My favorite thing about Halo:PC. Adjust mouse sensitivity up to 7. Save. Resume Game. Move mouse. ****!. Go back to settings... change setting back to 7...

The fact that you eventually need to throw it away is evidence of that.
2) PCs are and always will be vastly superior to consoles. My favorite is when some kid was pointing out how 'awesome' it will be when the X Box is online... and I'm like: Yo, I already have broadband for my PC, meanwhile you're going to pay EXTRA for a small selection of games to play?
3) Console games are nothing but rehashes now. MGS *3*. Halo *2*. Xenosaga *2* (Barf, the characters in the first one were so freaking stupid looking. Honestly, what's the point of anime in a game? The idea behind the big eyes is to exaggerate expression. What's the f**king point in a game?). etc. etc. the list goes on and on. I swear they only made like 12 original titles and all you get now are sequels because they're totally out of ideas. <!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd--> hahaha.
