You're a guest on my Xbox. Act like it.

A few general things to keep in mind when playing on someone else's Xbox:

• I've got like a dozen people on my Live friends list, and I like it that way. Don't add 20 people to my list after I go to bed, and then leave me to find out when teabggerINURFACE877 spams me with messages as I'm playing the next day.



• Don't demand that everyone plays every multiplayer game on the hardest setting when (1) no one else wants to and (2) you can barely handle it yourself.



• You're the only person in the house playing that obnoxious FPS game. TURN DOWN THE VOLUME. Tip: If people four rooms away from you are diving for cover every time you shoot, it's probably a little too loud.



• You have awful taste in games. They're not fun to play, and they're even less fun to watch. Quit bringing your bargain bin crap to my house and then hijacking my system to play them for hours. I feel like I need to give my 360 a bath after you leave. Also my eyes.



• Your long, rambling, outrageous stories about the things you did in games are not believable or interesting. No, no one believes that you beat that one game using only your big toe and got a special "Big Toe" achievement. Or that you unlocked Mario as a playable character. Or that the game developer called to personally congratulate you. Yes, we know you insist that it all really happened, and yet somehow we don't care.
