To be honest, I'm just a casual gamer. While I enjoy the Halo experience, I tend to only play on LANs with my friends. Truth be told, I think Xbox Live is sort of a crock of shit. If you're not being called a racial slur by some immature 9th grader, then you are being talked down to by another immature 9th grader who feels you are beneath him (as if having a "skill" at a video game [and I firmly believe "skill" is not the proper word that should be used] makes you some sort of superior being).

That being said, when I do sign into Xbox Live I will probably be spending my time in unranked games - mainly Team SWAT - because I cannont stand people who take winning seriously. That, and so there is no reason for me to have to talk to my team, which allows me to mute everyone.

Outside of the video game realm I am a writer - and not just someone who says that to sound intelligent. I am an editor and writer for a local newspaper and have future plans of moving back to Chicago (I'm originally from the southside) and taking a job with an even larger publication than the one I'm currently at. Other than that, I've also had an original screenplay produced and performed (if you like Kevin Smith's "Clerks," then I think you'd find my style amusing). Interestingly enough, the screenplay ended up winning first place in the competition it was entered in.

My Clan
I am currently an accepted member of the Clan of Bobs, however, I am not yet an official member. Once they (Clan of Bobs) hammer out the re-editions to the current clan rosters, I will hopefully become a full-time member. Until then, courage.
