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

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

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?

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

Gud, at last you have the consolation of all those brilliant class updates and new maps.

Ah, see, now there's a problem.

Surprised you don't have a copy though given how good a package it is. I guess you never have time to play, do you?

Bonus Hint: Orange Box is now $20.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

ND, you should really get rid of the old XBox and put the other 360 in our bedroom so we can each play games the other doesn't like at the same time. IJS.

It will either go in the bedroom or back in the office. I picked up the spare one when Circuit City was going under. Got it dirt cheap.
