omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I got the package this morning. 10 minutes before I got the shipping confirmation email.
Play tonight?

No, no chance. Saturday night possibly but I have a lot of work to complete today.

I think you misspelled "slaughter you mercilessly while cackling manically."

Au contraire. TF2 is a team game. I intend to show Omnis how each class works. Indeed, I'd like to get a bunch of Buffistas who own the 360 version of Orange Box together because TF2 really is a brilliant casual team shooter.

Alas, it's too bad 360 and PC can't play together. Ah well, the lack of time thing would get in the way.

NoiseDesign, when do you get back in town? Maybe you and Sean playing over in Pasadena? Me and Pete. That's 4.

Our wings are not tired

I get back into LA late on Friday night, but currently this weekend is looking kinda busy and we have houseguests. I'll look at the schedule and see what I can do.

Not necessarily. I don't know if TF2 allows more than one player per 360.

If I get around to setting it up I actually have two Xbox 360's.

Of course you do.

Do you have two copies of Orange Box?
