How not to play Halo in public

Just came across this while looking up whats going on in the tech world, must admit found it very funny:

Man Brings Xbox 360 to Library to Play Halo - Tom's Guide

Gamers will go to unique lengths to play their games. While there are portables such as the Nintendo DSi and the Sony PSP, sometimes we just want to bring the big box with us, packing the console and cables to bring on us to summer vacation where we may end up. Others, however, take things to the next level.
A library patron and Flickr user spotted a man in a New York City library who spent 20 minutes setting up an Xbox 360, wireless bridge, monitor, controller and headphones in order to play Halo (and/or some other first person shooter) over the free Wi-Fi connection.
While bringing an Xbox 360 into the library to play games is frowned upon, what likely gave him away and eventually kicked out was that he was shouting into the headset to his teammates while playing online. Oops.

Guy Busted for Stealing WiFi at NYC Library — to Play Halo - Halo - Kotaku

In a public library, a dude sitting at a monitor with his hands in his lap, covered by a newspaper, implicitly means bad things. Fear not, he's only sneaked in an Xbox to steal the free WiFi and play Halo.
The tumbelog teendrama picked this up - the writer's pal spied the multiplayer shenanigans in the New York Public Library. The guy above brought in a monitor, Xbox, wireless router, what looks like a Turtle Beach Ear Force gaming headset (I have one), and an external hard drive. His controller is concealed by yesterday's New York Post.
"He proceeded to play Quake/Halo/Call of Duty," says the photographer, " some nerd fighter game while yelling out instructions to his 'teammates.'"
Small wonder then, that it "took him 20 minutes to set it all up. Took him 2 minutes to get kicked out."
Smooth
