The Other Worlds Shrine

  • How many of you video chat on Live?

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

I have been doing this with a friend. It turns out the video chat is ABSOLUTELY SWEET on the 360, I could go off about it all day. Many of you probably already know. (I can even probably justify the purchase of the thing just for that reason in career terms, as I've been using it steadily to correspond with a vital contact and friend in the industry who lives 400 mi away.)

The question is...is the *Shrine* ready for video chat?

Surely some of you must have tried this, or are we all ready to find out our online community doesn't work in video chat? :D Next time I'm on Live - shoot me a message and we'll all find out! (Drew Bledder is the gamertag)

Similar to webcamming? Because if so, I've been doing it with friends for years =P

We don't care. No one cares how long you've been video-chatting. Not even one little bit! Even if you were the FIRST PERSON ever to video chat - EVER! - we wouldn't care. We just wouldn't! It's just not an important thing to brag about. Accept my sincere apologies.

Let me rephrase my question. Does anyone *besides Seeker* want to actually try chatting via 360 videochat?

I'm sorry to add a negative post, but I am not up for it. I do not own the camera for that device. I think it's a little on the useless side, although I may have come to that conclusion because I simply revel in my anonymity.

Wow, talk about anger management issues. It totally slipped my mind that you were a psychopath. A 28 year old who utters angry death threats to people on messageboards. Perhaps that's why no one here wants to talk to you =P

I'm going to spare the Shrine the rest of this argument and just ignore you now, the way anyone sane has been doing for years at this point.

Fact of the matter is, you took a shot at me, and now you're backing down after just a single counter-response.

What's better is that you, of all people, are using "sanity" as an excuse to back down from this.

I still need a 360... then a camera for it, lol. When will the FF13 annoucement be final? Then i'll scoop one up, with GTA, Assasins Creed, FF13, GoW, and DMC4 (which looks crap-my-pants awesome right now)

I find your self-centered and character-disordered personality inexcusable and any further conversations I have with you are likely going to be rage-tinged invectives. I'd rather not put anyone else here through that anymore, since I've seen firsthand how destructive my anger can be if I'm not careful with it. I find it incomprehensible that you're actually *promoting* drama and attacking me based on actions that I really am trying to take to keep this board a nice place to be.

You'd better believe that I wrote a much longer response to your original note, but discarded it because I have no desire to start any more drama.

I believe probably about half the Shrine is sick of your stupid shit at this point. The Hitler posts, the careful ignorance of any points in anyone's argument that don't agree with your agendas. Go back over some recent responses to your posts if you don't believe me. But for once I'm actually going to be a decent person and not let your trolling get to me, or anyone else, so I'm not going to get into it with you after this. Ever.

I will not be responding to any further posts you make on this board. It's just not worth it to anyone. I'm not backing down - I'm just backing out of a conflict that serves no use but to further your ego. So please don't mistake this as "wussying out" - I just actually give a shit about the emotional health of this place, and me yelling at you won't make it any better, or any nicer to visit.

I hope someday you learn to actually listen to people. That's hopefully the last thing I'm ever tempted to say to you. Godspeed and good luck.

I have no idea when FF13 will be a finalized game for the 360, or even if it will be. Probably you should wait for it to be formally announced first.

But if it is, get a camera. The camera is fucking sweet!

Rumors going around that FFXIII will be more like a chaptered Saga with different content for different platforms (like what thye announced so far with the PS3 and Mobile versions).

You haven't replied or answered to anything, all you have done is whined about poor Nev the victim while throwing more shit. It is clearly documented in this thread that I asked an honest question about a particular service, and you replied immaturely and abasively. I made a justifiable counter-reply by pointing out how ridiculous you were being. You then began going on as if you were the victim here, completely ignoring the fact that you started this. Grow up, you can't be a child forever. If you are going to make abrasive statements like that, then you better be willing to face backlash. Instead you are just throwing shit and then punking out, avoiding any responsibility for your actions at all, like a little bratty kid. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings, but you REALLY have to grow up.

Video-chatting is a novelty...unless I have a nympho female Swedish bikini team member on the other side. I don't want to dress up in my basement to talk to people, I'd rather just lay there lazily and talk over voice.
