Dont worry Em, he'll come back.
meantime, your xbox story reminded me of this:
I play an MMO game of ww2 fighter planes.. and the game has its own voice communication system built in.
Since the game is for mostly hard core gamers, almost everyone there has a HOTAS setup...thats a joystick, a throttle joystick and rudder pedals. That means both of your hands are always on a joystick and your feet control the rudders.
Voice comms everyone uses a headset with microphone and the game recognizes that you're transmitting when it hears a voice in the microphone...and it transmits.
ANYWAYS...
There we were, a group of about 20 virtual bomber planes flying in formation, comm chatter is mostly 'checks' from the wing leader to the people on the side and rear of the formation for enemy fighters.
and from one of the bombers in the middle of the formation.. comes the sound of a sexy female voice being.. intensely sensual and sexually suggestive. The GF or wife of this guy had apparently ambushed him and was trying to pull him from the chair to the bed.
stunned silence in the comm chatter....
... and his bomber violently banked to a side, crashed into two other players resulting in a massive fireball and his connection to the game dropped.
Best damn bombing run ever recorded in that game. XD
