Anybody else have it? My handel is Tavinos and I'm always up for a game of Madden (even though I always lose). I also have NFS:Most Wanted and Saints Row

I pay for it, but haven't had the chance to play in awhile, nor do I own any online games. I mainly use the Live to download the arcade games for now. I'll be there once Gears of War comes out, though.

I play alot of texas holdem but recently ppl have been cheating somthing chronic.

I play on the $50k comp table (took ages to get the money to play on them) and what happens more often then not is ppl log into play, and just end up folding every hand after the time limit.
U would think some system of booting an 'inactive' after say 3 time outs would be fair but no.

Obviously ppl get bored of waiting or play off against each other. its stupid.

Have you added me yet? I know I sent an invite (La Fuerza), but I don't think I've checked since.

I feel the same way about Halo 3/Online Gaming taking over my life, after it did so for a few months during Halo 2. I don't think anything on XBL is as crackesque as WoW or LOTRO.

And even then, the only reason Halo 2 was addicting to ME was not the game, but because I didn't want to let down the people/Clan I saw everyday by not being there. I'm sure they didn't give a f***, but I liked to think they did. I was like, "AutobotMaxmal and Spazmaster are expecting me! We must be there and battle as a TEAM! TILL ALL ARE ONE!!!!"

In summary, the most addicting part of online gaming is forming emotional attachments to people you don't know at all. Which means, BF, you'll be.......fine? idk.
