Introducing The Armchair Commandos

A couple of weeks ago I ran across th3 midnighters thread regading an unoffical spring Halo 2 league and considered joining it.  Id been away from Halo playing a good bit of GRAW & Burnout: Revenge (the only game the wife plays, mind you) on the 360 & thought I should return to the roots.  When Fetal expressed an interest as well I thought itd be a good time to join up with an old running mate & get back to it.  Not surprisingly, our goals were pretty similar:

1. Use the league as a means to start playing some Halo again
2. Play with quality people that will be fun to talk shit with
3. Dont take it too seriously

We rounded it out the team with long time online buddies & 2old2play clan members Kung Fu, Bluestar, Phreaks, & Taxi.  For some reason I got roped into being the team captain & after a long time deliberating if the team name should be Phreak s Bitches, I settled on Armchair Commandos.

For the small minority of people reading the blog, Ill keep it updated on our progress through the season.  Theres a lot of really good people on other teams and as I mentioned were not actually spending time practicing any strategies.  In short,  we re not expecting to win this thing.  However, we re not exactly anyones waterboys (& girl) either.  There are certainly players that are better than us but I feel like we can at least hang with just about anyone.....Should be interesting....

Also a shoutout to th3 midnighter for putting this whole thing together. I ve played with him a few times & he s a cool guy & it must take a lot of work to make the season happen.  Hell, hes actually keeping & tracking team & individual statistics, thats just crazy
