Morning Discussion
Pretty much the only news to note is that keen Steam sale, so if you didn't get what you were looking for then maybe that will do the trick. Or? Or you could use your last chance make an entry to our holiday contest and take a shot at winning a 360 Elite, or at least a game for trying.

replyIn this thread, we find matches for our new games and systems. Don't forget to use http://www.gamewith.us for posterity... but of course you need something to tell you to look there, right?

Just the original, but I will get Opposing Fronts as well because that's probably the only way I'll be able to get fucked in the ass by 11 year old koreans find anyone to play.

I got Scene It! for the xbox 360, and in ~2 hours of gameplay it netted me almost 600 gamerpoints

its like the board game but 100000x better. I consistently own my wife at it, but that's what happens when you work at Hollywood Video for a couple years and see pretty much every movie ever made.

see my writeup in reply to Deathlove's post below; its a really fun game, especially since you have to "Buzz In" for some questions using the bigass button on the end of the remote thing.

the xbox version is fun with just two people; here's a rundown:
1) questions are presented in blocks of ~5 questions in each block. A block will all be one type of question, like anagrams, or the 'screening room', where you watch a clip and answer questions about it.
2) You can select a short game or a long game. Short is I think 3 blocks of questions per round for 3 rounds plus the Final cut, and long is 5 or 6 blocks of questions for 3 rounds + Final Cut.
3) Instead of being board-based where you have to progress to win, its points based, where you get more points for answering a question quickly. After the first round, you get points deducted if you answer a question incorrectly.
4) After each round the game randomly gives bonuses, Mario Party style. Ones we saw last night were first correct answer, last correct answer, highest percentage correct, 3 in a row, entire block correct, etc.
5) the final cut consists of a clip from a movie, then 4 questions. You don't get points deducted for getting questions wrong, but every consecutive correct answer gets you a score multiplier (1x, 2x, 5x, 10x). This makes it possible for someone in last place to shoot to first place in the Final Cut.
6) The game uses the hard drive to keep track of what questions have been asked already so it doesn't repeat questions until you've already seen everything in the game.
All in all, we were having a blast with it; possibly one of the best Christmas presents I received this year.-

I don't really know...lemme check wikipedia or something...
doesn't look like you can play over XBL, but they will have question packs to download, so depending on when they release those its possible that you could never see a repeated question. Ever.-
aaaand after checking the xbox site it says it currently doesn't support downloadable content, either :-\ maybe the reviews I read for my facts above were wishful thinking? I dunno

they could patch it in, though...probably not going to happen, but its still really fun.

Based off of this post, I picked it up today. Fun game, great one to get if the SO is all "eww, playing a console" type of person. Fun, lots of different categories of questions, and the random awarding of points keeps it interesting in a close game. IF they add in DL content, or release later games that'll use the Big Button controller, then it'll definitely shoot into the must have category.
