XBLA Texas Hold'em

So yesterday I ended up trying this out again and I decide to join a 50K room and play serious. I got up to about 400,000 and then the host quit so we made a new room at 50K which meant I have about 350,000 in the bank.

Then somehow, and I don't know how, we decided to go all in at the begining of every hand and just see who would win. I ended up about 700,000 negative. I'd care more, but it was the most fun I've had with this game so far.

So it turns out if you lag out of a tournament you win.

I got 80,000 grand because my modem lagged out.

This game finally motivated me to find a decent solution to stream music from my Mac to the 360. Hours of that cheesy country music last night almost drove me insane.

Connect360 is what I'm using, in case anyone's wondering.

Hello iPod support!

I didn't realise you could play songs and then enter arcade titles. I'm playing Poker to The Sound of Animals Fighting right now and it's hot.

Are they a SoCal band? I bought their CD down in LA and honestly didn't think anyone else knew who they were, let alone actually enjoy their stuff. Didactic art-metal-prog

They're not so much a band really.

If anything The Sound of Animals fighting is a huge side project by well over a dozen members of established bands. Infact the second CD doesn't even have all the members of the from the first CD back becuase many of them were to busy touring.

They played a few shows last month and according to most of the members those are they're only planned shows ever.

I've made it into the final three of every tournament I've played for the last few days.

The problem is, when you're in the final three for over an hour and no one is getting anywhere, it's hard to stay motivated when you're playing for money which will be reset in a few days; so I've tended to lose all my money on purpose to whoever I want to win.

When the money count is reset and we keep it all for good, that won't be the case any longer.
