  1. The reason why that works to fix the RRoD is because first they clean it, then they add some washers to the heat sink screws, and then they overheat it to repair the soldering. This only fixes, it doesn't prevent. Not to mention that if you do it wrong you have to buy a new x-box because doing what they showed in the video voids your warranty. Doing what's shown in the video is a "final stand" technique. That means, if you don't have a warranty (because you mod, bought your x-box from a pawn shop, etc.) and have tried everything else, this is the last thing you can try. Taking apart your x-box should be avoided as much as possible simply because it's an expensive piece of machinery and if you aren't careful, you will have to buy a new one. The ONLY time you should even consider taking your X-Box apart is if it no longer works. Going to say it one more time for good measure: NEVER TAKE YOUR X-BOX 360 APART TO TRY TO PREVENT A RRoD!
  2. Is it just me or does Cortana look like a teenager? lol Seriously though, can't wait for this game to come out >.<
  3. Try redownloading the map-pack. That usually does the trick. If that doesn't work, then install your disc to your harddrive and try it again. Sorry I can't be of more help
  4. Granted, but they were dirty and you got a rash. I wish that I could be omnipotent.
  5. What you COULD do with the shoutbox is remove it and embed Chatango or a similar program :3 Or you could look at the coding that they did for frostwire chat (or similar IRC programs) and use that Takes care of the color thing.
  6. LMAO I'm already the first one xD I'd like to give the second one a try lmao WYR eat a frag grenade or a plasma grenade?
  7. I recommend Turtle Beaches as well. They have surround sound, a mic (with mute ability), and volume control for both game and chat Also, I have the X-11's, which while they have a lot of wires, are pretty durable and don't take batteries
  8. Did you know that The Director directs other Directors to direct other people's directions? xD
  9. Did you know that Dr. Halsey kidnapped a Spartan once? xD
  10. I hope that whatever you have to focus your energy on doesn't take too long We'll miss you around here quite a bit
  11. Um... welcome to the forum... This is not the place for this, and there is already a thread for this lol Plus, this is a community forum, if you want an official place halo.xbox.com would be the place for that Anyways, hope you stick around.
  12. Introduction: Pretty much what this is going to be is me telling you about some good games that you might not have even heard of. I'll try to do these as often as possible, but no promises. Maybe bi-monthly, maybe monthly. Here's how it will work. I'll tell you what platform it's for (Computer, Xbox, PS3, and whatnot) then I'll rate it (1-10 with 1 being a stinker and ten being impossible because I'm VERY picky), and then I'll tell you what the game is about. Alright, now on to the first game. Mount and Blade (Warband) Platform: Computer The Director's Rating: 9/10 (-1 for graphics, they aren't as good as they probably could have been, but what do I know?) This is technically a two for one, because Warband is an expansion of sorts. The original game was released "Mount and Blade" and featured some really cool gameplay styles. Firstly, it's an RPG. But it's probably unlike any RPG you've ever played. It's set in medieval times, you have character customization, and you can select your characters "backstory" which effects just about everything you start out with in the game. It is non-linear, and you can do nearly anything you want to do. See a village who's name you don't like? Burn it. A king being kind of an arse to you? Go to war with him and steal his kingdom. You get to hire troops, followers (aka generals), and even take prisoners if you feel so inclined. This game is amazing. Combat: The combat in this game is set in third person (but you can go to first person if you'd like) and features melee, ranged, and cavalry attacks. That's right, you can fight on a horse. How cool is that? Really cool, that's how cool. Weapons/armor: The weapons in this game are varied. There are multiple types of melee weapons with different effects (like bonuses against armor or shields), multiple types of shields, multiple armors, etc. This game has the most varied arsenal I've personally ever seen. The weapons range from swords to lances, from arrows to javelins, the list goes on. You can equip up to 4 different types of weapons (3 if you equip a shield). Oh? You're wondering about the lances? That's right, you can act like a knight and joust people. Awesome, right? Horses: They have several different types of horses in this game that are suited for different play-styles. You plan on being that guy who charges head on into the enemy on your horse? Get yourself an armored one. Are you more interested in speed? Grab yourself a fast one. You want a fast horse that can take some hits? They've got that too! Map Movement: The map movement is similar to how you move troops in strategy games. It's eagle view, and you click to travel. When you get to your destination, the game pauses automatically so time doesn't pass while you are deciding where to go next. Worried about not finding anyone to fight with? Don't be. There are raiders and such wandering around the map looking for fools to take their gold. Worried about fighting too much? Get a large enough amount of troops with you and they will flee in terror before your might. Skills: EVERYTHING in the game is based on what skills you have (and don't have). From combat to movement speed on the world map, I'm not exaggerating when I say that if you can do it (except cheat) then there is a skill for it. Synopsis: This game is VERY in depth. There is almost no limit to how you play it. Want to become a king? You can do it. Want to be a lord? You can do it. Want to be a wandering mercenary? You can do it. I've spent days and days at a time on this game, and I have yet to repeat an experience (except the dialogue, it can be repetitive just like any game). The game is open ended, non-linear, and very very good. Oh, and did I mention there are cheat codes? Which makes it even more fun. The Director's Recommendation: Get this game. You can get it on Steam (or just google search Mount and Blade Warband and see what you come up with ). It's a relatively cheap game for how much time was obviously spent in making it. I also recommend getting Mount and Blade Warband instead of the regular Mount and Blade, because as I said before Warband is sort of an expansion. Put it this way. Mount and Blade is the original game, M&B Warband is the game with all of the DLC. That wraps up the first of these. If you have a recommendation for a game that I should review, then let me know in the comments (I follow all of my threads ;D). Remember though, if it's a hyped up game then I won't do it. "Lesser Known" is in the title after all. Hope you enjoy your time in the world of games. Update: New Menu thread.
