You learn to tolerate it one way or another will all the additional messages overtime. Is inconvenient when you have a message come up during a moment like doing the Zone Zeus trophy.

The Syncopia room went for ages, still think it is going now. When DP left i hosted it for a while, then when i left AnE took over i think. Had quite a few enjoyable races of both the laggy and non laggy kind, i think my PS3 is going to chuck another YLOD on me again, its running horrible atm. Quite a few people come out of the blue when there is a Syncopia room being hosted. had Deepmix, DP, IH8YOU, BB, AnE, Cat, Dantrick, Anek, and T-Rex joined the room at the end there. Good when meetups like that happen, bit of a rouge avalon meet or something
