Two years ago when I first got my 360 I set to the task of populating my friends list. Two of my friends, being in the military were not able to immediately accept. The worst was my friend Dan who only now has gotten around to getting back online. It's weird not having him at the top of my friends list with "pending" next to his name.
Four of us had been talking for two weeks about a game night. We had to badger Dan into renewing his gold membership. As usual there was a lot of email chatter about what we would end up playing. At some point someone mentioned Doom II on XBLA and somehow that's the idea that got latched onto. So when Dan did get around to renewing, he downloaded Doom II as well. It turned out to be the only game the four of us had in common. So there we were, four dudes on different corners of the Earth, connected trough miles of high-speed fiber optics and networking equipment, with thousands of dollars in state of the art entertainment systems, running a game that was made over a decade ago.
It was fun.
