I'm not sure where you think you are, but as far as i know, this is a forum, where we DISCUSS shit.
You seem to be spending an inordinate amount of time on this issue. I'm thinking you're one of these douche admins they're talking about (to be clear, i don't play any of these games).
In Everquest... or any other game where people would do a /shout in the zone for strangers to help them transfer items from one character to another, i would do a /shout I'LL HELP YOU! Choose me! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! I'LL HELP YOU!
Personally i think the Umbra weapon effect sucks. Since if you have any other soulgem in your inventory, it fills them up first.
Much easier to just get the spell and trap souls when you want to.
The 360 is loud? What's so loud about it? I haven't noticed any thing out of the ordinary. I can hear the fan going if i put my ear next to it, but the fans on my projector or plasmas are even louder than that. I certainly can't hear the 360 when i'm 3-4' away from it.
I've only played Condemned and Tomb Raider on my 360, and i would say they both have been awesome... and neither of those would i classify as a FPS (Condemned is much too slow for that).
