GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con

I just bought a new Xbox360 gamepad last month. I am currently using it with my PC as a USB gamepad. For some weird reason, my computers frontal USB slots don't work. The PC vendor forgot the give connection to those slots, and thus I am being forced to use an extension cable to connect any and every USB devices I have.

So I bought a number of new games to play with my gamepad, and had fun playing those games for a few days. But unfortunately, I don't feel like playing them much. I discussed these games and my overall experience with the gamepad with my new friends in the Decision Based Gaming union. By the way, I am currently acting as the leader of that union, and I have a lot of plans to make the union a better place. However, the response haven't been quite encouraging yet--seems like people either don't check their PMs or they just don't bother about unions. Many people joins unions, and just forget about them. The same happened to me as well.

That is where I think Gamespot needs to work on. The unions can become more effective if people who log in to gs gets a snapshot of what happened in the unions they joined. Also, if someone is inactive in a union for a prolonged period, they should be automatically kicked out of it. Anyway....

The games I bought were Tomb Raider: Underworld, Prince of Persia 2008, Devil May Cry 4, etc.

I wonder what's in store for me in future, as far as gaming goes.

Oh that stinks. Extension cable, huh?

I'll be checking DBG more often, I'll be getting a laptop tomorrow, so I'll be on here more. Those things you mentioned, would work... IF GAMESPOT ACTUALLY IMPLEMENTED UNIONS 2.0. Seriously. It would make unions more appealing as a whole. Prince of persia!

Sorry to hear your having a bit of a gaming blip like myself.

@Garfield360UK: Yeah, I guess the blip thingy is contagious
@Zeromu1337: I am just too lazy to tinker with the motherboard....otherwise I could use it properly. What is this Unions 2.0 thing?

It was something a few people were working on back in 2006. There were plans for release in 2006, but nothing came of it. It would have redefined how unions were.

Interesting! I hope they bring back the ideas. The unions really aren't that much active.

How's the 360 pad working out for you. Notice any left trigger drifting in any of your games?

The pad's going smooth Pai, though I haven't touched it in a long while...since starting to play NWN, that is. I haven't faced any such problems yet. The last game I played was Burnout Paradise, but unfortunately the game freezes a lot and I am now waiting for a patch.
