I watched all four E3 press confrences today but only recieved the achievements for watching EA, Ubi, and Sony.  I am missing my Microsoft emblem and was wondering Do any of you guys have your's?  I figure if I have the other 3 I should have the 4th.  Thanks in advance.

I didn't get any of them and I made sure I was logged in to both gamespot and twitch and streamed on both places at once.

Not that it's important to me but I'd think it would be important to those who implemented the system. I didn't get them other years either. It's a buggy mess obviously.

Then there's the never changing profile pic/avatar/user icon/whatever and Fuse being down all week and Livefyre bugging out constantly.

Wow this is an ancient thread but someone mentioned TMNT and that was by far the worst offender. Not because of the amount of diskettes but because it had the habit of reading (I'm guessing) 1 byte off of one disk then asking you to swap just to read 1 byte off the second disk and ask you to swap back.

I think there was 20+ disk changes every time you did something that required the game to load in the levels.

Which was pretty much anything. Loading the actual level was way more painful if I recall correctly, which I might not because it's been more than two decades and I only played it once. ;)

You'd just loaded a level and then accidentally walked over a sewer lid and the disk swapping started.

Then you had to climb out of the sewers and now you're up to like 40+ disk changes (not counting loading the level).

Then once you got out of the sewers you accidentally tapped the joystick in the wrong direction and rage quitting was a fact.

 

If you had an extra disk drive this wasn't a problem but the game was still terribad.

 

As for Monkey Island 2 that wasn't so bad even though it had 11 diskettes. Although 2 drives is recommended. If I recall it constantly needed disk 7(? It's been a long time) and one or two other disks depending on where you were.

It was fairly painless but of course it's a lot smoother with 3 disk drives (or 4) or a HDD.

I used to borrow my friends extra drives when playing games like that Until I got my first HDD and that sweet fast mem expansion.

I need to make a new password every time I want to log in. Location: Sweden Browser: ChromeLitchie

Yeah I still have this problem too. Since october or november.

I'm in Sweden I use Firefox I go to www.gamespot.com I've tried it with explorer too.

And I always need to reset my password to log in.

I'm surprised you haven't resolved this issue yet. It is annoying. I even tried IGN to see if I liked their site better but they keep forcing me to a swedish version of their webpage instead. So I picked the lesser of two evils. Till I find a better gamesite anyway.

Seriously guys. How hard could it be to get a forum login to work in 2012?

You're looking pretty damn incompetent from where I'm sitting.

Sorry for the harsh words but I think they're justified.

Now excuse me while I go sleep till the world ends.

[QUOTE="KrazzyDJ"]

I'm facing a login issue since the last few days now. Everytime I login, I'm told that either my email or password is incorrect. This leaves me with only one way of loggin in - resetting my password. Everytime I wish to login, I must reset my password. The error I get is in the snapshot below:

Any help would be appreciated. And yeah, I tried switching browsers as well and the problem persists (it even persists on my smartphone) !!!

We thought this bug was resolved, but I'll ping them again about it. Thanks for the screenshot.

I too have this bug. I can only login with password reset. I tried shortening my password and using only alphanumericals. I've had that happen to me on other sites when they "increased" security by shortening the maximum password length to 8. That doesn't seem to be the case here though.
