Look, I respect the idea of LAN parties, so don't get me wrong. But thank god for the Internet. The picture above is the ridiculous nonsense my wife and I rigged up so we could play
Resident Evil 5 cooperatively on two screens. For whatever reason, the review build doesn't support Xbox LIVE, so we had to drag a second TV and a second debug 360 into one freakin' room. This is what I get for working from home, I guess.
The results, of course, have been glorious -- it's
Resident Evil 5 co-op; the echoing of Chris and Sheva's dialogue has not been glorious, however. So should we add a pair of headphones to the mix or what?
To those of you who won the Silent Hill CDs in the contest I held in my cblog back in 1957, your stuff is on the way. Keep an eye out for it this week and shoot me an email when you get it. Sorry for the delay.

Actually, I played the original Gears of War this way and it was delightful. Totally worth the effort.
I hate you. :(
Well, it wasn't really for fable, we just set up his tv next to mine while he stayed at my house, but it made some games easier to play together.
My wife and I actually plan on doing this for a few games. Give me an excuse to pick up that red xbox.
Nice furniture, by the way. I dig the entertainment center.
Sometimes, just sometimes, I wish I had your problems :P
Also, sweet bins are sweet.
However, if you're in the same city, you very well might be able to use Hamachi to play system link across the internet.
One question though... why not just string a network cable over to where the TV was? You can get a 100' patch cord for about $20.
Damn, I never thought about the echo!
Shit...
I'm not sure why. We could have just as easily played splitscreen (on Halo 1 and Halo 2, not CS) but it's cool having your own screen, yet being able to holler across the room at your friend.
Sucks that the review build didn't support LIVE, it definitely sounds like an inconvenience, especially to check out an integral part of the game.
its IKEA furniture so probably there was a set of bins involved, how do i know? i have the same set... and table...and boxes...
