Have you or someone you know gotten banned from Xbox Live until the year 9999? Do you know why? One parent who’s kid got banned until said year didn’t know why and took it to the official Xbox forums.

The thread went like this:

Parent: Hi, Posted earlier about my son’s suspension and no help. Then i realised did not put his gamertag on the message. i am BlaaaacK v is his gamertag. Would be helpful is someone could enlighten me as to why he was suspended until 31/12/9999 without notification.

Microsoft: Your son was exposing himself on camera in Uno.

So folks, showing your junk on camera certainly isn’t going to help your rank. Hell, it’ll get you banned until the end of time. I only wish I knew how the conversation between this parent and their kid went down after reading this message.

I think it’s safe to say that almost everybody who’s reading this has played Uno at some point.  Personally, I grew up on Uno, and I think I learned just a bit of my numbers and colors before school even started by virtue of regular Uno games with my folks.

And for you fellow Uno fans out there, there’s a brand new Uno experience on Xbox Live Arcade, yours for a mere eight hundred Microsoft points–Uno Rush.

This time, in Uno Rush, you’re dealt a hand outright, and you can take the equivalent of several Uno turns all at once by virtue of matching up numbers, colors and symbols in advance to form a run.  You’ll have the standard command cards, too, like Draw Four, Wild, Draw Two, Skip and Reverse, but you’ll also get the new command card Shuffle, which causes an opponents well-planned hand to suddenly randomize, possibly causing the player to lose a run.

I liked this game, really–sure, playing by yourself isn’t a whole lot of fun, but as a party game or an online title this one will shine.  Look for a LOT of people to pick this one up, and for it to be a great social game.
