Hey Butler, you still having trouble connecting to Xbox Live? Cos I think I know the problem with mine, something to do with an old modem which can't handle the new NTL network. I hope this sorts everything out, I'm losing all my good rep on the torrent sites because I can't f**king seed them.

I went to bed at 5PM yesterday after staying up for 24 hours, hoping I would sleep through all the night. Well, I woke up at 11PM yesterday, watched a bit of Alias while having a very late dinner, and drifted in and out of sleep until about 5AM before falling off completely. I hate sleeping through the day, especially in the holidays when I have money to spend.

Our gamer thing is ''Berwick01'' if anyone wants to add.

ChodaBoy 12-27-2006 11:28 AM

Although its not free, since i will charge you

Are you going threw the telebox or threw a modem?

I dont use the telebox you see, and one time my internet just stopped for a week, and then we found out its because the NTL box was an old one, and as far as i know, the one we have is still the latest one.

Mexican Bandito 12-27-2006 11:58 AM

yeah so, I just heard that a girl I was quite close to a few years back has just had a baby... thing is, she had no idea she was pregnant and thought she just had a kidney infection o.O

lol?

Through a modem, we don't even have NTL digital.

Ah right.

Somethings wrong with mine for sure. They said run it without the router for a day and ring back, but its not that simple, my bro uses his pc a lot and its always online, so i cant just cut it off.

And i never have a full day to sit here watching my connection breaking.

Kif 12-27-2006 12:13 PM

I just hope that this sorts everything out. I've had bad experience with NTL customer service, to the point where I actually called one of their staff retarded. If this doesn't fix it, we are moving to BT I think.

Where on NTL for the TV and Phone primarily, i cant see my mum changing over. when i move out in summer itll all be ok, but i don't want to wait that long to play games online/on live.

Argh, i think ill go straight to my PC tomorrow, i hope its not my router :(

When i got it i had 1mb broadband, i cant help thinking that this one cant handle 4mb that well, but i cant see that tbh.

Kif 12-27-2006 12:20 PM

We can't even get 4MB here in Lincoln yet I don't think, the most we can get is 2MB. Which suits me fine, I download it decent speeds for what I get and uploading isn't that big a deal to me.

God I hope this gets fixed, I haven't been on Xbox Live in about 5 months.

Untitled 12-27-2006 12:22 PM

I havnt in ages.

Well, me and adam tried to have a game of Rainbow 6 Vegas, but i kept getting kicked. And me and my other mate tried to play Star wars - Empire at war, and Companey of heros, both games disconnected 10 minutes into them.

Kif 12-27-2006 12:27 PM

That's what happens to me. The real kick in the balls is that I'm still paying for Xbox Live every month. I think when this gets sorted I'll switch to paying yearly though since that will save me £20.

That reminds me I still haven't played F.E.A.R. yet. I should get on that, but I'm addicted to Gears. Bah!

I'm downloading a 3MB program and it's going at 14kb/s :lol:

ChodaBoy 12-27-2006 12:32 PM

I remember back in the day of dial-up, when it took 30 minutes to download 1 song, now it takes a few minutes to download 400mb

Im typing superfast now as i just finished a fast game of tetris

I dont have live atm, i played on a demo. Im not gonna buy it agian untill its sorted.

I dunno whether to by Gears, i proberly wont tbh.

Argh, i still need to finish dead rising, ive done 3 cases, still pretty much 3 days to wait lol. The problem is, playing it on a 15 inch or so portable tv, which is a few years old, means I cannot for the life of me, read any of the text on the screen, so i end up running about goign "what am i supposed to eb doing........"

When i buy my 2nd PC monitor, i might run my 360 threw that from time to time.

Kif 12-27-2006 12:43 PM

Haha I read about that problem with TVs. Have you tried using your computer monitor at the moment?

And really, you should get Gears. I didn't think it would be as amazing since I am not a big shoot 'em up fan. But wow, that game still amazes me. It's £34.99 at Blockbusters too, which is awesome.

I still need to send back Quake 4 to flirt rental so I can get a new game sent.

I might rent Gears, that site you linked me too looks good for that. I dunno if its a game i would like, if i rent and like, ill buy, maybe.

I havnt used my Monitor yet, i would of but i need an adapter, or a new lead to plug it into my monitor that's not a scart.

I could plug it into the AVI slot things in the back of my PC, but i dunno how i would view the image.

trysthedrummer 12-27-2006 02:26 PM

So I got my arse kicked on gears. My brother showed me how it was done :p I use my monitor too

Im on rainbow six more really. Il add you then mr choda

Patrick O))) 12-27-2006 02:27 PM

Gears > owt

'sup :cool:

trysthedrummer 12-27-2006 02:45 PM

Has anyone seen the new Carcraft ad? That little feller is funny! hehehe

yeah that happened to me one time.

AG 12-27-2006 03:28 PM

The Carcraft ad is awfull. The one with the stupid lady toy is more crap though.


/mario kart

Dead Star 12-27-2006 05:10 PM

I've never seen that advert

Kif 12-27-2006 07:17 PM

[url]http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=carcraft&search=Search[/url]

It's quite depressing someone took the time to capture that ad and then upload it to Youtube.

Untitled 12-27-2006 07:41 PM

For the best deals on use automobiles.
Carcraft of rochdaleee.

Local radio version for the win.

I cant sleep :( I might go on the 360, but i cant be arsed on any of my games atm, im still looking for a game to completely absorb me.

Kif 12-27-2006 08:02 PM

I can't get to sleep either. I think it's the holidays, it does things to my sleep patterns.

Untitled 12-27-2006 08:10 PM

I did my self in last night, i sat up till 3 am watching ross noble dvds, so i wake up later today, so now im not tired, argh.

Kif 12-27-2006 08:28 PM

Ross Noble, nice. I saw him this year, he was awesome.

I'm watching Two Pints on UKTV2. It even has that guy in the corner doing sign language. There is literally nothing on TV.

Untitled 12-27-2006 08:36 PM

I love two pints, its ace.

I have kerrang radio on, but its realy quiet.

I have mcflys new album on my pc now though.

Ive been contemplating setting up my old pc, then linking it to my 360, copying all my music over from there, and then copying it onto this pc, i dunno if i should though, it might have viruses or something.

I might get a sandwich too.

Jev 12-28-2006 04:18 AM

kerrang radio is terrible

Untitled 12-28-2006 04:47 AM

Meh, its a lot better then the TV channel.

I have such a bad cough, i don't cough much, but when i do its sooooo heavy and painful :( I hope im not getting ill.

Kif 12-28-2006 05:18 AM

Kerrang is terrible. Period. But yeah, the radio station is better than the TV channel.

I (Read: My uncle) rang up NTL today, they are sending an engineer to "come fix my modem" a week from now, which is literally impossible thanks to NTL's new network. So I should be getting a new modem when he comes round, touch wood.

Untitled 12-28-2006 05:27 AM

Yeah, i just read your message on XboxLive, well not live im logged onto the webpage bit.

Im gonna go into Bury i think, im quite sure my mum is, so i might go buy Cricket2007 for the PC, depending on price.

trysthedrummer 12-28-2006 05:49 AM

[quote=AG;13898693]The one with the stupid lady toy is more crap though.[/quote] Thats the one! Theres no new advert for carcraft on youtube. Yeah, hes the mario man!!

So Im bored. Off out soon though

And what the hell is all that under your name and such? And mine probably but it ain all showing. Its like picture boxes when they dont show up theres a cross to the left.

Kif 12-28-2006 06:10 AM

It just means his avatar didn't load for you for some reason.

2muchket! 12-28-2006 06:18 AM

Watched Paddy McGuinness's tour DVD last night. Not as funny as Phoenix Nights or Max and Paddy's road to nowehere. Still it's alright in places like.

trysthedrummer 12-28-2006 06:42 AM

Yeah but all your avatars where loaded up, it was beneath where it says "location" etc, quite a few of them.

Dead Star 12-28-2006 07:01 AM

ChodaBoy 12-28-2006 10:04 AM

Because he poisoned all NTL techies in the country
