    Community

    I just wanted to post and thank all the people who stop by here. We have really built a community and it feels good.
     Example: when everyone was downloading their asses off last Tuesday (I had 11 friends online, noone playing a game!) I was wondering if I was the only one having slow downloads, so instead of checking the forums or calling support, I messaged everyone with the handy-dandy message center in Xbox.com asking if anyone else was having this problem. Minutes later I had nine messages, all from fellow bloggers! Pretty neat. Then I got onto some chat with a local buddy and he told me he called support and their answer was that the server went down.
     Later that night I played some UNO with some people from Spaces. Pretty neat to play with Fourzerotwo and ask him how E3 was treating him and compliment Haloaded for his write-up about Halo 3. I also played Fenyx, Backdraft, FNG and JO3PA. And I'm looking for you Cluskevird. 
    I am probably pre-ordering the Wii and Twilight Princess next time I get paid. The guy's at Gamecrazy said it will probably only be $199 for the Wii but I expect it to be $299 at the least. Don't be surprised when they have two different price points (a new innovation).  Heck, Nintendo might even go with 3 price points just to be a step ahead of Microsoft and Sony.
    My little sister is playing UNO online for the last couple nights. She likes it alot, but it makes me kinda nervous. She sometimes acts half her age (she's 26). She really likes the sound of her own voice, if you know what I mean! I kinda had to lecture her over her language (she was cussing) and how less is more when chatting on live. Also had to tell her not to entice anyone if they are talking alot of trash. Also had to tell her about the feedback system. Damn, I needed a chalkboard. 
    She's doing much better now, but she's trying to be too nice almost, saying good job and nice move almost every round. Oh well, if ya run into please have patience. Shes really sweet and I really hope she doesn't run into any idiot gamers. I'd hate for her to run into some of the personalities I've seen in Halo2.
    Thanks for listening

    Here, here to the community. I have a great friends list and hope to get a chance to game more or finally with everyone. I have been consumed playing COD2 on veteran, so not trying to be anti-social or anything.

    This community is one of the best. I have met some really great people and it's always a great feeling to find the comments listed on my blog from everyone. All of the Spaces folks are very friendly, helpful and well connected and I can't say enough good things about them and how proud I am to be a small part of it.
    You and I have to hook up on UNO sometime. I'll keep my eyes open for ya.

    I had just your words on the Community on Fenyx's blog.
    I can only repeat what I wrote there: we attract people similar to us.
    You guys are incredible.
    The "work" you all deliver to the community is amazing and that is why you ended up "finding" each other.
    I am sure that time will bring more gamers like you all together and we will have great online parties.

    *have an awesome weekend, thumbs up for your sister (another Gamer Girl is being born) and thanks for the feedback on my article*

    :p  does that mean I should quit wearing my cloak of invisibility?
    I'm usually up for a game anytime unless 1 of 3 situations are happening... 1)  every once in awhile I have connectivity issues (like once a week I have a day when I lose connection every 20 minutes or so), 2) I'm getting interrupted every five minutes, or 3) dinner is almost ready   :p
