1 vs. 100 - XBox style!

Ok say what you will about XBox or XBox Live but I'll be the first to admit that MS doesn't fuck up everything...just their operating systems, traffic in the good old town of Redmond, WA, thousands of people's lives from losing their jobs and, of course, the social lives of anyone still working there.

I will say though...they may have done something right with the designing of the 1 vs. 100 XBox Live Arcade game that was released to the American public in BETA form last night. The game is based on the popular game show of the same name and works like this: One player is chosen at random to be "The One," and 100 more are selected for The MOB ("Mass of Bodies"). Everyone else is in the 'audience' but can still play along with the game.

Ok so, yeah, a lot of people were pissed that they set the cap at 50,000 people and remember IT'S STILL FUCKING BETA! There will be issues and I have no doubt that my good friend over at MS testing the game will be working late nights (unfortunately) blasting bugs so that YOU can experience the game in all it's glory.

Side note: the cap for participants will be removed for this Saturday's game...

It should count as something that people weren't ABLE to log on-the game obviously has enough hype to grasp interest. And who's going to complain that there's a possibility of winning tangible prizes!
So...unhook the IV, go get some sun this week and I'll see you on Saturday!

Personal note: the game test lead is a fuckin' uber pimp...not to mention hot & very smart...but the line forms behind me ladies. ;)
