I'm going to put this here because it's not exactly entertainment or game....it's just a general story....
Ok, so I went over to my mom's friend's house the other day to drop some stuff off.....I was hanging out, and all of a sudden, I heard Halo coming from their basement. So I went to check it out, and their basement is amazing! Instead of a tv, they have a projector and screen....anyway, this doesn't have to do with their basement. As I was chatting with people, it was mentioned that I should plug my 360 into the i-net, and then I could play against them...
so, after it being explained to me, I figured that would be pretty easy. Pug it into the router, no problem, right? Well, my network cable is 6 feet....the router is further than 6 feet away from the 360....lol, i think my wall unit is a bit further than 6 feet from the router
so now I go wandering around town, trying to price network cables. the cheapest i found was at Walmart. So I was thinking that after pay day, I might go and get one
Well, I was sitting today having supper, when all of a sudden, I thought about the stuff that came with my 360....there was a bunch of stuff that i just pulled out of the box, and left sitting on the wall unit. so I ran over there, and, low and behold, there was a network cable! It's about 14 feet, and it just makes it to the router!!!! So after school today (lol, yes I am in class right now) I'm going to try to hook it up and see what happens!!!!
(lol, and yes Bryan, had I realized it, we wouldn't have had to run back to get your router last friday!)

alright....so, to continue the saga, i get home, try to plug everything in, and my xbox wouldn't work!!!! So I phoned microsoft, and in the meantime, my xbox completely stopped working - it wouldn't even turn on! But then, as i was on hold, I unplugged then replugged everything in, and voila, it worked! So I eventually got to play Halo online!!!!
