For the second weekend in a row I’ve had friends over to play video games.
Back in the day, I did this all the time. My wife even got into the action a couple times with some 4-player Mario Kart action. since the advent of MMORPGs, however, my co-op gaming has only been through virtual meetings.
Now that I’m playing more 360 these days, I tend to have friends over to satisy their curiosity over what the buzz is all about. Knowing that they’re going to get their own 360s saddens me a bit, in knowing that we won’t all huddle together in one room laughing our asses off together, anymore.
Xbox Live is a GREAT deal of fun, but thanks to 360 shortages, I’ve been reminded just how much fun *true* co-op gaming is.
