which season of the wire are they showing?

i've been meaning to watch the end of this last season on HBOHD on Demand!

season 1 finale is tonite, then they start season 2 in a couple weeks.
i havent had HBO since the show came out, so i'm pumped... and they dont really edit it, except for commenrcials of course... i thought about buying the DVDs, but they are mad expensive.

so i'm definitely having problems with my ethernet connection and my 360...

the 50ft cable i use still works fine for my PS2, but i'm almost positive its the culprit as to why i keep getting disconnected from the Xboxlive server.

guess i'll just have to buy a new one and see if thats it...

though i was thinking of checking ou tthe cost of getting another modem hookup or whatver in my basement.

PS. i beat GRAW2 single player on easy.

think i might pick up a game if i go to the store today.

hmmmmmmmm...

the mystery ensues:

i didnt change anything yesterday, and was able to play ALL night without a hint of trouble.
then just tonite, just now, i go to sign on, and it wont even let me sign on: it says to test the connection or whatever and comes up with my MTU settings arent right or some BS. honestly i dont buy that, but its the MAx, or Min? transmission unit setting on a router or gateway has to be 1346 or somethin?!?! uhhh... i highly doubt mine isnt set high enough, but anyway i'd have no idea how to set that anyway, -- i did find a modem setting max speed but it was in the 10s of thousands , so that cant be it... GODSDAMNIT i just awanna play VID games!
Looks like socom tonitE! --this sux!

i know, sucky... return that thing and grab an "elite"

jephrey · March 28, 2007, 09:48:18 PM

You people with your M$ products... I'm playing Quest in an N64 emulator right here on my mac. I really liked the old emulator for Playstation. It was really good and you could play burned games of which I still have a few laying around. I always liked N64 though. My bro has some system, and basically, he burned a disc with many nintendo games, many sega genesis games and many atari games, and they'll play on the system. It's pretty cool. I also heard that the Wii is a little kid-ish and the game-play is slow, but if you can get remakes of marble madness and tetris, then hey, I'm all for it still. I guess they've improved games for re-release with the Wii.

I'm just babbling. I just like cheapo games and RPGs. Nothing like going out in the woods to "get experience" Heh.

i wish i could...

though, all that really differs is the 120mb harddrive & somethin about HD i dont understand! :lol:

really though......

thechad · March 29, 2007, 06:35:35 PM

Right, the main difference is it has more HD space and it is a hddvd player, I'm sure to try and compete with the fact that the PS3 is a blu-ray player, but you can buy the hddvd drive seperately for $80 if you have an older 360.
