I've been having a lot of connection problems with my 360 lately. So many that on most fight nights I have had to defer the hosting to someone else in the gang. If it hasn't been games crashing it's been people not being able to join... But something good came out of it. We suspected that maybe Gears 2 was just too "heavy" for my meagre swedish broadband and decided to run Gears 1 up the flagpole for a bit of a retro night. And it was good. We enjoyed ourselves so much that it's become a regular thing again. Friday nights is Gears 2 fight night and we've returned Gears 1 to the top spot on Saturdays. Friday night was fun. Jaded Diamond and A Scabby Gash joined us regulars for a bit of random "noob bashing". They considered us the noobs but I think I got in a couple of good uns. Saturday was Gears 1 and me bruv Millwall4ever was guest host this week after NWRipper owned us all last week. We "coughed" host advantage so many times he got annoyed and said he'd never host again just to prove us all wrong. :) Offline I've been clearing up the cheevos on The Bourne Conspiracy. Mrs. Lefty bought this for me as a suprise one day because I've seen all the films and read all the books and at first I hated it... might have had something to do with me starting it on the hardest difficulty setting. See, the cheevos are stacked so if I'd finished it on the hardest one the two lesser levels would also have been mine mine mine... couldn't get past the first fight(!)... so I put the game aside for about two months... But one day when I couldn't find anything better to do I fired it up again, started on the easiest level and sailed through! Looking forward to the full thousand GPs...
