Xbox addicts: a plea

post #1 of 31

Thread Starter 
I need willing subjects for a feature on obsessive/compulsive Xbox players. People who have lost wives/girlfriends/jobs because they couldn't tear themself away from their Halo 2 clan matches, that sort of thing.

Also, any humorous/terrifying stories of Xbox Live lunacy, cosplay deformity or similar gaming weirdness.

If that's you, drop me a line via PM or email - dan.whitehead@btopenworld.com.

If you know someone who fits the bill, point them in the direction of this thread.

Real names do not have to be used, if the shame is too great.

Out of curiosity, why the specific focus on the XBox?

Not only that, but now they even put articles up on this thing called the internet. Scary shit. Anyone can write something and paste it up there, infecting the masses.

Yeah. If you're impressed with it you can thank Al Gore.

I bet you're one of those assholes who didn't like Battle Royale. Typical.

Pop quiz numbnuts; who's your favourite prog band? Oh that's right, you like Coldplay.

Is it a good lubricant?


So what's the story on this piece of sub-cultural history? Tell me and I shall be complete.

A supposed recording of a kid on Xbox Live screaming at his mother for some "fucking chocolate milk", iirc.

This is sort of off topic, but are there any good articles written about cheating online (specifically what sort of mindset cheaters have)? I was a fairly avid gamer on Live until I got tired of cheaters and douchebags.

Mind you, I don't want to know HOW to cheat. I honestly don't care about the mechanics. I'd rather read about what motivates a person to cheat in the first place.

I'm playing 360 as I type this message, missed my last Saturday night out because I was playing 360, and the media center has become the core of my existance on this planet. I even keep playing when I'm taking a piss thanks to the controller range. Does that count?

Only if you don't leave the couch to do it.

Seriously, do you sit down-pee or just leave it in the (figurative) hands of God? Or, *gasp* aim with one hand and frag with the other. I couldn't handle that; I'd never be comfortable holding that controller again.

I'm very skilled, and can unzip, shake it out, do my business, put it back in, and zip again without my hands leaving my controller. It's all in the hips.
