Video: In pursuit of Midnight Club: Los Angeles

Even though my appropriate-o-meter is reading this conversation as borderline tasteless, I say very cautiously and with all due respect that I believe our friends at X3F do indeed get paid, although not quite full-time career type compensation...

But I don't know for sure, and this is definitely not a request or suggestion for clarification or transaparency. I just know I enjoy what these guys do everyday, paid or otherwise, and for what it's worth, I hope it does result in current or future earning potential.

No they usually do get paid, but AOL is making all bloggers cut down on blogging due to loss in profits or somethin. That's why they are blogging under the name X3F staff. That's the account they use when it is "off the clock" blogging, and when they blog in their usual account with their name it is "on the clock."

X3F, like Microsoft, doesn't comment on rumors or speculation. But yeah something shady is going on.

All the other ones did and the last one had lobby based freeroam so i'm guesing this one will have something like TDU

Thanks X3Fers for the free post... you make my work day more enjoable.
