My wife will play xbox with me on occasion as long as the stakes are low and she can take some dramamine far enough ahead of time... I really meant that if we ended up with 5 or 6 people from OT.com that wanted to play... I guess you can play with as many as 8... but having one guy play zombies while the other 4 play survivors might not be much fun. What do you think?

What timezone are you playing in, 005?

If we had more than 4, I wouldn't play L4D. Not a huge fan of the versus, but then again, I've never played it. I'm on Eastern Standard Time.

Wow, so I bought Modern Warfare 2 the other day, and just played it for the first time. Kind of annoying being a level 1 against guys who are at levels 35-70. Anyway, I think MW2 players may actually be sadder than WoW players. Got to be the most immature group of players imaginable. And I thought the Halo 3 crowd was bad...

One of several reasons why I never bought MW2 and sold CoD4 and WaW. Besides not being able to play splitscreen online, it just doesn't sit right that good players get more rewards which makes them beat the mediocre players even worse (I have no illusions about being a good player), not even letting them get used to the game. Only because I entered Halo 3 on the ground floor and everyone is on an equal footing do I feel like I could enjoy Halo. And it lets me play splitscreen.

I have a few glory stories, but one time my friends and I were up against a team of generals, One Flag on Narrows. We got ours handed to us, it was the last round and we had 15 or 20 seconds to go. Somehow, we scored, making the generals speechless.

I took a picture to remember:

My wife's dead body in the foreground, I think I'm dead on the other side of the map, my friend is getting shot in the back while a teammate runs forward to plant the flag at the literal last second. I think the video is on my fileshare, if that's still around.
