Well, Butters is great for the icon, but I’m just bugged by that empty black silhouette I always see when I cruise my friend list. We need to fill that with some sort of human form.

So, what does the generic SDMB member look like?

Nope. Not dated at all. It’s still up and roaring. I’ll update the list right now.

I’ve been spending more time on Steam than Live recently, but my friends list could definitely use some additions! I’m Juno Hu (get it?!)

Bump for the holidays. If anyone got an Xbox and has their Gamertag, be sure to post it here so you’re on the SDMB Gamertag. That way, you can play online with Dopers instead of civilians.

I’ve already friended aaa SDMB, but I’ll post my gamertag for the heck of it - **psycat90**.

We just got GH World Tour and I’ve been loving it. I’ll probably buy the Rock Band games this weekend.

Yep. I’ve seen you on a few times, playing games that I don’t have.  
Also, if you guys want to set up a weekly gig with Rock Band or have some standing invitation for some game, set it up on the boards and use the Gamertag to send out invites.

Just a reminder that on Friday nights I try to play Halo 3 with some very nice gay boys that I met on the interwebs, but we’re dwindling down to only a few of us lately, so the more the merrier and we do not check sexual preference at the door.

Are you East or West Coast?  
Also, I’ve played with this group before. They’re good folks.

I’m on the west coast, but the other guys are all over the place. The one I play with most often is from Mexico City. You’re probably apt to find us between 5pm and midnight Pacific Time though.

Excellent. For what it’s worth, I put the pertinent information into the already-stickied thread about guilds and what not.

I will be participating in a much-needed H3 frag-fest by at least 6pm Pacific. Nothing makes an ass-sucking week go away quite like a few well-placed sticky grenades…

What is the most played game by the SDMBers? I’m frequently on Halo or COD4 but I have only once seen some one from the dope on. **CallMeKate** plays Halo3 a bunch and I’ve played with her (I dont think she is on the list) but when/what do you all play??

I play Halo almost literally every day for hours at a time. There really is no “most played game”, although I think if I were pressed to choose one, it might be Rock Band.

It’s funny. The Dope is an anomaly as far as video games in many cases. Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4/5 are the most popular games on Xbox Live, yet they’re seldom played by Dopers.
