In the game, players can talk to each other using headsets. In between games, in a chatroom, the boy said a voice suddenly chimed in that he says he didn’t recognize. “Some dude just popped out of nowhere, and basically said he’s going to hack me, he’s going to get my information, call the swat team over to my front yard.”


The teen ignored it, and kept playing.


About 20 minutes later, Lewisville received a call from an operator with the AT&T Instant Message Relay Service. The system is designed to allow hearing impaired users to reach someone with a standard telephone. The operator said they had received a message that a person was shot and that someone was still inside the house shooting.

Someone got T-Bagged. But really. Anyone whose played any time online knows the annoyances of playing with other people on Xbox Live.

I was in Team Fortress, listening to "Arabic?" Techno, Polka, amoung other 'interesting' music. I actually enjoyed the music, playing as a medic chargin' my Uber. :P
