XBox Netplay Already
ElectusUnum writes "Well, it's been a little while since the XBox was released and people are already playing online! The folks at xboxgw.com have written a program to create an ethernet bridge between xbox's over the net, fooling the xbox's into thinking they're on a LAN. 1v1 seems to create no major lag and reports have come in like this one that claim up to four xbox's work fine. It seems a DSL connection is preferred for hosting the server." I want an X-Box so bad, or as I would call it, a DOA3-Box.

Somebody add to my story, please! I've got writer's constipation like you wouldn't believe! -peepoh Tuesday, November 6, 20001. Digging through some boxes in the Psychology lab where I work today, I discovered an ancient box full of syringes, heroine, and what lookedto be the Rorschact Test. Then I found instructions for an old experiment that had been carried out here in the lab during World War II.Apparently the experimenters hypothesized that if American soldiers were to shell the Germans with artillery shells containing a gaseous form ofheroine and then dropped Rorschacht test cards from airplanes, they'd all just fall down into heaps of twitching, high-as-a-kite junkies.Naturally, it all made little sense to me. But then hey, why the hell not try it? So after preparing a syringe with the heroine, I pulled down my pants and injected it directly into my penis. Hey, I'm no perv. There's a lot of blood vessels in there just waiting to carry the delicious drug straight to my brain. I guess I should have known better than to inject 60-year-old opioids into my privates, though, because before I could remove the needle I slumped over forward and continued to fall -- all the way INTO one of the Rorschacht Test cards. Then some oddly catchy electronic music kicked in. Where was it coming from? So began Stage 1-1 of my odyssey.

I just don't believe it.
Do you do it on purpose?
Why is this flamebait? Its quite an accurate summation of what has happened, mindless the pointless nerd-hyperbole. Really when you boil this story down, all that happened was someone got a box with an ethernet controller onto a network. This should be modded up as insightful!

first post
if taco wants an xbox then wtf doesn't he buy one? It's not like he's poor.
also did anyone else notice that the plural of xbox should be xboxes or even xboxen! And it's "they're" not "their".
As for VB, it sucks. The overhead is massive, it's platform dependent, it's from the Evil empire... is this just Flamebait or are you Serious ?

Did It finally get him?
does anybody else experience regular fuckups where it logs you out and won't let you reply or do anything? what the fuck is going on???
Shut up Wesley!

how in the fuck is this off topic? fuck you for being above the distinction between "their" and "there." You were raised by fucking germs.
I can't believe you got a bite out of that one. The I'm a consultant for Fortune 500... Linux troll was pretty good, but this was way too obvious (though I liked the throwaway comment about Perl - if you'd left it at that, it'd have been a great troll)
I was going to suggest you tried something a bit more subtle, but Dave21212 seems to have proven me wrong.
Tip of the hat, sir.
Hey buddy, why don't you get a life k? I mean REALLY, how much time did u spend thinking about and posting that message, why do you even waste a minimal amount of energy. Now you will no doubt flame me, but...surprise surprise you'll forget to mention the idea behind my post...I feel sorry for you.
I like the troll about being a "Visual Basic Kernel developer" the best. When is someone gonna post that one again?
