    I'll preface this by saying that my wife & I have a habit of randomly complimenting each other for no particular reason. While we're making dinner in the kitchen she'll say to me "You have a handsome face." or during a commercial break I'll tell her that she has nice hair. I also have a schoolage step-daughter whom draws bizarre scenes and will then come up and describe & discuss them with you.
    That said.
    I was playing some Co-Op in SC:Conviction and while I had my headset on, neither me nor my partner where talking (I'm assuming they didn't have a mic hooked up). During the course of the game I discussed the following with my family:

    • How much did a penguin cost.
    • The people I was shooting where necessarily bad people but had made a series of unfortunate decisions that led them to this situation. Yes I could let them live but bullets were cheaper then lives. No they don't have families there paramilitary orphans who also don't have pets.
    • I preferred the purple puppy to the pink one.
    At one point my wife came over and handed me a glass of water to which I replied "I like you... Because you're cute". At that moment in game my partner and I were about to dual breach a door when suddenly they stopped moving. For a fully 5 seconds they remained still before suddenly the game dropped me back to the lobby.
    Why?
    I had my mic on the entire time. At least that's my guess.
    Lesson to be learned. Unless you're using it don't plug you're headset it and even be very LIBERAL in using the mute button. Ironically it's a pet peeve of mine when people carry one way conversations over XBL. Bugger.

    I'd kill to have someone talking about that sorta stuff in my multiplayer games.  I think I'd be more entertained by that chat than the game most of the time.

    Well I lol'd. You also do realise that you and your wife have exactly the same humour as a group of 17 year old boys?

    Actually #2 and #3 was with my step daughter. The penguin came from wanting to out exotic the exotic pet owner in our neighbourhood.
    Oh nice iguanna you have there... Oh this? This is our penguin and his pet emu. Yeah even our wildly-inappropriate-pet-for-an-urban-environment has a pet. Bitch.
