hello?? am I alone here??

Anybody home?

Lately it's been hard for me to log on to Halo 2 before 9:30-10 p.m. PST and nobody is around at that time on a weeknight. Which is sucky. For me. I know that people have lives and all, but why can't they have them at my convenience?

The thing is, few people in my clan or friends list are on PST. Most are on eastern time and I wouldn't expect them to be awake at 1 a.m. on a weeknight. But I hate playing matchmaking by myself because I have a hard time dealing with all the (insert favourite expletive here) from the annoying punks who are on at that time. I mean, how many times can one be sworn at and browbeaten before one completely gives up XBL?

I love big clan games, but the way my life is ordered right now it's hard to be on XBL when the easterners are congregating. And weekends are usually a write-off. Ah well. End rant.

Meanwhile, PS3 ans Wii are out this month. Some of the people I've talked to who are buying PS3 are simply getting the system to sell for a nice profit on eBay. Don't be surprised to see a bunch of PS3s pop up for exorbitant prices. Last I checked a few were already being promised for $1,000 US. I should have bought one and resold. Ah well. So it goes.
