Party time! Xbox Live is turning 5IVE

November 15th, 2002 holds a special place in our hearts, because it was the day Xbox Live launched in North America and the day gaming, life and humanity as a whole changed for the better. Fast forward to the year 2007 and you'll see that organic foods and saving the trees is all the rage, but you'll also see that Xbox Live is a huge success and the best online gaming service on any platform.

So, Xbox Live is 5IVE and its North American birthday is coming next Thursday and it'll be partying hard ... online, of course. The Frag Dolls will be online playing some old-school GRAW and others are being being asked to dust off their copy of Return to Castle Wolfenstein and game all night. As you can tell, it's going to be a mellow affair, but Xbox Live isn't all that old yet and we're just glad we didn't have to throw a Barney themed party. But just you wait Xbox Live until your 21st, because we'll be hitting the streets with controllers in hand and Frag Dolls on each arm ... just wait.

21. It should be noted that they're not playing GRAW, but instead the very first Ghost Recon.

22. I was at Best Buy the morning it launched along with about 5 or 6 moms who were sent there by their kids...I then went home and played NFL Fever 2003...

23. I remember buying the shitty version of Counter-Strike on Xbox back in the day and owning faces so hard because all the little XBL kids didn't know shit about the game.

24. Wes, your stories are barely a couple sentences. How is that supposed to ease my craving for funny and accurate, relatively-quick news? Duh, it's not. Your blog is not worth reading to me. Get some pic-a-la-tures.

25. Yeap, Ghost Recon is what they will be playing as it's five years old also, GRAW is only a year and half old.
