Got a question ... didn't wanna start a new thread ... sort of related here, so ...

My Xbox live renewal is up next month, & I have already purchased another of those punch in code things.

Just wondering if I type in the numbers now, will it renew for another 12 months from today or will it be added onto the end (& should I wait?).

As far as I know, you can enter it whenever and it gets tacked onto the end of your current subscription.

It has very weird but likeable characters. It has a great sense of humour too (no less was expected from the makers of Cloning Clyde).

I am enjoying this. It does seem a little short.

I played one online game with a guy, but he quit early <grrr>

Well, I had that too yesterday evening. I suddenly noticed that one of my bugs could push, so I maneuvered my guys so that I could push his Barbarian in the water. For some reason, he didn't realized that he still had his push-bug who could push my bug in the water, and he simply hit me. So I push bug number two in the water, and then I outnumbered him. I only had a healer to smash...

And then I received the "Congratulations! You win because the other player disconnected." I checked the leaderboard whether this 'win' was a real 'win' but I noticed I was only ranked on the 'Mystery leaderboard'.

I am taking my time playing the game (resisting the urge to do everything in one setting). I might try out the mapmaker during the weekend... (that is if I manage to resist Forza 2... Gotta catch 'em all!

).

Carcassone this week apparently:

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/c/carca ... ivearcade/

I really like this version, the interface is really well done, and it takes a lot less time to finish a game than Catan, and cause the scoring isn't done until the end there's less chance of people dropping out cause they're not doing well.

See you online folks

Flabio · Post by **Flabio** » Fri Jun 29, 2007 12:29 pm 0

Well, it seems my months headstart from playing Carcassone on partnernet mean I have a sizeable advantage over the people I was playing ranked games against last night.

If anyones up for a few friendly games of it over the weekend, let me know...

The new Rainbow Six Black edition maps are now available for FREE. They were up for 800 points originally - then vanished, then reappeared for nowt. 700Meg - I think that's pretty generous.

Yeah, they do. And I might be tempted if I hadn't played Missile Command a thousand-bajillion-squillion times since I was eight. I love Missile Command, but if I never play it again in my life, thats fine with me.
