So it seems someone has been trying to hack my Xbox Live account, just found three verification code e-mails from Microsoft in my inbox that were dated today, so I guess it's finally time I changed my five year old password.

Hope its not something in your email. Good luck.

I doubt it's anything in my email because if that were the case my account would be hacked if the hacker had access to my emails, my bet is it's some random guy with a password cracker who for some reason decided my account was worth hacking.

Hackers don't really need a reason to hack something. They just do it because they feel like ruining someone's day.

In the case of Xbox, some people use it to take accounts to download DLC. Like the Fifa incident last year. I think it's also worth checking those e-mails because they might not be from Microsoft but look very convincing.

The e-mails are legit, which further enforces my belief that it's just a guy with a password cracker, the only other possibility I could see is if my computer has a key logger (keystroke tracker) on it, which now that I think of it when I get home I should run a virus check.

Don't forget to release all his personal info so we can all mourn for what is left.

It's alright everyone I have been brought back from the dead as part of A Zombie Riot's horde.


RE: The Free Thread *Gaming Related* - Mass Distraction - 05-07-2013

Oh, okay. In that case, let's move on. Has anyone seen the latest trailer for Beyond?

I just can't get behind David Cage's "Interactive Movies" anymore. From what I seen this is just Heavy Rain with a couple of new mechanics.

Same here. They're just not entertaining. All they are are hundreds of QTE's, which is a gaming trope I already hate. Replacing gameplay with QTE's frustrates me. The story of Heavy Rain was ok, if you ignore the plotholes, so I doubt this will be any better.

What makes me more butthurt about this type of gameplay comes from Cage's previous game Indigo Prophecy. Where the main gimmick of, "Your decisions affect the game." falls apart at the halfway point and the game doesn't care what you do and gives 1 of three really dumb endings.

Anyone here getting Animal Crossing? Or am I the only complete loser?
