My late nights at Gen Con Indy were spent almost exclusively playing Halo on the con's LAN. I whipped butt often enough, but there were few experts (aka teenagers) who just have had infinitely more practice. I definitely ruled the old-enough-to-drink age category. The Xbox highlight for me was being on the 2-man team in a 2-on-7 team slayer match and winning by 10 kills.
Interestingly, I ran into more Xbox Live players during work-related meetings and catching up with old friends than I did at the LAN. (I even used my Live tag, PunisherONE, whenever I played and nobody recognized me. Boo-hoo.) Feel free to send me a friends request if you're on Xbox Live. Once 3.0 gets a dashboard, I'll be sure to invite you all to join the Undefeated Magazine squad.

Sorry to hear that Mike! :(

I got an Xbox this weekend! Oh boy! I love it, even though I got owned all weekend (first by my dad and then by the AI). Oh well. :)
I can't wait for Demon Stone in November! That was the first game I saw that made me seriously consider getting a console (this Xbox being my first ever console purchase). Then Matt Sernett showed me Halo...and my resistances to console games began to crumble. Finally, James Jacobs introduced me to Dead or Alive 3 and DOA Extreme Beach Volleyball labor day weekend, and well, that sealed the deal. Less than a week later...I have my first ever console and my first two games (that would be DOA3 and DOA XBV). So those are the only two games I have right now, and those will easily last me 'til Demon Stone and Halo 2. ;D

My favorite XBox game:
- Baldurs Gate I and II (Nothing to do with the PC version)
- Heroes of D&D (Lots of fun even if quite easy)
- Voodoo Vince (and your kids will love it also)
- Prince of Persia
- Legacy of Kain (Once you get used to the camera moves it's really a great game)
- Soul calibur (Better than DOA)
Waiting for Demon Stone and Doom 3...
I picked up FABLE on Tuesday afternoon, and have spent every waking hour that I'm not at work with controller in hand. I have even pondered pulling fire alarms, calling in bomb threats, and going into the basement and hacking open gas lines in order to get out of work early to go home and play. ;)
It is really a sweet game, and I purchased the XBox solely in preparation for it. Luckily, in the few weeks before FABLE's release I picked up Manhunt and Dragon's Lair 3D on ebay - also very cool games, IMO.

Have you considered quitting or calling in sick? Use up some of that time off you've been saving. Take a Fable holiday.
I will definately be taking a Halo 2 Holiday in November (about 5 days worth). Fable was really stunning, but, unfortunately, not very challenging. I hope that its design influences future RPG's. Come to think of it, Fable is probably the reason why posting on the boards have been so slow in the last week. Hmm...
