Yup did you see that one round where I was the last to stay alive and didn't have my mic on?

Everyone was watching avidly, I can't believe you managed to trick both of them and slam it home for a touchdown, those are skills to pay the bills right there.

You need to get the guys from Rooster Teeth to play online with their character voices and have them freestyle their comedy while playing the game with the Podcast guy and random people on LIVE.
 
homez99, it was fun playing with you even though you wound up on the other side a killed me a crapload. All good games, guys. Hey MMarsu, we did win that one game where you told the kid we were going to win when you got on. He should have trusted the MMarsu Magic.

Tonight!
 
I am really starting to like humans. I can have two techs (right now its glider and enhanced vision), a rez active and still have essence to cast gust or teleport every few seconds. It really makes a jack of all trades character viable, as you take a limited hit from each sector. The tech only sets you back by taking up space and ressurect leaves you three essence which is enough to cast most of the common magic (Tree I think, gust, teleport etc.) I was really surprised by how much I could do.

I had a lot of fun last night though. The last game was especially fun, a close 6-5 (we lost, but it had a lot of great moments).
 
I just picked it up today and have enjoyed it so far. I don't know what it is, but I really do like it more this time around compared to when I was on the Beta. I don't know why I wasn't more into it when I was playing it before.

Anyone wanna add me for some games? GT = Tagatouille
 
I picked up the Vista version for $20 during the CC deal - and one thing I've noticed is a lot a games end prematurely with "Cannot Connect to Server" ... Is this a common problem? I never noticed this when playing the 360 version during the first few weeks. Any news on a fix?

Also I'm guessing the game doesn't save stats from games that end early - so all those games don't add towards me getting any achievements :(
 
Well great. My wireless adapter is busted apparently. I've no clue what happened. Today I turn the 360 on and the light on the back of it is red and testing says the network is not connected.
 
I had a similar problem not so long ago - I unplugged the adapter for a couple of hours, reset my router and plugged it back in, and everything suddenly started working again. Fingers crossed it works out the same for you.

probably just a temp thing. Happens to mine all the time. Either :

- Power off the console and restart it or
- Unplug the USB plug, plug it back in, ta-da.

Some guy is starting a new Shadowrun podcast called runningintheshadows and he put up a sample episode. It's really short being a little less than six minutes long, but I think it hints at the potential for this podcast to be hilarious. Around the 3 minute mark is a great Xbox LIVE moment.

http://www.runningintheshadows.com/uploads/RITS00.mp3



The guys voice and the syntax he uses is comedy gold entertainment.

The idea of recording all kinds of in-game voice chat and using that as the bulk of the material has potential.



Anyway the guy is just getting started so he wants ideas, suggestions, and anyone that wants to pitch in and help.

This podcast sucks balls and I love Shadowrun.
 
Played about an hour and a half of Shadowrun for the first time in about a week since I went on vacation. Took me a bit to get my stuff back but I got it.

A question for those other Shadowrun vets out there. Does smoking as the game ends add time to your smoke timer achievement?

Oh, and if anyone wants to start a private game to do that 5 sniper reflections achievement...Let's do it. Invite me. RyoGCH.
 
I just played two attrition games that pissed me off. In both games 2 of my teammates didn't buy rez (Sushi was my second teammate, but he had rez).

And you lost because two teammates didn't buy rez...wow, you must really suck or have shitty teammates.

Haven't played in a week so it was nice to pick up some achievements. Special Delivery and Unstoppable. :D
Click to expand...
I've given up on the special delivery. I'm the most unluckiest bastard with grenades.
 
Just got my Tatter Tatter achievement. Having fun as an Elf but I think I'm going to try the Troll and Minigun combo soon. It's just so...Brutal.

Anyway now that I think about it, hopefully FASA shows up to E3 to show off the Shadowrun DLC that's planned. They already said they have 5 maps basically ready to go so...Hopefully they make them playable at E3 and announce their DLC plans for Shadowrun.

Also, good to see the game making the Top 10 XBL list. Maybe the community will steadily continue to grow and the game will get the community and success that it deserves.

Those games were HILARIOUS. There was that one jerk-face guy who kept saying stupid things and rushing forward and dying and then whining to get rezzed, yet won't buy rez himself. In a 4 vs 4 game of attrition where the entire other team has rez, he still couldn't understand why we wanted him to buy rez too.

The funny part was that not only would he whine for you to rez him, but he'll also insult you in the process.
 
Just got my Heavy Smoker achievement. Didn't take as long as I thought it would. I'm pretty sure that time you spend in Smoke after the round ends counts toward your total timer for the achievement in case anyone is wondering. Think I'm going to mix up being an Elf and Troll for a bit just for some fun.

Now would be the perfect time for Microsoft to drop the price of Shadowrun to $50 if now $40 and announce some DLC. I've got a few friends who are on the fence for buying the game and a price drop and DLC would help persuade them and thousands of others as well. It would help the community and the price would be more justified. It's worth the $60 though.
 
Going to go play a few games of Shadowrun before spending the rest of my night playing Gears and Insurgency with friends. And trying to crack the H3 ARG of course:D My GT is RyoGCH if anyone wants to play.
 
I don't quite OWN with the Troll and Minigun combo yet, but I'm doing very well. Still best with Humans and Elves with an SMG.

It's pretty crazy how I'm still doing new stuff and still having fun. I just bought Summon for the first time today. Killed a Troll with it.

Microsoft seriously needs a price drop to bolster the community. It's a damn shame that there aren't a shitload or people playing this.

Edit: Racking up those Minigun kills with the Troll wicked fast. I'll have that achievement in no time. I've been so damn close to getting Unstoppable almost every game for the past week. I end up 11-1 or 9-0 or something retarded. I'll get it eventually!
 
Just a heads up for those of you who care. Shadowrun for Windows Vista is $34.99 this week. Quite the freaking steal. Now if Microsoft would give the 360 version a price drop...But seriously, if you have Vista, cash in on this deal. It's a great game.

And for those of you interest in this...There's some people trying to get a Vista Vs 360 game going tonight around 8:00 EST. I told them I'd play. Check out the Official Shadowrun Forums for the post.
 
I know I've had the last four posts in this thread but...GOD DAMN. I just went 6-0 in the first two rounds of a game. Was sure I was going to get my Unstoppable achievement. And then "Cannot Connect to Server" and the game gets dropped. ****!

Or, you could get the XP hack. My PC still can't run it, though.

(is that illegal though, even if you bought the game legitimately?)

From what I understand though the work around wont let you play online so it kind of defeats the purpose in my opinion :/

I loved the demo but I'm scared that if I buy this then the community will die around me like T:V did.

I have no idea what the numbers are like, but the guys I play with both on and off of GAF are pretty into it.

I had a great match with a bunch of non-Gaffers who really took their play seriously. Rez first for everyone, anti-magic when we went up against trolls, good team work all around. The only bad part was I kept winding up on the half of the team without the deadly, vicious man known as KillaMaul. That guy is unreal. Some of the Gaffers have their shit together, but this dude was just incredible. Every time I turned around he had me dead to rights. From ninja sword strokes to three shot kills to the head with a pistol while hauling ass around corners. Just brutal.

As always, you're wlecome to send me a FR if you're playing Shadowrun. I'm on most every afternoon and good chunks of the weekend.

Depending on the first DLC package, the community will likely continue. For the most part it's one of the best online community's in any XBL game. Much better than that of Halo and Gears.
