I need Game Room pals!

Dudes (and Ladies):
 
I am in serious need of some XBL friends who actually play on Game Room!  Everyone on my list seems to hate it, for some reason, and no amount of coercion or blackmail seems to be working to convince my real life friends either.  The Challenge system seems so cool, but less so when all your jerk ass friends don't want in on the action.
 
Anyone out there who is looking for another (admittedly mediocre) competitor, add me!  It's xJERKFACEx

Game Room full of cobwebs?

Anyone else playing games in XBLA's Game Room and finding that their friends list is completely devoid of anyone else who's given the service a try?   I've been putting some time in with it this week and finding that there is actually a lot of good stuff going on there, with the challenge system and free trials and all of that.  Having been slightly too young to get in on the arcade scene here in America during the 80's, Game Room seems like a pretty great way to experience these games.
 
But part of that draw to me is the challenge system and friend leaderboards.  That constant strive to beat out your friends' latest scores is something missing from a lot of modern games, and I think what Microsoft put together is a pretty slick interface for doing so.  So how can it be that of my 40 or so friends no one has picked up a single game?  I mean I couldn't even grab the achievement for playing a game in a friend's arcade because there was literally no one who bought one!  It kind of makes me nervous for the service, since if the games aren't selling well at all, it leaves Microsoft with little incentive to produce more content.
 
Then again, maybe people really just don't like Jungler that much.  I sure friggin' do!
 
So is anyone else having this problem?

I Have a Shmup Problem

So I'm recently finding myself with an unquenchable thirst for shmups.  Despite this, I'm fairly new to the genre and I'm looking for any feedback on some good ones I might be able to get my hands on.
 
I'll briefly list the ones I have at the moment:
 
Raiden Fighters Aces
Raiden IV
Ikaruga
War-Tech: Senko no Ronde (I know, I know.  It's weird and somewhat terrible, but MAN are those 'chievos easy to get!)
 
I have a 360 currently, and I'm not morally opposed to using emulators for anything older.  I also hear there are some good indie shmups built for PC, which I'm intrigued by.  So what do you guys think? I need my Bullet Hell fix!
