Xbox Live

OK so as most of you beautiful people who inhabit this great earth should know that xbox LIVE has stormed Gods country "America". And yes some of you have already spent sleepless nights staring into the radiance of your television while talking mad smack to many as you destroy them, or (like me) getting destroyed! I had the privilege of purchasing one of very few xbox starter kits that were left in the store before some booger-eating fourth grade spoiled brat begged his dear 'ol Mommy to buy it for him. And yes since I am the only one outside the magnificent three (Pickle, Soda, and Snowcone) that has played on LIVE, then I am entitled to say absolutely anything about this damn thing. I really couldn't buy all the games that were supported for LIVE...I think its pretty communist that they only released a very small variety of games, and on top of that they didn't freaking make Halo supported on LIVE. Let me tell you that setting up the LIVE system could be a breeze, or can be like a Mexican trying to learn Japanese geometry.

Once you're on, its pretty easy going to through the setup. You can be real creative by coming up with a gamer handle, I've seen handles ranging from PimpCock to FreginLazer. I myself like to stay conservative and use the same one I've been using forever. Moving on, you obviously want the full effect of LIVE so make sure you purchase a game that is LIVE supported. I had to settle with Unreal Championship. It was the only game that was close to satisfying my Halo craving to playing online. The headset is ok...it has a volume control and also a mute button. You also have the option of disguising your voice in several different masks, some are annoying and some are just ok. I suggest NOT using them. You would expect every person playing would talk mad trash, but you are sorely mistaken. PEOPLE ITS A HEADSET...TALK...I CAN'T SEE YOU...I AM NOT THERE TO KICK YOUR ASS SO TALK AS MUCH CRAP AS YOU WANT!!! Ok moving on!!! Let me tell you that this game just gets way out of hand when your on LIVE. Its just freaking insane, its like playing "Quake" while consuming insane quantities of speed, coke, and any other drug you freaking insane kids do. I mean it's insane, I mean really, its just way to fast and you have no clue what the hell is going on. Of course there are those players who will dominate the channel that you are in for hours for some ungodly reason.

Other than that if you want a quick taste of the xbox LIVE, I suggest you get into it now. Rent a few games that are supported before buying some. That way you know which poison to pick. Next on my list; Ghost Recon, and Mech Assault. I am here to tell all to not waste time! Donate blood, plasma, sperm...sell your old games, movies, little brother or sister, whatever! Just get LIVE. Its great!
