The thing that I like most on LIVE that isnt on KAI is the matchmaking. Wouldnt it be possible to make a random game generator that uses the current playlists from Xbox Live? I'm not talking about one that implements it right in the game, but a random game generator that shows up on the GUI. the host then creates the game that it makes (if people want to, else they could pick again), and it gets played.

This would make it so that you dont end up playing the same damn thing over and over again on Kai, which is my big issue with the tunnels.

It's bits and bytes - yes everything is possible. But isn't is better that people can choose what game they'd like to play?

As the recent great XLink Kai support showed; There are no limits. So yes, if you can't decide what game to play it is possible to get Xbmc and Kai to analyse what games are currently played and fire up that one in random sequence.

Geolink will probably be the ultimate solution to that.

This has nothing to do with Geolink.

Sounds more like the new Xbc thing where you can fire up any game and it will find hosts by itself.

Geolink is a geograpichal system that's ment for lans etc.

Oh really? I thought it was geographical and game type!
(But I'm probs wrong as normal!)

Wops. Wrong button - struck delete instead of edit...

The closes thing must be the new Xbc thing where you can fire up any game and it will find hosts by itself.

But still I've never ever heard of any app that picks the game for you based on hosts.

Geolink is a geograpichal system that's ment for lans etc.

And yes, it is also game type but has nothing to do with nothing to do with a system that auto launch games - unless you know more about it than me.

Matchmaking would be an awesome addition to Kai.

I dont even mean actual matchmaking, just like a command button on the form that brings up a message box with a custom game suggestion

Just because its Geographical doesn't mean matchmaking wouldn't be added.
