That guy was a plantpot. Glad he went in the end.

Dxg as I said in the message I've no idea what happened. I sent you an invite then started the game so it wasn't anything on my part, as far as I knew we were in game when you joined so don't know how anyone could have kicked you.
I don't know what happened then, I got in and assumed that I'd been simultaneously kicked. I could hear everyone but the lobby was empty. Then when I tried to rejoin the game later on it said that I'd been kicked and couldn't do so.

Shame, as it was the first night in *ages* I had a bit of time free and you guys are generally a nice bunch of folks to play with...

Just so you know, sometimes servers can be abit arsey when you try and join and game that has just loaded. Some servers will also give you the boot if you are lagging.

That's happended to me before. The whole party needs to be re-started and everyone invited in again. In fact best person to speak with is eightseventhree, that lad has serious connection problems from time to time.

Bump finally started the online gaming lark and wanted to know how I could find the group for a bit of action, so to speak !!

I am either Henri Leconte or The Walrus 1977 depending on whether it likes my live account password or not !!

Finished the single player game at the weekend, nice downbeat ending, great stuff.

I'm on 82% so a few things still to do yet!

Same here, Neil - and about the same amount left to do as well. How much of it I can be bothered to complete given the limited amount of gaming time I get thesedays remains to be seen!

Is that a Doncaster thing.....?

Another enjoyable session last night. Sorry that I appeared midway through the game and didn't appreciate the "rules", hence the random shooting of people to start with....

(And yes, another silent participation from me - sleeping 8 week old daughter and tired wife in the bedroom next door limits the scope for shouting and swearing frown Ah well, it's better than not getting time on the Xbox at all, I suppose)

So EST can bum you!


FFS, takes ages to get a helicopter to go and try kill Mekon in his greenhouse on top of the skyscraper. Only to be shot down un-sportingly by Mekon.

Last night we were making our own game modes up in the Lobby.

usually do GTA race or team deathmatch.

but in the lobby we play race to point and last night came up with the interesting concept of Man Hunt.

Give the target "30 hippopotamuses" (polerbert) to escape, then go hunt them down.

I got in the bin to see what virtual Doncaster was like. It was as I expected, and I have no need to travel to the North now.

I managed to evade being shot down by Mekon. It is just because you are a sthouse at the game that you got shot down.

I saw someone tooling around in the police helicopter last night (before they got unceremoniously RPG-ed out of the sky biglaugh ) - where does that spawn....? At the airport?
