Oh you crazy online gamersTonight Sewart and I decided to play a little Burnout
Revenge on Xbox Live. Awesome game, I love it to bits. Maybe I crash a
lot, but it's pure fun.
But of course, when we opened the room to the public and started the game, the whining began...mainly that since Sewart had just gotten the game I'd restricted the match to Level 1 cars. The other players would not shut up about it. "Oh, who restricted it to the slow cars?" "Here's a hint to whoever's hosting, play offline before coming online" and "This bites." Jesus... here's a hint people -- don't join games that clearly say "LEVEL 1" on them. Or if you do and don't like it, LEAVE. You suck, and I hope that you die. Thank you. I play online to have a little fun with friends that live far away, and I don't need your bullshit, thanks. Yes I have played the offline version and I've leveled up as far as Level 10...I don't need some Professor Smart Guy telling me what I should and shouldn't do with my game. You joined my room, you play by my rules BITCHES. EAT IT. That is all. ![]() Posted: Wed - September 28, 2005 at 11:43 PM | | |

Greg Sewart - I worked with, and sat next to, this beast of a guy at Electronic Gaming Monthly.Now he thinks he can MAKE games.
John Ricciardi - Also a former EGMer, John lives in Japan and scored himself a Japanese girlfriend -- two things I wish I could do.
Kevin Gifford - He's tall, he speaks the Japanese, and he's a great writer. Bookmark this blog now.
Mike Rank - Mike's been my closest friend for years. He's a great guy, fantastic artist, and he has a natural talent for feeding babies that are not his own.
Paige Record - I work with Paige at Newtype. She owns a gun, so don't piss her off or miss your deadlines or you will get a cap in yo' ass. Nah, she's really very nice.
Ryan Lockhart - I worked with this guy once or thrice. Thanks to him, I know never to trust a woman that doesn't like the movie Rushmore.
Mark MacDonald - I didn't write a Pokémon strategy guide, but this guy did. And then somehow *I* got saddled as the Pokémon reviewer on EGM. Where is the justice, I ask you? (Although, OK, I liked it.)
Cindy Lum - I worked with Cindy, I karaoke'd with Cindy, and I bitched about work with Cindy. Cindy rules. Go check out her blog, damn you.
Andrew Burwell - I spent many late nights laying out EGM's Press Start section with this guy, now he's Xbox Nation's Supreme High Art Director. Awesome.
Wataru Maruyama - This guy got me to read Chobits, so I partially blame him for my steep drop into manga fandom. Scope his blog, whydoncha?
