'AB HOC POSSUM VIDERE DOMUM TUUM'- I can see your house from here.
Aha, the above quote is fitting, for it is the great Halo games day. If you could call it that. Basically it consists of two 'boxes, two games of Halo, a 15m link cable, and a whole lot of LAN fun.

And it also means that finally, finally, you can sniper properly because the people on the other team can't hear your scope zooming, and hence won't look at your screen to see what's happening.

Yeah, that's right, you're going down.

lol

It's going to be awesome fun, because it means that there's going to be a whole lot more stealth involved. I mean, seriously, whoever has ever picked up the invisibility in Blood Gulch knows the frustration of when you're sneaking up on someone [going so slow you don't appear on the motion tracker] and they turn around and click a grenade to your head.

Gee, you didn't look on my screen to see where I was.

lol, ah well, it's easy to get your own back.

I mean, Cameron [friend I usually play with], has kicked up his pace when it comes to playing. I mean, it all started at the last little tourney we had when the squad of players, in unision, cried out 'shotguns Liam's team!'

Not surprisingly, Cameron was a bit upset about not being chosen first, and hence, he's been playing the game a whole lot in his spare time.

But we're still teh DrEaM TeAm.

When everyone initially arrives, they usually segregate into their own little pairs of friends and stuff. [Ben goes with Brock, etc]

After their voluntary segregation, Cameron and I are generally left, lol.

The next response, by all teams, is;

'Aww hell no. That is so unfair.'

But it's too late, they've already chosen, so fear the consequences.

Ehehe..X.x;;

So yeah, much getting into Warthog and crushing some skullz.

An interesting occurance is that at every game, Shaun either;

A: says 'this game sucks! I'm not playing anymore'

or B: 'How can the pistol have more range than the rifle?'

Upon which, the rest of us say, 'well, you see, the pistol has a scope it also has 12.7mm high explosive rounds that are fired in a semi-automatic fashion.
'Meanwhile, the rifle is fired in a fully automatic fashion and has only 7mm rounds, and fires in a masive spray. Meaning that even if the bullets had the range of the pistol, they would still land twenty meters to the left or right of their intended target.'

Mind you, the response has been tailored over the months, to the finished product you see now, which came off the top of my head. So I apologise if the rifle's calibre is not out to its correct decimal.

So yeah, hopefully we'll have at least six people. We definitely have four, which still means we'll have seperate screens and totally oWn, but hey, it's fun.

^_^

It might in fact be more fun that playing Blood Gulch with rockets only, and invisible players. lol.

EDIT: Check this out, you must, it's hilarious. [Unless the comment's been deleted..]
