Tis the day before launch
All is frickin' crazy in da house
All the gamers are screaming
No beer in da house

Waiting all night in snow or in the rain
Chillin' on da sidewalk for a good gamer gain

Sippin' on a 40 waiting for the store to open
Drinking and pounding and wishin' and hopin'

Imagining da box in the living room
As night grows colder, wetter, and gloom

All of the sudden with glory and glee
Da lights turn on - the XBox waiting for me!

Stumbling in the store with all your might
Wrestling to get your XBox with a long bloody fight

The XBox in hand and shouts with tears and joys
Ready to bust it out and start playin' Halo with da boys

Drivin' on home with the XBox in da car
Man, my house never felt so d a m n far

Pullin' up the driveway with XBox in hand
Beers crackin' open, drunkeness fills the land

My badass Halo is gleaming from my screen
Smiles a mile high and drunk with glee

The room smells of body odor and makes my nose go tight
And to all with an XBox, have a great gaming night!

- I just pulled this one out of my ass...hope you enjoyed :D

Thanks for the comments so far...I can't wait to grab my controllers and hook my XBox to the new Advanced AV Pack I already have hooked up to my TV! :D

Maximus told a great story of drama and suspense,
of getting his Xbox, no matter, the expense.

Not rain, nor snow, nor cold of night,
could stop him from getting his box of delight.

He said with shout, "Let's not forget the beer,
we'll be drinking all night, that much is clear!"

When the store opened, he's the first one in line,
hung-over, he grabs his Xbox in world-record time.

Racing home drunk, crazy like a fox,
He opens his prize, a shiny new Xbox.

Well not much was heard of this man anymore,
he stayed drunk in his house and got every high score.

Every once in a while, a shout would cry out,
"I've won again!", it was Maximus, no doubt.

A many thanks to SquirrelJam and I must say
What a nicely written poem of my first XBox day

An appreciation for mentioning the beer
And that my first drunken day with the XBox is near

It was a nice touch to mention my new high scores
And not focussing the attention to my tired sleeping snores

I wish you the same great time when you get your machine
Playing like a mad man with shouts and a scream

Until then, I'm going to end this pathetic reply
And just say thank you again, and good bye :D

hehehe...:D

Don't worry, xboxlover, your time will soon come,
you'll soon be playing HALO and having some fun.

'Till March, is a long wait, no doubt it's a drag,
so I'll simply give my support by saluting your flag.

aghhhhh I am having a hard time thinking about anything but playing.... I picked up a book to get my mind off it but d@mn its the third book this week. I read halo and potter and no musketeers who fight in the streets. Cant wait to have my little black box. I think I might call in and say I've got chicken pox. Controller in hand with fever spinning round. max will try but his @ss knows hes going down. smiles all night as we are filled with glee. Sh_t to much beer, f_uck now I've got to pee.

I see Scarecrow is eager and jumping out of his socks
Trying to call in sick for work claiming to have chicken pox

But he does have a point that I should watch my intake of beer
Falling asleep from drunkeness is truly what I fear

Drinking too much beer and no where to pee
Except urinating on a PS2 poster with a face full of glee

Feeling so pumped with goosbumps of joy
Realizing that the XBox is not like a purple LameCube toy

I shall throw in PGR and then a long game of Halo
Eating a fresh sandwich, hey, hold the mayo

But it's all good and done after I get my gaming fix
With JeremyXBA on my case begging for camping pics

I'll see what I can do since I don't have a digital camera
Perhaps I can scan some pics to make a fool of my camping dilemna

Though, I am slightly bummed I can't play Scarecrow with a little NFL Fever
But I can still do the trash talk towards this Beaver Cleaver

And to all I wish for an excellent fight
When you get your XBox at the store after a long cold ass night!

:D

Just another one that I pulled out of my ass :D

It may be awhile before you'll hear again from me,
I just got my Xbox, it's too good to believe.

HALO is awesome, it's more than I expected!
I love this darn game, I totally respect it!

I've got Gothem, and Frenzy and NFL Fever,
Another controller, makes another believer.

I just stopped playing to write a quick note,
to say Xbox is best, to brag and to gloat.

No other console, can compete,
Xbox is just too good, it can't be beat

Just one more word, to those "fanboy" fella's,
GC and PS2 suck and your just jealous!

Nice Squirreljam!

Here's my experience:

Twas the night before launch and I was there at 5:30
Sitting in my camping chair straight and sturdy

Ready for a night with 13 1/2 hours to wait
Yes, a hell of a long time, but the moment was great

As I was sitting there alone excited and ready to burst
I felt strong pride knowing I was first

Over 3 hours thereafter more hardcore XBoxers appeared
A wonderful moment for me and my eyes almost teared

7:00 am on November 15th was the destined time to await
Trying to stay awake eventhough I felt faint

Adrenaline was my friend to assist me in feeling alive
Next thing I knew it was already 5 (O'clock am)

Two hours to go and I down another beer
Staying awake and having no fear

The time hit 7:00 am and I was in delight
The automatic doors open and I yell with all my might!

I was first to buy the XBox at the checker stand
Itchin' and waitin' to get that bad ass machine in my hand

And to my delight the XBox is handed to me
Shouting HURRAY with happiness and glee

Running out the door to get to my car
Slamming on the gas to get home which isn't too far

Tired as can be with my eyes blood shot red
My adrenaline wore off, d a m n, I'm ready for bed

But off to work I went because I had to go
Yes, this sucks ass, imagine, this must blow

Realizing by the time I get off I will have been awake for a long ass time
I'm ready to jet home to get an early bedtime

Realizing how lame this must be since I won't have the energy to play
Feeling like an old man at 26, my hair feels grey!

But a long rest awaits so I can jump on my XBox and play
But first I must get through this long ass day

Looking back on this one thing is for sure
I have my XBox, rest assured!

The day has finally come in which all dreams about Xbox come true. True gamers, here and there,waiting for the day in which a brave team, will step up and bring to them the realism and exciment of games they wish to play. There it is more heavy than other consoles, but its inside full of the true mechanism which makes it true and mighty in its nature. Its competitors only caring about wealth make thier systems smaller and slimmer just to save money, they don't care about gamers, they only care about the money, for their overconfidence of no competence, they put an untrue and weak mechanism, which they praise to the people to be a true successor of its past, but they lied.

I can't be jealous...I have my Xbox already (gotta...stop....playing...HALO...):D

Anyways, I've got a carol of my own:

Experience has paid off playing pre-Xbox and lightened the chore,
Playing the final version of Halo, already made it to level four

No late-night camping for Xbox--SF evaded that hex,
by coaxing an Xbox from a lady friend @ EB for sex :D

Oh, great it was, turning on Xbox early this morning
To actually find out that Halo had a story!!!

Intriguing it t'is, and persuades me to continue play
Although some Covenant AI is Godlike, others are childsplay

And how fun it is to blast an alien from point-blank range,
sniping with a pistol when I have to resort to brains

Backing up my crew sucks, but it's fun nonetheless,
How else can you be a hero? With this game I am blessed

And as much as it kicks @ss, I can't wait to play it on PC
plus Rogue Leader on Sunday I'll play all day on GC!!!:D

The best of both worlds, ladies and gentlemen; the best FPS of 2k1 (Halo), and the best shooter of 2k1(RL).

Twas the day after I bought XBox while sitting at work
Getting here late after camping overnight feeling like a jerk

Eager to get finished and to head home
My head is spinning as my mouth starts to foam

Ready to jet home after a 3 hour XBox tease
To play all weekend with perfect gaming ease

Dreaming about playing Halo with a buddy on co-op
Opening my cooler, grabbing a beer, and shutting it with a plop!

Crackin' it open as I tilt my head back
The cool refreshing taste in my mouth and as I keep my controller on my lap

Imaging all of this as the day rolls on
Waiting for 9:00pm to come and then I am gone!

Realizing the minute hand feels like hours
Dissin' on PS2 and GameCube fans...d a m n cowards

Wondering what the hell if they know what they are missin'
As I look around for a PS2 and GameCube poster so I can do some p i s s i n'

Coming to XBoxAddict.com and enjoying another stay
Waiting for the hours to go by so I can be on my way

To play my XBox all through the night
Playing some Halo as I can't wait to fight

And to all, I thank you for reading as I always enjoy my stay
So, get your ass playing this week starting today :D

Another I just pulled out of my ass :D

T'was 5 days after my XBox purchase
All is rested and my games flourish

Busting out NFL Fever 2002 for a nice healthy joust
Not a sober buddy playing in the house

After kicking ass at this amazing game
As I am drinking a beer and not looking back at NFL 2K

After a severe beating I say to my friend
"Let's play Co-op on Halo and make a Covenant end"

Guzzlin' down another I put the game on in
I let out a huge belch as I throw the bottle in the garbage bin

Riding the Warthog never felt so good
Splattering bloody Covenant all over the hood

Playing for two hours to get our Halo fix
We shove in PGR for some amazing racing kicks

We drop another beer as we lean on back
Listening to my personal CDs I ripped on the track

Blazing down the road hittin' 140
Admiring my Porche Boxter as I sip another 40

Playing this game for an additional 2 hours
Loving every moment of the XBox and it's awesome power

Noticing the time, d a m n, it's gettin' late
As I zip past through the last curve to the finishing gate

Another bad ass time playing, yes, my game collection is tight
And to all of my fellow gamers, have an a great night!

-Just another I pulled out of my ass :D
