Title: 1v100 Season 2
Post by: demi on November 20, 2009, 08:59:17 PM
Starts in an hour, bros. Hop on. Comes with achievements.

You unlock new dances when you gain levels (based on your score for that round, like EXP). I unlocked the spiderman 3 dance, lmao.

So did they scrap the idea of charging for this?

Do you need to be in a live session to get achievements?

Free for Gold, achievements can be earned in any game, except 2

One for dancing your avatar in live game, the other for getting 3 skips in extended

This is free, and has Achievements? Holy cow. How are they making money? Embedded advertisements?

Is it fun?

There are occasional ad breaks. I dont really think its fun. I hop on the live show to see if I get in the mob for a chance to win. I never do.

Did Extended Play last night and unlocked more Achievements. I only need the 12 streak, 500 questions, four player one, and the one where you answer the wrong questions quickly.

I crawled around the Marketplace for this but couldn't see where to download it. From the Spotlight channel, I can set schedule notifications, but have no game app for this on my system. What am I missing?

As usual, I can't tell if you're being helpfully direct but curt, or just curt. I believe you may be right, but usually the IP blocking takes the form of a dialog box stating that the requested download's not available to my region. So far I haven't even found a spot to attempt the download.

They took a loooooooooooooooooooooooong break after his first couple questions. I think they were trying to figure out a way to get him out :rofl

iirc, you just go on the spotlight blade and one of the first options should be the 1 vs. 100 thing.  I'm pretty sure you get the download option from there.

Thanks, I'll take another peek soon.

I got into the Mob twice last night, but the Ones took the money and ran so I didn't win anything.

I think I know what's going on, at least a little bit, with the 1 vs. 100 weirdness: The most recent Dashboard update has changed a couple things so they can't even be seen by a proper-region'd 360 which is in an out-of-region IP address range. I think.

Over the weekend there was a promotion displayed on the Dashboard, but selecting it didn't even display the "download" blade or transition to a new screen. It does the fade-transition, but then drops me back at the same position. The transition might be going to load the new channel or blade, and finding it inaccessible. Anyway, it looks like 1v100 is out of my grasp for now. Silly me, I wanted the Avatar rewards if there were any, and free 'cheevs is never a bad thing. I guess I'll try to download Demi's Games-for-Windows-Livefree game instead.

Hey, how about those advertisements which play sound if you pass over them? Isn't that great on a paid service? I love that. LOVE THAT. Why the hell are there ads on XBL?

Because the dashboard is the same for people with Silver.
