I`m still to this day convinced people found a way to log friends in on xbox 360 or something... Some of those Names I didn`t see once in the Hundreds of hours I played after the servers went down. None of us intended to stay on as none of us could have known, however knowing that every single game could be your last ever online game drove me to play more and more, I ended up playing for 3 days straight without sleep and eating whilst playing. in the same manner that an impromptu party is always the best party, This was the best time I ever had on XBL so there was literally no better way to send off the game. My OG gamertag took a hit from a Banhammer after I stupidly downloaded games from oman ( just following instructions on the front page of all the big game sites at the time ) so I lost all my friends from this era :( Can I claim 53? :) bLiGhTy [EDIT] only 10 of the 27 articles are still up.
