Hear hear! I remember when this cool new service called Xbox Live hit the market. I was stoked to play Halo 2 against anyone that wasn't in my small hometown. It was fun for about a week, and then i started to realize that this is just the worst people, all shoved into a small space. And then, the pregame lobbies went the way of COD, and i slowly started to phase out of online gaming.

It's why i emulate Sega and NES games these days. They're finished, i can play games i never got to back in the day, and no squeakers reporting on last night's coitus with me ma. I'm truly missing the "gaming experience."
