Love on Xbox Live


Even with more than two million members, Xbox Live® is a true community, and occasionally the interaction goes beyond gaming. In honor of Valentines Day, I'd like to introduce six gamers who met the love of their lives on Xbox Live.

Anjo Banjo and liquilife
Anjo Banjo and liquilife met playing Project Gotham Racing® 2. She's from Sweden and moved to Spokane, Washington to be with him. Now they run Seatag.com together.

"We met on an online Xbox Live community site, where I was issued a challenge in Project Gotham Racing 2," says Anjo Banjo. "So we picked a date and a time (which for him was 6:00 P.M. and for me 4:00 P.M.). I can't remember who won, but I think we both had our share of good races in that game. After being gaming buddies for a few months we started working together on a few websites. We noticed that we worked well together, and for some reason we never really got bored ofeach other's company.

"As circumstances allowed, I moved from Sweden to America to be with him, also to find out if there was more than just these 'online interest feelings.' As he picked me up at the airport, we knew that our feelings were not only that of an online crush, but they were real. Now we live together. We owe it all to Xbox® for finding each other, and letting our love grow on online gaming, even though it was hard being so far apart."

Robin 1 and miz bitch
They met playing Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six® 3: Black Arrow™. He's from Canada, she's from California. They are getting married on March 4 in Porterville, California and are expecting Xbox Live members to attend.

"The game we met in is Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow," Robin 1 says. "We are members of the same clan within that game. How we met was kind of a fluke; we were members of the same clan and gamed together but nothing more. My life was kind of driving me crazy and a fellow clan member ZDeath12 convinced me I needed a vacation so I flew out to Seattle to stay with him for a week. I gamed with miz bitch while I was there and my third night there he called her on the phone and talked to her for a few minutes. Then he decided to go to bed. He asked if I wanted to talk to her and I accepted. We were on the phone that night for about five hours and it has stayed that way every day since.

"We text message each other all day, then when we get home we talk on the phone for three or four hours, then get off the phone and game for two to six hours depending on if it is the weekend or not. We talked for about three weeks after I got home before we decided to meet. The first plan was to have her come here in September, but about four weeks after being home I decided I couldn't wait to see her and I flew to California to meet her. She was more than I ever could have hoped for. It was probably about six weeks after our first call on the phone we decided we were just perfect for each other and wanted to get married. We know it sounds crazy and very soon but to the both of us it just feels so right."

Miss iRiE and Vision2279
Miss iRie, who you all know from Gamertag Radio, is also one of the new Xbox MVPs. She met Vision2279 in Halo® 2, moved from the golden state to the, uh, cheese state, and is trying on wedding dresses.

"Vision and I met in Halo 2; we had arranged to have a friendly match," says Miss iRiE. "At first I would join private games that he would have with his other Xbox Live buddies, and we would message each other between matches and sometimes during matches. Next thing you know, we were meeting on Xbox Live, MSN and over the phone pretty much every day.

"A few months later we decided it was time to meet. At the time I used to live in California and he was living in Wisconsin. Since he had the better job, we decided to first live in Wisconsin and then a few years down the line we'll move back to California.

"As far as wedding plans go, we are still in process of picking a date for the wedding.  We are thinking sometime in the spring or summer of this year. I have looked at several wedding dresses and am working on picking one out. However, we have decided that this will take place in California.

"I never thought I would've met such a great guy on Xbox Live. I am not one to go around Xbox Live and flirt with guys, so this was a very special exception. We had so much in common that I really didn't want to risk not giving it a shot."
