The Hushed Casket was founded in 2002 shortly after the launch of the XBOX console. Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

Trimming the Friends List

Submitted by Midnight on Sat, 01/20/2007 - 11:40am.

As we play more ladder and tournament games I have been accruing more people on my friends list in order to coordinate games. Being someone who likes to keep things tidy, I decided to take a look at my friends list (using xbox.com) and trim the fat. I realized that I have a lot of friends left over from the original Xbox that don't play 360. I cut all of these except "thx brick." I had no idea how many THX'ers this included. Brick, Insane, Maverick, Data Dog...just to name a few. Then I cut all of the people that never respond to my game invites. Overall, I had 74 friends when I started and now I have 59. Now, a couple questions:

Prey,
Of the names THX Futball 1337, THX The Prey, THX 1337sauce, and THX I AM 1337, which do I need to keep?

Willdabeast,
Will THX Hubcap still be in use for a while?

Shyzza and Foulbreed,
Thanks for making things easy for me with just one gamertag. :)

I constantly need to clean

I constantly need to clean my friends list. I'm always above 95 friends, who I actually play with. It bothers me that I can only have 100 out of 5,000,000 XBL subscribers on my friends list.

Attached are screenshots of:

1. My trophies (my latest friend requests)
2. Everyone that has "THX" in front of their gamertag

I recently noticed that I haven't been getting that many friend requests. As it turns out, I had no space left on my buddylist. So, I'm deleting "My trophies".

BTW: Oculus and I are working on an easy way to see all of the THX'ers gamertags, gamerscore, rep, etc. from this website. More later.

Wow, all those people want to be your friend because your name is EA?

Mintz, I'm not sure if he means that or if they're trophies because he pwned them.

Most of the requests are

Most of the requests are from people telling my how bad my servers suck or how I should stop charging for content. Occasionally, I get a request from an EA fanboi.

I don't know what they're talking about. The servers you gave H:P are awesome. =P
