I am attempting to hook the Spare Xbox (not a 360) to the computer in my room, but need a certain connector. Which we probably have in The Big Box of Cords and Such, but I haven't looked yet.
Anyway, I can participate in Orange Boxy goodness.
Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

Raq, I don't think I have your Gamertag. Mine is "The Sengir".
If you friend me, include a message saying who you are.

Thanks god for being able to add Friends from the Xbox web page. Done & done.
Though Raq, apparently your gamertag is "Zone Wombat" with a space.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Raq, I friended you in Xbox. You might recognize the name. Same as in here.

Ah. I can never remember when I've used the space and when I haven't. Must simplify life.

For the people dissing Risk -- I more or less agree, particularly in how the dice can be quite capricious. But I disagree that this disqualifies Risk as a strategy game. There's frequently some element of random in strategy games, and part of proper strategy is accounting for that. I'd say Risk is very much a strategy game in that your strategies for managing risk and randomness, and when and where you make your move, are pivotal in winning the game. Even then, the random can still bite you in the ass, just like in real life.
Risk is very much a strategy game. It's just not a tactical game on any level, unlike most other strategy games.

So, I can play Team Fortress 2 on Saturday, probably from 7:30 onwards, PST. Who's looking to join in? What time, and for that matter, what timezone are you?

I will get back to you on that - day's schedule still foggy.
