But the whole hitting on girls thing I find extremely annoying especially if we're on the same team and my teammates are too distracted by the fact that a girl plays video game to bother winning.

I think it's funny. I try really hard to focus on the game, but I talk on voice chat, because I find it highly amusing when people get distracted by me.

I do know what you mean, though. I once played Halo with my best friend's boyfriend, who's a very good friend of mine as well. But he found it funny to run around killing me instead of move on with the game. And he's really, REALLY good, so there was no chance of me getting passed that.

Whenever I play online as soon as I talk, some person from the US will call me a 'stupid Brit' and continue douche-like behaviour and racial slurs. I'm not even British. So yeah, playing online with strangers is annoying and aggrevating.

hahhaha Ive played with a group of Irishmen before who called me a 'American twat' but the only thing worse than being insulted because of your nationality is being paired with people who don't even speak the same language as you. Ive been teamed up with people from Russia, France, and Mexico I don't know why the Halo 3 server would do that to me on matchs were team communication is very important.

Ah man playing online is always funny. My psn id is ElDiablo4 so all these mexican guys always add me on their friends list and talk to me in spanish. It's pretty cool, me and my friends always get a kick out of playing with some kid who doesn't even speak the same language as us. It makes the game more challenging and it's pretty neat when you somehow understand eachother, haha.

Oh and as for the question of which console is better, Xbox 360 or PS3? It's actually pretty hard to say, each system has their own strong points and weak points. The 360 does have better online but it costs money. The 360 is relatively cheap but it has a tendency to malfunction and break. The PS3 is more powerful and is capable of higher output in terms of graphics and resolution. Each system has their own share of good exclusives and, really, they're both good consoles. I'd buy 'em both but it costs too much money so for now i'll stick with my PS3.

btw, i typed this up on my PS3

the best way to make this decision is to go through the exclusives for each system and whichever one has more exclusives that you want over the other then that should be your choice. I personally like ps3 better. The main reason I got my ps3 was for FF13 and they ended up giving it away to Xbox....greedy bastards...but anyways....now I also have a blu-ray player so I don't mind it.

I kind of tried to establish a definite decision the way I established which colleges I would apply to.

If I had a difficult time getting around on the site, there was something wrong. I'm online fairly often and I am usually able to find what I need.

The X-Box site was kind of obnoxious. I didn't find what I wanted and it was difficult to get around.

The PS site was easier to search and therefore made me feel more comfortable.

I'm still not sure, but the PS3 is winning my heart now, which sucks in a way cause I really wanted the 360.

Any other ways you think I should try to establish a choice?

Should probably get the 360 then.

I got one last week actually and i am very happy with it. Fallout 3 looks to be a winner.

Even though I have feelings for another console?
