Used to get 12-16 of us (with 3-4 tvs setup) together 4-5 times a year and play Halo 3 quite a bit all in the same room. Was a lot of fun to yell and scream at each other and eat crap and just have a good time.

With XBox live (and whatever the Sony version is) now people sit by themselves in their basement and play I suppose. Just not the same.
