And, indeed, the whole multiplayer expirience was a first today.

You see, none of my friends are bothered about Xbox, apart from one who wants an Xbox, but doesn't like Halo so won't play it. Which is, as I'm sure you know, fustrating. But they all seem to stick to the idea that "Xbox is crap, and the controller is too big".

So it sure was nice to get broadband, and download XBconnect along with Gamespy Tunnel. Although I was very fustrated to find it didn't work. So I fiddled around with my router for a while (funny, how the instructions never work...) and managed to get it to forward port 8602. However, before starting XBconnect up again, I decided to install Gamespy tunnel first. All I can say is, damn program!

For suspicious reasons, after installing Gamespy tunnel (and finding it to be very crap) two DLLs were missing from XBconnect, meaning, at first, it wouldn't find my Xbox, leading to the program not running at all. Hmm...two competitors, after installing the second, the first won't work. Strange that.

So, I had to uninstall Gamespy, and XBconnect. And reinstall XBconnect. More time wasting that I didn't particulally want to do. Sure enough, it now worked. I don't think I'll install gamespy again.

Now, it was time to play Halo online. I hadn't got a clue what I was supposed to do. I'll work that out in time. So I warned the other people through chat that I was new, and persisted to run around just shooting at anything I saw moving. As long as we weren't playing capture the flag...

I got killed once, and killed one person , before someone's computer messed up and stopped our whole game. Twice. I gave up, and will go back on tommorow, when I'm less tired.

So a nice bug free day of Halo online playing then. But, despite what I've said, it *was* worth it.

How about we try and set up a SR game one day? How many people here have the equipment to play online?

I think im gay with my XBox, I fount out that my beloved 'Tooth' is infact a male and ive been making moves on it for ages.
I got one of the controller ports stuck with some 'stuff' last night and now it wont work.

I also suck at Halo online...... I keep getting beaten.

I am selling my XBox for very cheap if anyone is interested?

(its not because the XBox is crap, its just that im really crap at playing it and stuff)

So..... any offers?

I will be happy with £50, seriously.

Cheers.
