    Last night xbox live services etc were unavailable for a few hours, was it hacked or was it something else? (I can't access games related websites to read what went on in work)

    All service alerts are updated there. I was on Live for a bit last night and it was fine.

    Was down for a few hours last night according to tweets but was sorted relatively quickly. No word on the cause.

    No, not everyone, seemed pretty random.

    You could still play the games/apps if you went offline, so the effect wasn't too bad. Of course, if your home console is on the other side of the country, then yeah, you'd be screwed.

    I don't care if there was a hack or not. I'll just turn on my PlayStation and play on that... As long as I don't have to go outside (great graphics, crap gameplay) I'm happy :P

    Also did you not get annoyed with Failsafe for posting a meme about PSN going down or something to that affect recently?

    A pain in the rear if you only play online games on the xbox tho.

    Yep that real life mod is supposed to be good alright, not a fan of it personally, plays too much like a walking simulator and its far too grindy for my liking, dosent even have fast travel.

    I cant remember on the failsafe bit if i'm being honest, any chance of a link to these spurious claims (probably true though):D

    Dear god, have you tried sprinting in real life recently? I'm wheezing after 30 seconds, and it's nothing like the recovery time in COD, that sprint for 30 seconds/recover in 10 is pure bulls**t!

    :rolleyes:
