Quite a ways back, a friend of mine and I pulled an all nighter - my memories of the night in question have dimmed by this point which actually adds sort of a curious aura to it. More specifically, did we really wind up playing a demo of Porsche Unleashed for 6-7 hours?? How could it have been possible? And yet it's the only game I remember us playing that night. Of more specific in-game moments, my favorite memory would be back when I first watched my brother play through the beginning of Uneal; mainly in that it was actually pretty scary for me at the time given I was only about 12. I also have some good memories of playing hours of Tomb Raider 2 with my best friend on his parents' Mac.
That's actually how my brother wound up getting his 360 - he had a friend bring his over and just after he had set it up, he was getting out from back behind his giant HD set and caught one of the chords. It fell over on its side - my brother quickly joked, "well, man, it looks like I just bought your 360." They turned it on to get into some basketball, and shortly into the game it froze up. They started another and it froze even sooner into the action. Then it froze on the menu. Then it wouldn't even start. In any event, he bought his buddy a new 360 and sent the broken one back to microsoft for repairs, and now it's his. I generally try to keep my 360 vertical and trapped between other objects so it can't fall over.
