I just read the comic about Halo 3 and nearly crapped myself laughing. Thank you for giving Halo-verrated what it truly deserves.

Heh, heh. Glad you agree, man!
Seriously, its not that I'm against people playing Halo, or even enjoying it. The thing that bothers me is the way that so many people (especially the Media) build up Halo like it's the great game (and often the greatest gaming achievement) ever made. This saddens me, considering how many landmark, well designed, and enjoyable games are out there.
People can enjoy what they want, but the truth is that Halo is nothing more then a very polished, yet very mundane FPS. There have been others like it, and there will be other better then it. It just became a hit because of marketing hype, and the sad fact that at the time the first game came out, everyone owned an Xbox, but no one had any good games.

Agreed.
My school has so many Halo 3 fevered people, it's not even funny. Hell, even my friend (who calls herself "racist" against Playstation and Xbox...yes, I am 100% serious) said she watched the trailers and now she's all "OMG OMG!"
And when it came out a few days ago, she was all "What's so cool about it, why do people like it, blah blah blah."
When I called her a hypocrite yesterday, she had a spazz attack. Her arguements and rants are worse then Mr. Resetti. >.>

It's a good game, they just don't need to over advertise like they did. x-x

I never like Halo either. *shot by Halo fan* XO I don't like FPS games at all, really. And besides, my parents would be like: " OMG! YOU'RE PLAYING THAT VIOLENT MONSTROSITY!? YOU'RE GOING DOWN A WRONG PATH FOR YOUR LIFE WITH THAT GAME?! IT'LL KILL YOU FOR THAT!? PUT IT AWAY!?
>.> I sometimes feel like that they still treat me like a kid like these kinds of things. Despite the point they are making, it's only just a game (which is what Halo fans should treat it). <--- This sentence is wierd. Hope you don't miss my point. XD

I have no idea why Halo was advertised like it was. They make it seem like you have to buy the game or else you'll die or something. Now, if only they'd advertise Sonic games like that.

What's Halo even about? >_>;
The Halo fever in my school's been bothering me now and I don't even know what the damn game's about.
Also, my guess is it was advertised because, among Microsoft fans and first person shooter game fans, it was the real deal.
Then again, you'd also have to think of how Brawl's being put out. It's got its own site of daily updates, five days a week.
If I'm not making any sense, just ignore me. >.>

Halo is a First Person Shooting game where you play as some guy named "Master Chief" (how original) who's in this crazy armor and...yeah.
Brawl is the most anticipated Wii game I'd say. THere's gonna be like...0 copies once it's released on launch day.

Yeah, I must say, I'm addicted to the Brawl updates, as you've probably noticed. Heck, when Snake threatened to eat Yoshi, I started planning on how I'd prepare the plucky green dino if I got the chance....

Well first he'd probably eat Yoshi's large pointy dagger with his face, then he'd lie on the floor and bleed for a while.

My mine was just blown. Why the hell was I throwing Eggs in Yoshi's island, when I could have been stabbing Shyguys in the neck?!

Prolly because the dagger's data count was OVER 9000!! and it was too big to be in the game.
By the way: Is it me, or is Ike the most badass unlockable character so far?
