Long Island got hit bad. 90%, around 950,000 lost power. Over 600,000 still out, including our home. Worse, about 100,000 homes destroyed or severely damaged, including my 87 year old fathers. A live wire went down on his house and set it on fire. Thank God he's OK, living with us until we can get h...

Zep, didn't relaize we were neighbors. I'm on Long Island, about a mile inland, far enough that we don't get flooding. Bigger problem is trees coming down, taking down the power lines. And we have a couple of huge oak old trees near the house. Its hasn't rained a lot before this so hoping the dryer ...

I use the default view with most assists off (getting 90% bonus) and using the controller. I don't play racers much so I never got a wheel.

I have about 5 or so DSP guys on my friends list and I'd like to add more of you to join in on the racing.

My xbox tag is Pete1210.

I read at OS that if you do 3 events at a place, it is then unlocked for quick travel.

The Brooklyn Islanders? "New York Islanders & Barclays Center To Make Major Announcement" http://islanders.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=644105 Yep. Brooklyn it is. Just heard on the FAN, the official announcement was made by Islanders owner, Charles Wang, that the team is moving to Brooklyn in 2015. At...

If you have a Microsoft store nearby, visit and ask to take the "Bing challenge" (it takes about 2 minutes) to get a $25 voucher. I think the offer ends 10/25.

Enjoyed getting in a few races in with you guys last night. I never payed Midtown Madness, so Infection and King was a first for me in a driving game. Fun stuff.
Only thing was I couldn't hear anyone in the lobby or during the game.

Thanks for the impressions. I picked up my copy today. Looking forward to some racing online.

I've run into a few of the bugs/glitches I've read about for a while now, unfortunately: Being unable to select/use some abilities in battle Units (friendly and enemy) teleporting into walls for no reason, unable to move or target anyone Newly built SHIV becoming invisible and unselectable Newly bu...

At Bestbuy, B2G1 free on all video games $59.99 and under 10/21 to 10/27.

Reading these stories is making me want this game now.

Any major disadvantages in the console version?

Thanks for the feedback. I bought the TV (50" Panny plasma) at Costco and hooked it up yesterday. I love it. Picture blows away the old DLP that its replacing. Really liked the picture when I saw it at Costco, but was questioning the dimness that I notice in a lot of plasmas. Any issues with the pi...

I got in on the second wave of "pre-orders" at Gamestop. It's not a day one guarantee. Instead I'm on a waiting list where I'll get an email and have 3 days to pick it up if I want one. I like this article on the ZombieU games local multiplayer. Human player gets an FPS perspective on the TV, while ...

From Michael Barnes' review: http://www.nohighscores.com/2012/10/16/forza-horizon-in-review-human-after-all/#more-9474 You’ve got to drive to each event. And if the event you want to participate is all the way across the map, you might have to drive ten minutes to get back over to it. Or you can fa...

Same thing with my old gaming friends. No one wants to make that commitment any more.

I started my NBA league on xbox 360. Its oldskool22, password is peter. Got tired of waiting for updated online roster, but if there is one in the next week or two I may restart.

Saw this Panasonic plasma at Costco this evevning. Seems like a heck of a deal with some nice specs. Not interested in 3D or internet capability. Any thoughts? I've never owned a plasma but I was amazed at the picture quality. http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11759191&whse=bc&Ne=400...

Pre-order at Microsoft store comes with 1600MS pointt and a $10 gift card. So that's $30, If you use the points and GC.

I stuck with Revolution for 2 1/2 episodes since the story interested me. But I could not get past the bad acting and writing.

I'm also enjoying the demo. Now I'm not sure whether to get this or NFS:MW. No way I'll have time for both. They're going to be markedly different games, so I'm getting both. Good point. I'm just not that much of a racing game fan to pick up and play 2 games within one week. I like to focus on one ...
