I Hate Voice Messages

I'm gonna go on record and say this about Xbox Live.

I hate voice messages.

Why?

Because you have to deliberately mute the game you're playing by going to the game's main menu, turning down the volume settings, or backing out to the 360 Dashboard.  Then you have to go through the laggy menu, click on the message, and turn up the volume really loud in order to hear all this mumbling that you usually can't understand.  Okay, so some people talk loud and clearly, but many don't.

All so that some little kid is recruiting people for his Black Ops clan.  Because I fully understand the appeal of playing in a lousy GameBattles clan with a bunch of random people I've never met in my entire life.

PRO TIP: Go to the Xbox.com website, log in with your e-mail & password, click on My Xbox->Messages, then type in messages there from your computer!  Or better yet, plug in a USB keyboard into the 360 and type messages with that!  But you can't listen to voice messages on your computer, wtf is up with that.

So die voice messages.  That, and Xbox Live avatars.  You are making the Playstation Network look that much more appealing.
