Mine will do that every now and then also. I haven't noticed any excessive draining of the battery yet because of it. I'm not sure what causes it, but both of my controllers are still on their initial charge and holding strong. I wouldn't worry about it, at least that is what I am doing.

Good to know. Thanks for the info! Yeah, it's not like it is not working or anything, just a dull light in that fourth quadrant when the system is off.

When you go on Live:

Has it happened to you yet?

Who cares? Like it matters if someone knows I'm listening to music or looking at pictures. I certainly don't.

The point here I think is should this be happening even though when one is not gaming? You're right though, I wouldn't care what you do on Live.

Wow, that's quite the exaggeration on that author's part.

Oh my God, my friends know that I'm listening to music, or downloading a few files - what an unbelievable privacy intrusion. It's not like it says, "Sleeping with the neighbour" or "Shitting on the wife's chest." In an age where people have the most detailed, and weird, away messages on IM programs, I don't think that this is much of a problem at all.

I just don't get what the harm is in people knowing this kind of stuff.

There right it will show people what you are doing, but if you are not playing a game and don't want people to bother you or you just don't want people to know that your watching a movie and you like your privacy. You can change your online status to "Away" or "show offline" or a couple of the other options in there and it won't tell anyone what you are doing. If you are away, all it shows on the FL is that you are "Away" where it normally shows what you are doing.

Read a short preview of Saints Row a couple days ago. Don't have the link, but there's supposedly going to be demo right around Christmas.

I'm always looking for more ways of staying warm during these Chicago winters Airdog but I think I'll pass on your suggestion.

That has to be the most moronic gaming article I have ever read. You can easily change your settings so you won't appear online if you can't handle the fact that your friends list would know you listened to music.

Now if it told people what movie you were watching, like

Airdog is watching the movie 'Chestsquatting No. 2'

Sometimes people say things in a forum that either haunt or define them forever. Today is Airdog's day.

Sorry - I was awake way too early. GF was leaving to go to practice teach and it was like 6:30AM plus freezing cold.

No more scat posts from me. I'll leave the shitting (be it on people, a lack of, or at work) to Grog.

Haha. It's considered "way too early" when you just fall asleep with your gf and then are woke up at 6AM because she's gotta go.

Don't worry, I remedied it by going back to sleep until about 11:30.

Tonight should be my last Wal-Mart shift. Ahoy, Sears!

Anyone have an idea what new arcade games are going to be coming to the marketplace? Would love to see a Namco collection and Tetris.

I heard that Robotron and a couple other games are "coming soon". What I would like to see is either Texas Holdem in the Live Arcade, or one of the poker games on the xbox (WSOP or WPT) becoming backwards compatible.

You know what would REALLY be a great idea? If they had something like Texas Holdem in the arcade with an option to play with your marketplace points!

Here's a list of games that should be available by the end of the month.

I noticed that the backward compatibility list was updated. Still no MVP or NCAA. But Cabela's big game hunting is covered.

Wow, looks like all the Clancy titles are now back-compat, including not only GR2 and GR2:SS (which I got rid of

), but also SPLINTER CELL: CHAOS THEORY!

Teal (if you're reading this), if you send me that invite form now on, I just may find a way to join you now!! I knew you didn't have a foursome last night, but now we MUST get in some more SC:CT versus!

Gurantsu · Post by **Gurantsu** » Fri Dec 09, 2005 10:05 am

Yeah, I'm excited to try out the SC games. Heck, I'll have to try out all of the Clancey games (OK except for Lockdown, I don't own that one.)
