"XBL first impressions......................."

I've just signed up to XBL and have RTCW and motoGP2. My connection was activated monday night and yesterday was my first taste of XBL.
First off was motoGP2, after some good reviews from this site, well, I hope it gets better......I was a little nervous to talk at first but after hearing constant rants and the likes of 'F***,F***,F***,F***' all the time I got a little pee'd to say the least. Does it get any better??
I then had a bash at RTCW, now I havent completed the game offline yet so i dont know many of the maps or the different game objectives but at least it was a laugh and mainly fun, apart from the LAG. I was hoping to get away from the 56k online game laggishness....but have seen it lurking within the Castle walls......so much for ADSL!!

So, someone please enlighten me.......

I have also broken 2 chairs and several controllers. My worst stunt was smashing the corner of the GameCube controller on the top of my head only to realise aftewards that I had lost sight temporarily and I was in absolute agony. I curled up in the corner of my room hoping it would go away but I was left feeling very ill. Went white as a sheet and felt as though I was going to pass out.

Went through the first sheet that is, I'd have be superman to get a dog whistle all the way through double glazing.

I threw a dog whistle at a double glazing window once and it went through.

It was really funny.




Until my parents got home.

I frequently damage things. I threw a pint glass into my monitor which cracked the monitor and smashed all the glass. When I am playing "off" on Counter Strike I launch the mouse into the sceen and spit on my window.

I know what your talking about. You should have heard me on the final Tony hawks 4 challange. I was cracking up, seriously crazy stuff. A Hidden camara or mike recordings in the room would have had me haulded off to a mental home. :P

I think everyone'll mute me when I get Live. I yell expletives at my TV even though there's no-one to listen to them, I can only imagine how blue i'll be turning the Live servers when some pasty faced bum boy shoots me for the 50th time.

If I had XboxLive I would probably be saying F*** alot too. :P I just mutter it when I'm frustrated playing games. Mute people who annoy you anyway.

get a few more LIVE enabled games and then you should be sorted. Midtown Madness has a great online thing going (apparantly), and Mech Assault is great.

Wait for Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided.
Buy it.
Play it.
Experience probably the best thing ever.
