I decided to buy him a live subscription for his birthday (Feb. 9th) and gave it a shot while I was home for the weekend. I've now experienced first hand what everyone is reffering to when they talk about being yelled at by 12 year olds. I feel your pain. I'd definitely like to hear about your experience with Seasoned Gamers Matt. Sounds like a good group of people and a better way to game.

LOL. Great site btw. I haven't been on XBOX live in over a year. World of Warcraft has taken over life since the expansion came out! LOL Those 12 year old kids always seem to beat me too! LOL.

Cleaning up the contact list is something you'll have to do once in a while ;) Just did the same a few weeks ago. Result: 30 people less on the contact list, and noone is complaining. And about the Online Gaming. A community like seasoned gamers is an awsome idea, hope someday here, in Poland an community like this will also emerge. Maybe it already exists, but haven't heard of it yet... Yup.

When you get embedded in gaming communities, your list quickly fills up. My list stays mostly full. I know everyone on my list from somewhere and I accept no public invites. These are just my console gaming friends that I've met from OTHER places over time. What happens when I my PC gaming friends start playing Games for Windows? Well, I guess there's always Xfire. Their friend of a friend feature allowed me to find some cool games on some cool servers. I think MajorNelson said the average gamer has 25 people on their friend's list. I think that's their justification for NOT increasing the size of the buddy list. So, I wonder if MySpace would be as popular if it only limited the number of friends each one could have to 100? Alas, I'm going to have to refine my list. I'm hoping that with the release of "Games for Windows", Microsoft will increase the number of friends we can have on our lists.

Usually when a person sends me a friend request the only way I accept it is when: a) I've heard their voice and they don't sound like their an annoying kid. b) They have common sense, something a lot of people seem to be missing these days. I rather have a friend that has common sense but might not be the best at the game than someone who is dick and really good. Ya, I agree with Nath.

Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's creepy.. Especially when I end up on the same team as them, and they talk to me because I'm a girl. But all that aside, sometimes I think that's what makes the game a bit better (though not ALL games on live.) Moreso I enjoy it a bit more when I play Halo 2. Gives me a good laugh for awhile, and keeps me entertained. Nothing really tops having to hear the people that change their voice during gp.

Exactly why I dont use my 360 as much as I really want to. What kind of games you plan on playing? I would like to get alot more into GoW and Rainbow Six Vegas my self.

I found in the past that I just didn't have the time to sit down and dedicate a couple of hours playing a game. I'm hoping now that I don't have a 2.5 hour commute every day that I'll be able to have a little more gaming time for myself.
