The day I sold my soul.
If you're like me, you took one look at the monthly rates for Xbox live, and cried. Just kidding, I didn't really cry. I did cringe, however. I couldn't help but feel like there were so many other things I could do with my money. Finally, about three weeks ago, upon hanging out with one of my best friends, she convinced me to at least give the thirty day free trial a go. Sure that I would find nothing really interesting in online gaming, I agreed and we set up an account.

I'm not sure how I ever lived without Live. Seriously! It's that extra spark that you never knew was missing from every game you play. When the solo story is won, there's always that little part of you that wishes that there was more to the game than just this. Live is the definition of more than this. It adds an extra dimension of playability to every game that's online capable. So, what exactly do you need to get the most out of your online gaming experience? Sit back and relax. I shall enlighten you.
A Gaming Party
A good group of friends is the most important part of any Live gaming you do. After all, it's no fun to just go through countless hours of Matchmaking in Reach with no one to get your back. Whether you're playing house on a sandbox server (don't judge me) or taking on bigger teams on the "serious" servers (try not to get them too mad with your flagrant griefing), a good group of people to do it with is absolutely essential.
Patience
Okay, you are going to get people better than you when you play online. Trust me. The mature thing to do is to suck it up, and go down quietly (yes, that is what she said). It is definitely not a good idea to scream profanities at them over the mic. First of all, you look like a loser, and second of all, you mad bro? Seriously. The people online are not affected by your tantrums in the slightest. If anything, they're terribly amused. The only thing you can expect to get out of screaming like a two year old, is kicked from the game.
Payment
Yes, sadly, all free trials come to an end. Now, if you really didn't enjoy yourself, feel free to cancel the renewal, and go along your merry way. I, on the other hand, will be renewing my subscription faster than you can say master card. Yes, most people use their credit cards, seeing as Microsoft has made this method easy and stress free by allowing you to do it right through your console. However, if you find that your not exactly packing plastic, feel free to run off to Target and get your hands on a prepaid card.
