btw, what's a media server?

 

[ChrisFilter]

You play all your PC media files through the telly. Works very nicely.

so i connect the pc to the xbox, the xbox to the tv?

 

[Pieface]

If you get an XBox, mod it and use it as a media server. I have the both the Halo games, brand new and sealed, you can have if you want them.

do you realise how fucked my autumn is now?

 

[Crispy]

But modding your xbox is a great way to get banned from live! - so don't do that if you're going to be playing online.

 

[Pieface]

actually - if you get me a nice sweet little platform game to play I'll be happy.

yeah can be done with all the modern consoles and also the old xbox basically if it's got a hard drive and a network port etc it means in relaity you can watch films or play music or even in some cases look at photos and it's bloody genius... try http://tversity.com/home it's free and great (and flash based so ti works on most consoles...)

Except to do all this media center malarkey, you'd have to.

 

[ChrisFilter]

Yeah, converting it to a media center is a geek's pastime.

Ask Dub for "Psychonauts" PieFace - it is nice. And funny. And a platformer. Sort of.

Halo 3 is 10 years old today.

What an AMAZING game, my favourite of the series. I played it for hours at the weekend now that it's backwards compatible with the Xbox One. The thing that stood out was how much "fun" the multiplayer is compared to the sweaty and competitive nature of multiplayer today. I also played a lot of custom game modes with my son, so glad they are bringing split-screen back in Halo 6. Couch co-op and multiplayer is why I loved Halo to begin with.
