A few days ago we reported (http://www.evilavatar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8430) how hackers managed to crack Hexic and automagically unlock achievements. Apparantly though, these hacks don't effect the XBox Live Leaderboards (http://joystiq.com/2006/01/07/hexic-hacks-dont-affect-xbox-live/).

An email from the Xbox Live Arcade team to the good Major stated: "While Hackers can play the game and trigger the achievement awarded animation as if is still there but they don’t actually earn anything since they can’t connect to Xbox Live."
Excellent News.

Keep hearing great things about Hexic...unfortunately I deleted it off the HD the first night by mistake like a major dumbass...was wondering if anyone had a clue on of there was a way to re-download it?

If you know someone with a memory card you can copy it to the memory card from their hard drive and then put it on your hard drive, I think.

Ha ha haaaaa. It looks like you will have 2 choices with the 360 like with the original xbox.

1)Hack it and don't go on live. So nobody gives a shit about your Haxx0rz score anyway.
2)Keep it as MS intended and have fun online with your genuine gamer score.

Nice 1. Makes me happy :D

Forget stopping the hackers from posting bogus leaderboard scores...

Just find a way to keep kids like this off xbox live:

"I want fucking chocolate milk."
"Bring me chocolate milk!"
"I fucking want some motherfucking chocolate milk."
"That's bullshit, bullshit."

Just a few choice words from an alleged 9 year old boy to his mother. We're DOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!

They're called parents.
And she (the kid's parent) sounded like a winner.

I love the whole exchange over how loud the kid has the sound turned up: "I'm going to keep it turned up, you said I could play with it turned up on the weekends and it is the weekend so I'm going to play it as loud as I want!"

We need a sewage treatment plant for this section of the gene pool.

That's hillarious.

True story...my wife is a first grade teacher. She calls the one kids house to talk to the parents. She's on the phone with the mother who's home with their 4 year old kid. My wife can hear the 4 year old in the background whining about something, and the mother continues to tell the kid to keep quiet. All of the sudden real loud, the 4 year old goes: "Bitch, make me some fucking waffles."

Friggin hillarious. The house needs some serious parenting though.

Jesus Christ, that kid makes me want to fucking kill someone. I wish we had his screenname.

Wow, I've never wanted to punch a 9-year-old more than I do right now... If we find his gamertag, we should spam the hell out of it. Every spam message should include something about chocolate milk :p

if you look at the beginning of the video his gamertag is there. At least in the version I watched (I have it at home on my hd). I cannot watch that one because of the work firewall.

Dude, I just wet myself. That's the funniest thing I've read in ages.
