  XBox Live

  Okay I am now offically part of the XBL Community. My first day online was not very good as I was trying to play Gears of War online in a unranked versus match and every quick game I joined the conversations where nasty and some where even racist. I can't believe gamers are so rude like this and so I moved on and finally found some nice personalable players that where not only welcoming but helpful and patient as they notices I was Noob. I have made a few online friends since my first day and so far I would have to say overall this first week of playing online has been nice. I noticed I have to just stay away from some players and just really try to attach to the people in my friends list. I will get more of a handle on how the community around some of my favorite games work but for now I have only found time to play Gears of War online. I will move to Halo 2 here probably over the Thanksgiving weekend and see how that pans out.

  I will be writing more about my experiences with each game here soon so stay tuned and see how I rate each games online community as well as gameplay value. As for now I would have to say the community around Gears of War is fairly nice but could use some cleaning up of people that use the "N" word that there is one of the biggest issues I have with the online community.

  Red Ring of Death

  So I got delayed in getting to know and luv my 360. I recieved the heartbreaking "Ring of Death" the 3rd week of having the system. Non-the-less I knew I could get it repaired but as I read forums speak on how it takes forever for the 360 to come back to you after sending it for repairs. I had no other choice though. I wasn't about to let this investment go up in flames so I went ahead and said wut the hell I guess. I sent it in and let me tell you that it came back in 2 weeks. I have it back already and I mean I was soo happy. Mostly cuz I didn't expect it back for another month...lol

  I got it back and I am back in the game now. I played Saints Row for about 6 hours last night and I am planning on just veggin' out this weekend. Winter is on the way and Ijust planon hibernating through it. Chill out go to work and school then play my 360 and stack my pockets with spinach for the summer club scene and vacation.

  Next Semester I am going to put some money into getting a new TV. I need a 36-42 Inch LCD to play on. My girlfriend wants me to get a new couch. I think I need both. See if I can do it. Stay tuned and I will let you know wut happens. Thanks for checking in!

  My 360

  Okay I just got my 360 from my cousin two weeks ago and I love it. I haven't got XBL account yet because my 360 is upstairs in my living room and I have only wireless connection to the internet upstairs. I am going to have to purchase a wireless adapter for around $100 bucks now and that is just insane. I just landed a part time job at Gamestop so I hope I will run into someone that trades one in soon. Used they go for $60 bucks with a 15% discount which is way better. I hope I can wait cuz I really want to battle some people in Halo 3 and Skate. I love Skate that game is awsome. Also I just picked up a Gamefly subscription which was cool cuz now I can try out games for a cheap without buying and being disappointed. These games are ridiculously priced at $60 bucks a pop. That is crazy to me cuz the last time I owned a console they where faily priced around $40 bucks or so. Well I just hope everyone on XBL is ready for me cuz I am getting online soon! Cya there fellow gamers!
