Al: Hello, my name is Al and I hate Gamespy
The crowd: "Hi Al"
I had a big row on IRC the day when NS 2.0 release by pertubed kids that felt violated because they had downloaded Gamespy Arcade with the NS 2.0 file.
Now Im not afraid to say that I think it sucks too - HALO that is <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Call me an old refusenik but damn, it doesnt reach half-life in it's soloaspect. Multi might be fun, but since when did the world seem to lack deathmatch kind of onlinegames for PC? Perhaps it will keep me amused as I await the release of the delay-threatened HL2!
..I was one of those kids.. Only I clawed at my desktop, trying to remove all traces of it, and was too busy to complain on IRC <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> [edit] I didn't install Gamespy Arcade when the prompt came up, but just the same, I had to "cleanse" my computer of the NS 2.0 Installer, and double check to make sure I didn't get adware from just installing my favorite game[/edit]
However, Gamespy articles aren't all bad. You just have to know what parts are true, and what parts "The Information Minister" decided to add in. It's like watching Fox News; sure you'll hear about new updates, just remember to think before believing anything said there.

The world is full of opinions. Your task is to process them and filter out the detritus from the few gold nuggets. It gets easier as you grow older.

Halo is incredible. I had such a blast beating the game Co-Op on my X-Box with my friend. We had a 7 hour run, then another 4 at a later date to finish it off.
A girl I was dating at the time actually called while we were playing. I didn't stop playing. No, we're not dating anymore. :-P (thats not then reason, but it sounds funny).
Halo is just a great great game. The Singleplayer isn't as diverse as it could be, the game mechanics make over for the breathtaking, though somewhat repetitive levels, COUGH Library COUGH The last level is INCREDIBLE. Especially Co-Op. Probably one of the best ever. Its just so cool. :-)
