One of Swords Podcast 090: Bogart That Nephew

by Dan on October 10, 2011

New York Comic Con is upon us — and Kat and I will be there, so that means we’re recording a bit early for this week’s show. The good news is that it’s a show filled with your Megamailbag questions, so we wind up talking about the Skylanders weekend launch, Dan vs. ballet, what it means to be a Founder in Elite, custom URLs, why you don’t get DLC for two platforms with one Elite subscription, creating lines of communication with your Canadian parents, more Dew XP controversy, why Dan needed to be really offline this weekend, a return to familial kissing, whether or not Dan forced Kat to be a gamer, an dHugh falling into a river, Plus, Dan’s greatest gaming failure comes back to haunt him, right on time.

    I’m going to comment on the Dew XP issue again.  I now have found my first “Game Fuel” bottle with the MW3 branding, and I might be doing some of these, but I’m guessing I’ll need to buy the 12-packs just to get the best double-XP time period.  And since this’ll be my first COD game, I am going to be newbing it up like Dan will be, but that double XP will give me a slight edge over my fellow COD newbies who will be using Elite to try and get better.

    I’m Locked out of my account right now and have been for like 40 days, Xbox live is doing the Unauthorized Access Investigation thing at me. Some one from the investigation called me two weeks ago, apparently my name doesn’t match with the original name and last name that i put in when i created the account in 07. which coulda been any silly random handle that I was thinking at the time. apparently the long history of purchases iv made with my debit over the years doesn’t mean anything. the coustmor support as well as the supervisors say that it AALLLL hinges on me telling them what the original name is that i used for the xbox live. Apparently it is not my RL name, and there fore i have no idea. Why after 4 years would i suddenly change up my account to be completely different and call support about it? ridiculous. and ill bet when (if) i regain access ill see that i made several Fifa 11 purchases. Which should be another obvious red flag.
