True Gaming Friends: Xbox 360 Edition
By Shaun Hatton - May 21st, 2008
We all have friends who tend to disappear from time to time. Usually, the case is that said friend gets a girlfriend or boyfriend and then starts spending every waking hour with their new love interest. When the relationship ends, said friend may come ’round and start hanging out with you again if all contact between you had been previously lost.
In the gaming world, we go through a somewhat similar thing, only minus the human connection at times. We not only have to worry about our few real-life friends running off with human love interests, but we have to also worry about our good friends falling in love with consoles such as the Xbox 360.
Sadly, my True Gaming Friend, Adam, is now the owner of an Xbox 360. He and I got together Friday night and when he left my place, he took a stack of 360 games to play. I’ll assume that’s where he’s been all week. Sure, you might think that it’s only been about five days since we last spoke. But that’s a long time for us! Oh Adam, it was nice being your friend when you didn’t have an Xbox 360. I’ll look forward to our eventual reunion when your beloved new console gets the red ring of death.

At least my reasons for disappearing are valid…
I’M LOOKING AT YOU, ADAM!
“Hi, it’s your friend from before you had an Xbox. Remember me?”
Silly, that’s what Xbox live is for. You don’t even have to hang out to hang out.
I’m editing a podcast with me and Adam in it. It’s kind of like hanging out with him, only now I can edit what he says. I think I might like it better.
My personal podcast of Adam and I ended up as podcast of me talking to hot chicks. I searched and replaced Adam with Megan Fox.
Can you fall in love with an Xbox?
I can’t. But Adam can. And has.
What’s disturbing is what comes after.
And by that, you mean Adam?
