The only lesson that is needed: Just don't do it. I did notice this on the PSN where any girl would speak and then instantly guys would just be amazed and try and get her attention. Firstly you have no idea what she is like and looks like. Secondly it is dam pervy. It is like youtube comments about "how sexy that girls is" and "I want to bang her". It is creepy.

Either:
go out and find a nice girl
or use a credible dating site as they have improved vastly from what they used to be like. You can find yourself a gaming girl this way

No room on Live for love then?

iamnsuperman4110d ago

If you can find it then well done because my observation of online gaming services is men turn primitive when a woman's voice is heard (I am a man myself and I do worry with some of the approaches other males use on these services).

Funnily enough it is never the other way round. It isn't like females turn into the panel of loose women (Awful UK TV show) when they hear a man is online

Snookies124110d ago

I agree, I've seen the same thing on ANY game-related activity. Someone says they're female on Xbox, PSN, even MMO games like WoW. Guys start to flock over to the person as if they'd never seen a girl before... It's kind of pathetic if you ask me. Just go out and date or something... I'm pretty sure you'll find more females outside than you will on a game. (As you stated above, you don't even know what the actual person looks like anyway. Just because they're female and play games doesn't automatically make them a catch lol.)

Xbox 360 Turns 18: Three Cheers to Live, Halo, and Red Rings

The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.

Great platform, and many of its games (not bc) still hold up well to this day. Like the PS3, I keep a 360 hooked up for those games you can't play any other way.

The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.

TheBrainZ154d ago

So many brilliant games. I still have one stored somewhere.

LG_Fox_Brazil154d ago

I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces

I remember when Live turned five and they had special edition controllers made and everything. Kind of wished they would do that again for the 20th.

Happy Birthday. OG XBL (and later 360 XBL) really revolutionized online gaming on console.

Crows90525d ago

Never understood the obsession with live...but I was gaming online on PC so not sure too much of what live did that the PlayStation didn't.

Profchaos525d ago

I had a PS2 and it's online experience was fine but it didn't have the same level of polish voice chat never worked for me but I was trying to play from Australia where not many people played PS2 online to the point where many devs simply dropped the online mode from the pal version.
That's not all PS2 games mind you there were plenty that worked perfectly but it was more on the dev and not the platform

During that era I also played a fairly large amount on online PC games and they were undoubtedly better than both systems. PS2 from functionality and Xbox because it was free

Playing my friends original Xbox it was a really polished experience it felt robust yet simple things just worked there was zero config.

Crows90525d ago (Edited 525d ago )

Yeah but the time ps3 came the experience was the same on both based on what I played...not too much online though to be honest. But I do think that the xbox did help bring online into the console space a lot. As well as PC games to consoles.

Profchaos525d ago (Edited 525d ago )

Today would of been the perfect day to drop halo 2 the original bc version free on gwg.... If only
