A Common Love

There is one thing in my school that seems to connect an emo kid with a teacher's pet or a geek with a jock, and that is Xbox.

Personally, I don't play - I watch. My boyfriends was way addicted to Xbox. He played Call of Duty 4 and Halo 3 and Gears of War 2 all the time. Not to my knowlege until he started attending my school, did I find out EVERYONE plays Xbox! I never realized that when people talked about headshots and needlers, powning and lagging - that they were talking about video games.

I watch my boyfriend play alot. I've learned the lingo, I can now offically use "rapped" and "noobs" in a sentence correctly. I've never played but what I have done is put the headset on and listen/talk to people playing with my boyfriend. Xbox talk is like a whole different language - its like a language of hate and anger. I don't think a sentence is said with out profanity in it! Is it the game that makes the players angry or is it the players who are angry play Xbox?

I guess I will never know. But if you ever want to stay connected with your fellow classmates and have a fun game of Spartans killing eachother than Xbox may be the game system for you!
