Now I'm happy to say that more people in the clan are starting to realize the joys of just "Gaming" with no built in limits on a certain type or genre or even online play involved. Personally I own hundreds of games and a fair amount are online, even more are offline and single player games however. I think Xbox Live Party chat has helped keep the clan together and enable all the members in the clan to branch out and play other types of games, even solo games and still feel part of the clan via the party chat option.
Many times I will be on a single player game but remain in a party chat with the other clan members and we all joke around and have a good time none the less, it's all in good fun. Now more and more people are realizing that it's okay to be on other games, there is more to a gaming clan and gaming community then forcing people to play the same game all the time.
Yesterday was a prime example of why things like XBL party chat has been instrumental in helping our clan stay in touch and together, we managed to get two Black Ops GameBattles and win both, but in the meantime we had people playing other games in the party chat, when the GB was over the team joined back in and we all carried on. It's a wonderful thing.
We can have some people on a MMO like Lotro or Runescape and be in the party chat, this even helps with co op campaign in some games, we were even able to do a leadership meeting on XBL and I thought it sounded and went better then any of the ones we did on Skype.
So I was pretty happy to see some of these changes in attitude and now people seem to know it's okay to buy a different game, even if the rest of the clan doesn't have it. You are still allowed to have fun, game and do what you want and play what your interested in without getting burdened or having a guilt trip laid upon you.
Game on my friends!
