to leak it all.... I hope that happens but allot of people I have told are already shitting their pants about the whole Facebook thing.

It's just information from here I don't actually know weather this is going to happen or not, well just see. And if you were wrong that doesn't matter, we are equal, it won't matter.

OANST 03-21-2012 12:17 PM

Anonymous is a bunch of boring crybabies, and I don't care.

Mr. Bungle 03-21-2012 12:22 PM

Yeah. Bunch of weeaboo faggots who think they're hardcore 'cause they use a pitch-shifter.
