I play Halo.

So, as my first blog, I would like it to be in territory in which I am (still somewhat un) familiar with.

Anyway, don't you find it unusual when someone is talking about something perverted or quite frankly out of the ordinary over the mike in matchmaking? For instance, I was playing a game of squad battle team slayer on Rat's Nest when suddenly this pair on my team were taking about showing their unmentionables to their roommates while playing Halo 3. It's just really, well, creepy, to tell you the truth. Aside from Cortana, there's really nothing remotely perverted about Halo 3 (and for those who do like Cortana that way… well, consider a therapist). It's just a random act by some wannabe men or something. And we ended up losing anyway.

I've learned to appreciate the complexity (and simplicity) of the spartan laser, which takes a bit of skill and aiming to use effectively (and, when I got the game an eternity ago, you could say that non-moving targets were the only thing I could hit with it). With the sniper rifle, I've been improving with it, but I used to stay away from the laser as best as I could. But then came Valhalla Heavy. Another squad battle game (team slayer again, sheesh, people really hate CTF and the other objective game types), the bases each spawned a wraith, a scorpion tank, and a laser and sniper to boot. Me, being a rather cowardly fella who understands the fact that the word "frontal" is often associated with the word "suicidal" in a heavy game. So, I took the laser (and rifle, and maybe the plasma pistol to wreak havoc on vehicles) and got the hang of lasering enemies foolish enough to stand on the center hill area. And besides, if I wasn't shooting at them, they were lasering back. And so, I mastered (to a basic extent) how to use the spartan laser as a weapon efficiently (that is, at least a few kills).

Well, it's been a while since I poured my heart out on this site's inhabitants.
