I "de-plane'd de-plane'd" it!

(I also hate how it had to resend this out just for fixing the title and thus changed the URL. sorry about that, nothing I can do about it)
Aw damn it. I have gold, but I don't have L4D2
That's not really a free weekend when it's free to play the game you [B]paid[/B] for.
[editline]11:59PM[/editline]
It's*
why would you even have this game if you don't have a gold membership? (also why would you get this on 360 and not pc i mean you can't have a pc too terrible to run it on low-medium settings)

yeah it doesn't really make sense. i mean i get why they're doing it, to attract people into buying a gold account, but...they already bought the game. it's not like Steam free weekends where it's literally free
[editline]03:03PM[/editline]
it's a lot more like "congratulations you get a few days to play this game you paid $60 for nearly two months ago!"
kind of a slap in the face really
Zips fixes titles? Oh maybe now he'll fix his misleading "First DLC Pack for Modern Warfare 2 Exclusive to 360" title. :colbert:

If only it were misleading.

You'd be surprised. It's more than that, though; it's a game that excels when you play it with friends, so rather than being about getting the prettiest version, it's about getting the version your friends are playing.

I knew you'd say that. It's impossible to reason with you about your articles, since every single one is pristine perfect reporting. I wasn't the only one who commented that the title was a bit misleading in its thread.
And if you really need to be clued in, the DLC is a [i]timed[/i] exclusive that will come to PC and PS3 at a later date. Your title makes it seem like it'll be for 360 only, and I've already had a bunch of people tell me that that's what they thought it was due to your article title.

Waaah waaah waaah.
Bother me when you have your own site, thanks.

If I had my own site, at least I'd listen to people who point out problems with it and fix them accordingly.
Other non-owning-a-site-related things I've done wouldn't be as good as they are if I didn't listen to other people, like [url="http://www.fpsbanana.com/guis/20854"]this[/url].

There's no reasoning with a boy like Zips.
You'll just have to move on, I'm afraid.
I, too, share you thoughts on his news post regarding the [B][I]TIMED EXCLUSIVITY[/I][/B] of Modern Warfare 2's DLC.
But, alas, he is too stubborn to concede.

You guys never had valid points to begin with to make it worth my time to listen to either of you. But thank you both for trolling every single thread here.

No valid points? Your title said that it was "exclusive to Xbox 360" when it actually wasn't. I saw your argument that it's exclusive RIGHT NOW, but that doesn't make your article title not misleading. The article title leads readers to believe that the content is exclusive to the Xbox 360 period. It's not that hard to understand. You can call those people "dumb for not reading the article" all you want, but the fact of the matter is that a title is supposed to be descriptive of the content, of which yours didn't do a good job of. Why are you so aversive to taking criticism? Where are YOUR "valid points"? So far all you've done is call me a troll.
And for your information, I didn't even post in that thread and this is the only time I've mentioned this. Rather than resorting to calling names and being a smartass, it'd be better if you either countered with "valid points" or actually took some criticism for once.
Maybe they should just add free forever deal.

You'd think they'd have done this already with how many damn ads they put into the dashboard as it is...that you can't even disable even if you have a Gold subscription. :argh:

Lol, proof that you don't bother to read the actual news post but base your simple comments by what you read in the headline.

Proof that you don't bother to read any actual user posts but base your simple comments on your big-headedness. I said that I knew the content was timed-exclusive. It was [i]other people[/i] being confused by the title and I commented that I too think that the title is misleading. If you paid attention to the thread, it wasn't just me saying that the thread title was misleading.
Valve likely did this to be nice, while Microsoft thought it would be a good method to make people consider buying Live Gold.

He still doesn't get it.
Now I want a free weekend on the PC :colbert:

i know a shit load of people with the PC version and two people with the 360 version. one of those with the 360 version has it on PC as well and i believe still hasn't opened the 360 version.
so perhaps the prettiest version is also the version your friends are playing
if your friends aren't retarded that is
Baww, and just when my 360 RROD's. :v:
Oh great, now the Xbox kiddies are one step closer to being like a PC in terms of gaming and availability. I'd prefer these free weekends to be exclusive to PC only, but that's just me.

Yea, what's the point in building a 1000$ gaming rig to play games when all that PC gaming offers is nothing more than what you can get on a 300$ console? I'd prefer some benefits of PC gaming to stay with PC gaming, hell, everyone knows that PC gaming needs a boost in sales anyways.

But the PC offers so much more development, options and functions compared to a console. Besides, steam occationally offers free weekends for some games (Killing Floor:razz:).

But all of those extras are starting to dwindle, developers (good ones at least) are starting not make dev kits for their games only because the user base is migrating to consoles. I'm beginning to think that Valve is the only company that is actually doing anything right as a publisher and developer.

you're kidding, right? you didn't get my point?
fuck, i do hope you're kidding
