I have a chronic heart condition which causes the lining of my heart to swell and squeeze against the rib cage bringing on the wonderful sensation of a heart attack

It was a lot of fun... but Sine that was kinda dickish. Learn to share with your wife, especially when she organized the damned event.

We'll need to do it again sometime, hopefully with even more of you losers joining.

I seriously didn't realize she was asking for it back. I think she just didn't say it loud enough or what, since we were all blabbing on the mic, anyway.

I was OK with that. I'm sure Shellie would have actually attempted to avoid me running her over again and again LMAO

Seriously, if you're not going to bother to talk English in an American XBL game, you deserve some racial slurs being fired your way.

As far as I've been able to tell there is no such thing as split-screening with GTA4. 1 person per Xbox

Oh, for sure you will. I tried with Gears to play co-op online without it and it just wouldn't allow me. That's the fleecing part

You didn't do it right. I know for a FACT that you can have up to even 4 people playing games like Gears of War, Halo 3, CoD4, etc. on 1 Xbox and they only need 1 gold account. The other 3 join as "guests" and then their names are just Zeus[1] and Zeus[2].

I know this to be true because a) I've seen others do it while playing on Live and b) I did it myself with my ex last year... plus it was playing Gears of War online with my cousin that helped convince me to GET an Xbox.

Yeah I dont wanna spend money on a second gold account just to play GTA online. I do, however, hate people calling me SineSwiper when I play online..it's a bit odd..lol

I'll have to keep that in mind, particularly for Gears 2. Got 2 1-month cards built up for that game already :-)
