Just got on Xbox Live

My gamer tag is pzykotikjp if anyone wants to send me an invite.

Never been on Live before. So this should be fun. Though I don't think I can play in games, as I do not have Gold (and I think my one month wore off despite me not using it, I logged on to Live ONCE to get some arcade games).

If you have an xbox 360 then there are two levels of live. One is silver - everyone has that for free. Allows you to download trainlers and Live Arcade games. But to PLAY online then you have to pay. So logging on to get arcade games would fall under the silver membership.

With Original xbox there is no silver level, gold all the way

It turns out I do have a little bit o' time on Gold left. So... yay! I had a lot of fun playing Quake 4 tonight.

And I'm about addicted to this. I can see why Live did so well.

Yeah the way it's refined on the 360 is great.

I've been getting in some awesome Gauntlet games lately, haven't gotten past level twenty with a group yet though.

I really like how scores can matter again thanks to this, you got the online boards and achievements for every Live Arcade game. So despite having Smash TV for years I got it on Live Arcade and am actually trying to one credit it.

Put your Live handle in here and select a format and it will give you a sig image like mine. It updates the information in real time, I added it onto all the forum handles I use and it actually works really well as people with similar playing habits will seek you out online.

Also good choice with Quake IV. I don't understand why so many people I know dislike that game.

Unfortunately I had to remove that signature because it's greater than the allowed 200x50. Generally, dynamically updating sigs are bad for forums (and the sites providing them), but until it causes a problem we can allow them. See Whiteys sig, that does a similar thing but fits within 200x50.

Not using in a Sig, but here's mine:

Sorry about that man, thanks for the heads up I'll change the format on it.

HAHA, they have it in 200x57 and 260x50, what the fuck?

Is this acceptable?

Get your own Gamercard Sig.

Also, my Gold ran out last night (wtf?!), so... I guess I'll get a year subscription for my b'day.

Soon as I do, we GOTTA play some Gauntlet you guys.
