My gamertag is “katsha”. If I’m not playing all by my lonesome, I’m playing with a fabulous herd of gay boys from [gaymer.org](http://gaymer.org). I’m pathetically terrible, but I used to be halfway decent at H2, so I’m hoping I can slowly get my chops back. To complete the identity crisis between 30 something lesbian and 13 year old boy, I’ve even captured and file-shared (from three different angles) an amazingly lucky sniper shot where I take down two enemy spartans with a single bullet! So send me a friend request or something. Friday nights are “Gaymer night”, but we could have Saturday or Sunday as “Doper night”. Whadya think? ---

Hey, haven’t touched Halo3 in a bit, but thats due to Guitar Hero, Lost Odyssey, and class / work with no good excuses to play anymore (friends are playing COD 4 now…blah). Expect a friend request from Koldanar at some point. ---

Yeah, I’ve been bitten by the Lost Odyssey bug as well, but after a particularly frustrating run at those damn security guards that you have to keep stealing passkeys from, and then dying with no “checkpoint”, I am shunning it for H3 for a few days. 😃 Anyone else still playing H3 online? I know that I’m arriving to the party a little late, but there have to be a few more of you still out there… ---

I’m still playing it. I’ve been playing it religiously. I’m **I Dixon Tufar I**. ---

I still play, not as much as I used to but more than I should. Xbox Live handle is **madagu**. ---

I will get around to **Halo** someday, promise. Right now I’m working through **Bioshock** for a second time to mop up my last few achievements (still need Historian, Seriously Good At This, and Brass Balls), but I’m at Point Prometheus, so the end is in sight. Of course, I’ve also got family coming to visit this week, so it may be a week or two. On XBL, my tag is “Maxwell Torque”. ---

So would any of you be down for some Halo this Wednesday? If so what time (I’m EST)? ---

I’m also Eastern Standard. I work until 7:30, so after that I’ll be roaming around. ---

I usually get home around 5pm Pacific. As long as I finish the dog-run I’ve been trying to construct out in the yard, I will try and join in. ---

So much for that idea. I’m on and playing (not now, mind you, but I’m around). ---

Like I said, I’ll be around tonight to play…just poke me if you’re on and I happen to be in another game 😃 ---

Good times last night. Things were blown up properly. By “things”, I mean “the other team”. ---

☹ By the time I got on, Koldanar was the only one left, and he was deep in the clutches of Lost Odyssey. Next Weds maybe? ---

I Will as well…Wednesday is usually a wasted night for me (no good TV, don’t see the GF that night, etc) and by the time you got on **Cookies** I was winding down and almost ready for bed ☹ Damn time zones. ---

Any of you guys around? Bungie is running something called Grifball. It is two four man teams of Football with Gravity Hammers and bombs. Fun as all get out. It does use one of the new downloadable maps though so if you haven’t gotten them you will not be able to play. I’ll be playing periodically. Look for me. Once again my handle is **madagu**. ---

I’ve played it about a dozen times now, and I FINALLY actually touched the ball and scored the last few games. It is quite fun, especially when you’re playing against people you know and can laugh at eachother, as opposed to the cussing at eachother when playing strangers…
