Alright, the following story may seem a little off topic at first, but read the whole thing and you will see that it pertains to terms only used in Halo 2. The following is also a 100% true story from last night.
Alright, so my friends and I went to see Spiderman 3 yesterday and the theater was packed for obvious reasons. We chose my favorite theater and arrived early to get amazing seats, so all would appear to have gone well right? Well NO, there were 3 or 4 boys, (probably between 10-14, the kind that randomly scream into their mics or just keep blabbing on in their girlish non-pubescent voices in the middle of a great game) sitting behind us. They talked the whole time, even after one of my friends turned to ask them to stop. This was annoying enough, but at some point during the movie, a character gets knocked down and the kids start yelling variations of "oh pwnt!!!" Pwnt quickly turned to "headshot" and "running riot" and those escalated into "ohhh bxr!" and "no no no, bxb!!!" with each kid playing off of the other's exclamation. That is no exaggeration, the kids said each of those terms, and I was pretty much ready to stand up and start swinging at them. So not only did they talk during a long-awaited movie, but they desecrated Halo 2 terms (not saying pwnt is a Halo 2 term) and glorified the stupid glitches/exploitations. I wonder about how parents could have brought up such kids, but then I laugh to myself thinking how said kids were probably still in kindergarten when Halo: CE came out.
With that story in mind, I now pose this question to you: Have you ever encountered such angering real-life situations that have something to do with Halo 2 or gaming in general? If so, post about them here.
