Just keep muttering "tactical sniping position", "target located" and, my personal favourite, "damn it, RROD. I, Zac Efron will personally write to Microsoft complaining of this problem. (Takes snack of GamerBitez)."

I always wondered why the hell video game commercials and tv shows showed people playing games like they had ape arms, and concentrating like they are pulling a leg numbing episode on the toilet in front of a TV screen. Thanks GR, now I know for sure that everyone in the world is fake. There goes my dreams.

What dorks! LOL! When I watch those clips I can't tell whether I'm insulted because of the stereotype, or busting a gut! Sex or games? Depends on your partner. I've had encounters where I would have rather played an hour of Cooking Mama.

On the other hand, I'm now married to a woman who, if I took her to E3, we'd spend the entire time in the hotel, finding new uses for the Wiimote! "E3? Maybe next year; turn on the rumble!"

well i guess we can confirm that Bhouse563 has no girlfriend. also this crap is embarrassing. All of these problems could be fixed with 15 minutes discussion with 3 real gamers. pay each of them 5 bucks. Are video games just so pointless to these people they cant spent 15 minutes and 15 dollars on a little research?

You know, it just seems like every guy I know, they are secretly envious of the guy who isn't on XBL because he's on a date.

All pressing buttons really hard and flailing around does is make your gaming performance worse, and makes you look like an idiot.
