Preordered it, but probably won't bother with it until I finish GTA.

Pysek is my xbox live name.  My friend and I are going to Midnight Madness.  According to the paper I have, I am forty-seventh in line to get it tonight.  Multiplayer mayhem to follow...

Would you all be interested in having a gaming night like once a week? (I'm thinking Thurs or Sun). I'll also be setting up a Bat Country clan on XBL so we can join eachothers games easily.

I'm usually not available until after 10pm eastern when it comes to games. If I find some new rope that the children can't chew through I might be able to bump it up to 9pm.

2am your time is only 12am my time. Fortunately, 1 finger my time is still 1 finger your time.

Everyone who bought it already got an invite to the Bat Country clan. I kinda like the logo. Not enough choices given the odds of 10% of the entire earth buying the game. If the logo is too.....bleh, sorry - but it was called the 7th Column, and you know Thompson and nazis. Anyway, enjoy.

Well I strolled in to my local Gamestop at 12:35am to find it nearly empty. The stench of geek, tobacco, excitement and teen spirit was still hanging heavy in the air. It seems out of 75 pre-orders they only had 15 people show up. I will say this about the box, it is purdy.

I may be the only Xbox owner on the planet that couldn't care less about Halo 2. FPS + controllers = teh sux.

See, and I totally don't get the controller hate.  To me the Halo control scheme - when inverted - feels totally natural.

Are you trying to use the original, mastodon-sized controllers?

I'm trying to use a keyboard and mouse, like any civilized FPS gamer! =P

I already have a keyboard and mouse adapter. It looks similar this-

I don't relish the thought of setting up a desk in my living room just so I can play Halo 2. I don't care nearly enough to even consider it.

OK kids.

Some people like consoles.

Some people prefer PCs.

While those of us playing Halo 2 would love to have the rest of you around, we understand if you won't.  Really.  It's cool.  In return, maybe we could have console threads that don't all devolve into XBox vs PC.

Gamertag: F13fabricated

So far the only Live Enabled multiplayer game I have is Halo 2.
