Wrong on what? The Bioshock review was spot on. The recent Orange Box review is awesome and accurate. The others, while I haven't played them, seem to be accurate based on what I know of the games.

That one's awesome. Think I saw it on the Bungie's Favorites downloads. There's another hilarious one from High Ground that you need to watch. How's that vacation going?

Great so far... actually last night I was doing a lot of Halo with Bovine, Hilbilly, and... that guy's name who has weed in it or something. We totally owned 5/6 games. I'll probably be on later tonight too.

May not be on for a few nights. A friend just got Gears and I never did the co-op for that.

Something is seriously wrong when

1. My girlfriend and I are tussling over who gets to play the Xbox, and
2. My girlfriend wants to play Halo, and I want to play something else.

What kind of bizarro universe have I landed myself in?!

Friday night Halo scores w/ me, Tess, and Phaeton in Team Slayer

Game 1: 50-31
Game 2: 50-12
Game 3: 50-30
Game 4: 50-46
Game 5: 50-41
Game 6: 50-11
Game 7: 50-19
Game 8: 50-16


Never have I seen such blowout wins, let alone all in a row. For some reason we never gained any ranks after the second game.

Holy shit we were on fire... I didn't get to see them all put together. The only close game was #4... I guess we'll never know if we're just that good... or if everyone on Live last night was drunk out of their minds. I'm afraid some of that might be the case.. like the Shotty-Sniper game on Valhalla? They had a Major class 2 and they mostly stood still trying to snipe us.

I am pissed I only gained 2 ranks though... after blow out performances like that I should be 15, not 12.

Well, I can start on the Sunday the 16th in the evening and can go pretty much all day on the Monday the 17th. That's the start of my 2 week vacation but the weekend I've got the in-laws over. That good timing for you guys, Tess and Bovine?

While the only reason I can even make plans that week is because I'm not working. I very rarely leave before 6:00pm ever
