Hi, i just got a 360 lately and put it on xbox live, everything is going fine, but i keep on getting a "nat networking is not enabled"

please help, i have a dynalink RTA1320, and it seems like it doesnt have all the right setting when it comes to nat, sorry, im a network idiot. any help would be much appreciated.

also i hope this is the right thread

Im fee,ing depressed, all the youth in my little hometown dont care for anything execpt binge drinking sex and cars.

i am of course a gamer/IT guy and i feel i have no place in the town.. i cant get a GF, im not into cars and have no care foe exsessive drinking.

am i too conservative?

theresa girl i really like, but she like to get drunk in the weekends and doesnt really care about anything meaningful in life (like 80% of the girls in my town)

what do i do ?

and why are most gamers almost all very deep and profound people? i find that a lot in gamespot forums

First of all i belive that abortion is completely discusting.. i mean sure women have rights.... but unborn babies do too.

i mean who can say "ok the baby is this old now its a human.

i belive a baby is humant the moment the egg and sperm connect. 

think of it this way, the terminator movies described how a robot went back in time to kill a woman and by proxy killing her baby... i belive (not in future robots)

that a sperm and an egg is a definite baby because without intervention thats what a baby will become.. u cant give a pregnant women flour and expect her to deliver a cake.

i also think the old woman was a weirdo and what she did was horrible. she shouldnt have done it. but think this.. if those pics were just a mix of chemicals and cells.. why should they be disturbing? un less of course they a twisted images of what an unborn child looks like.

i think she was more like a stupid wacko.... lol i woulndt want her at the drive-throough

I have found a few reviews lately that seem low compared to the excitement of the reviewer..eg saints row2, left 4 dead, banjo kazooie nuts & bolts.

have game spot made 8.5 the new 9? i mean i can understand them making it lower because of the caliber of games that are being churned out... but its a bit confusing hearing a reviwer rave about a game.. and then give it an 8.5.

also Why are there like hardly any PC reviews.... i dont mean to whine... but PCs are one of the most widely used platforms. and i as a pc user cant just read the 360 review and hope the pc one is the same..

does anyone agree.. im not meaning to take the crap outta game spot... i mean its my favorite website of all time.. but im just getting bugged at things like that

Gaming doesn't define me as a person. It's just a hobby, and it's best to keep it that way.

My sentiments exactly. Some people don't "get" gaming and thats fine by me, aslong as they realise that I'm more than that. That being said, I know many girls who love playing video games. Its a form of escapism and relaxing, everyone has their own ways, this is mine.

im of the same opinion...prob is... i live in a small **** town in newzealand.... and all the girls in the town know im a gamer... they tend to avoid me...hence the reason i look for a social life online in gaming..ect...i suppose its a vicious circle

ahh well heres to hoping ill get a gf one day =(

I agree. The 90s was the time games were just games...they didnt have to look like movies, or have storylines to match...they were just games being born i think the reason I liked the 90s era of gaming. is because the games were raw.

take Unreal tournament for example. that game was violent, un pc and pure raw no holds barred gameplay... i still cant get as nearly much a kick ouyt of ut2k4 or ut3 than i did the original

im wanting to get my pc to play crysis at hihgh on a decent framerate, and have my pc ready to play mercenaries, gta IV, farcry 2...ect

this is my dxdiag...... what parts do i replace? and with what?
