This all sounds good. I have just started fooling around with RB6 Vegas, but like it so far. Gears I loved, finish it on casual, about half way through on Hard Core. and hooked up with a friend I work with for a co op and took out the final dude on insane. that was tough. My buddy, this is all he plays now, and he agrees, lots of crazy buttholes playing. he only plays player matches now, no more ranked.
Anyway, I like Wobbly's idea of playing a shooter maybe on a weekly basis. I do not have all of those but the used game store is my friend.
Grey, believe me, you would have an equal chance with me online...lol
