Do you have an Xbox 360? Do you want to be able to play with Dopers if need be? Send a friend request to “ **aaa SDMB** ”. After that, go to that Gamertag (after you’ve been accepted, which you will) and hit A. Hit right, and hit A on “View Friends”. Go up and down the list and look at the Dopers and what they’re currently playing. Send invites as needed. ---

Ah, so you’re the one behind it all. I was wondering why you’d disappeared from my list. Right now I’m muddling my way through Orange Box achievements. Being a very poor online player, I have yet to play Team Fortress 2, so I’d be up for that (c’mere, little achievement points, c’mere…). ---

[QUOTE=Max Torque] Ah, so you’re the one behind it all. I was wondering why you’d disappeared from my list. Right now I’m muddling my way through Orange Box achievements.

I had almost a hundred people on my Friends list (for the billionth time) so having the SDMB denizens on a FOAF list really helps me out (I’m down to 87 friends on my list now. Counting people on the FOAF lists, I have roughly 300 people on my list.) ---

Also, when you see me online, I’ll probably be playing Halo 3. Just send me a game invite and unless I’m in the middle of something, I’ll hop over. ---

I’ll add it when i get home. My online play is pretty much Halo-centric as well. ---

I am sturmhauke on Xbox Live, and a ton of other places as well. As far as I know, all instances of sturmhauke are me as of this post. Now, of course, some jackass will randomly decide to use my screenname and do jackass things with it. ---

Have you met my good friend, Call of Duty 4? 😃 I actually only play Arcade games, mostly. I’ll be busy with Metal Gear for the next week, but I will find time to befriend the hub-user.

> [@](#): > > It does get better, actually. Have you met my good friend, Call of Duty 4? It’s the eternal debate. 😃 Personally i prefer Halo - but I normally play with at least one other guy i know, and i generally play ranked because the people in there are better/take it a bit more seriously (so you don’t get people shouting constantly in your ear or team killing). Having stuck my head into Social the other day i can fully see why some people hate halo online. :eek: ---

I have been mired in Viva Pinata for a few weeks, but I finally came up for air and saw your invite. I also now have a PS3, but we don’t play many games on it yet. ---

I’ll have to dust mine off. 😉 I’ll probably be online tonight if anyone fancies teh haloes. That’s tonight my time - no idea what that’ll equate to in your barbarian lands 😛 ---
