So, for the last month or so, I've been working my way through Halo's 1 and 2 in preparation for the release of Halo 3. One of the things I like about the Halo series is that it's not a "kill everything that moves" game - there's actually a plot. I wanted to catch up on the story line before I got moving. I remembered most of the plot of 1, but since I had a one-year-old around the house when Halo 2 came out I wasn't able to play it at full volume and missed some of the story. I still have small kids in the house, but I figured out a way to hook headphones up to my 360. When it came to replaying the games, I knew that I wasn't in a hurry to finish because I wasn't going to be able to get Halo 3 until Christmas anyway.
Well, Wednesday of last week, I received a copy of Halo 3 mailed to me in an unmarked envelope. A gift I do appreciate (in case the random gifter reads my blog - you can consider this post to also be my thank you note), but it gave me a bit more incentive to finish Halo 2.
Well, I finished Halo 2 last night. Then I got "sick". My wife said that the smells eminating from the bathroom and passing out around midnight were convincing enough to take a day off from work.
So, I got to play a while today. My favorite part so far is a little Easter Egg that I found wandering down a random hallway. Two characters with voices STRIKINGLY similar to Simmons and Caboose on Red vs Blue arguing over knowing the password necessary to open a door. I got myself clobbered just so that I could share the moment with Melissa.
Let me just assure all of you out there...there is just no faking what Roger ended up with last night. He was very ill...and the fainting really freaked me out.
ReplyDeleteI bet it did!
ReplyDeleteFeel better, Roger! No more scaring your wife, ok? And this is not a good time to teach the kids about "sharing."
I was just thinking about you actually. I found a web listing of the top 11 geeky t-shirts, and I was really disappointed. There was nothing anywhere near as cool as the shirt that says Dad in binary code or the version 1.0 and 2.0 shirts. Or even Meli's "I'm blogging this" shirt. The only one I was impressed with was the one that actually lights up when you're in range of a wireless network. Now THAT has to be cool!
