Well this might be goodbye for now

Just got out my laptop to trudge my favorite websites, and I wandered on over to Joystiq. Abd whaddya know? Latest blog; Halo 3 ending leaked!! So now I'm panicked because its a mere week to the game comes out, but a week and a half till I get to jump into the single player campaign. So this just might be my last foray onto the internets just to save myself. Maybe I'll set 2old2play as my homepage and only go there for my news and such...is anyone else being tormented like this?

Halo 2 updaticity

Well, a temporary setback this weekend; I drank too much saturday and didn't have the ability to play any saturday, but I rebounded by finishing a couple of levels today-Arbiter and Oracle. These are two of my lesser favorite levels in the halo universe for 2 reasons. 1-Not playing as Master Chief...I know that its part of the story and part of the magic that is halo 2, but I paid $50 to play as the chief and I wanna play as the chief. Reason 2-Flood. I effin hate the flood.

Now one of my favorite things...battles that are just too difficult to get through, you can usually just run past. Admittidly, I try not to do that, I wanna fight the fight and all that crap but sometimes when I'm just getting pummeled, its a helluva lot easier just to turn on active camo and jump past the fights and on to the next room/checkpoint. Anyone else?

Ughhh

"Hop in the City" beer festival put on by Schlaflys brewery was yesterday. While I don't feel too bad now (notice I'm up blogging at 7 am my time) last night was a different story. The frustrating part...I didn't really drink too much, in fact, stopping about an hour or so before everybody else, but I ended up getting pretty sick once I was home, about 3 1/2 hours later.

So my whole evening was ruined, of which I had planned to do a level of halo 2, but now its pushed back to today which I don't have a lot of time for. So we'll see how this works out.

Halo 3 delayed!!!!!

Well not really, its still coming out on the 25th. But as for me, it might as well be delayed. I'm pissed, I'm pissed, and I'm pissed. Me and 2 other buds have Halo traditions dating back to the Pillar of Autumn so we were all pretty pumped up for Halo 3. It comes out on a tuesday but due to professional and personal commitments, we all decided to wait till friday evening and play straight through. Boo-yah!

Now for the aggravating part, one of my guys, lets call him Murphy, cannot come. Why? because his dad booked a condo for the weekend at the Lake of the Ozarks. First and foremost, family comes before halo 3, so I get it, but it still frustrates me. So now consensus is, we wait until the weekend after...which is in october. So now I have to wait 11 days to play the campaign instead of 4. How the heck am I supposed to avoid spoilers??!

So for now, I'm planning on playing with Forge, multiplayer (only with people who understand NOT to spoil the campaign for me) Yeah this is gonna work....

Halo 2 update

Today's date is September 13th, twelve days until Halo 3 launches. My plan has been to make september "Halo month" and go back and play halo and halo 2. Last Saturday, I finished Halo and this week I have promptly dug into Halo 2. The differences between the 2 games are remarkable, really. The addition of "dual-weilding" changes the game completely. But I am quickly finding out that running with 2 guns is not always the best option...

On with the update...I'm approximately half-way through "Metropolis." I really haven't had too much trouble so far (Not nearly as bad as the first level) but still have half to go so...according to my calculations, I should finish Halo 2 on the 24th. Perfect.
