What are you doing Scott....
Trying to find you chris....
I can't let you do that Scott.... Good bye!

It occurred to me today wile I was in the back yard that I am personally responsible for enlightenment of not one but nine individuals that I know of. Nine people are now severe Halo junkies thanks to my constant coaxing and mental battery. So there I was gloating to myself over my conquests when I realized that there was much more work still to be done. How many thousands, no millions of people who have yet to see the light. Who knows how many people out there have not even heard of Halo? It’s a frightening thought. But don’t worry your pretty little heads children, the Seventh Column will continue to grow and strengthen. If there is even one person out there willing to badger and harass their friends not only into buying Halo 3, but the Xbox 360 to play it on and the gold membership to Xbox live, and the extra controllers so their friends can play, the cycle will continue till the end of days. That my fiends is how the Seventh column will assume control of the world itself. Bungie’s world domination will be complete.

Here are the souls who have joined me in our cause so far:

Nicole “O atropos O”- My poor wife didn’t stand a chance really. She rolled her eyes when I brought home Halo CE, and now she is a shotty wielding nightmare.

Scott “DZJUGaNUTZ 2pt0” - The tenants of his former apartment complain of laughter, taunting, shouts of vengeance, and mockery echoing through the halls in the wee hours of the morning. Could it be ghosts or is it the remnants of the countless battles fought on coagulation and assention that haunt that place…

Cameron “Camchanic4” - He fell the same summer that as Scott. All alone in that little apartment and vast amounts of time to fill, he soon turned to Halo 2 for comfort and support. He got all of you instead. You should be ashamed.

Will “Dwinkle27” - Introduced to Halo 2 on tombstone with a 25 to 0 massacre I assumed that he would turn and cry in the corner. Instead I found him clutching the controller with a childlike grin spanning his face. He got his own 360 a week later.

Darleen “O Lachesis O - Learned the joys of melee after watching her husband get assassinated by me over and over and over…

Dave “JarHeadMXS” - Poor little Dave. Stuck living in the dorms with no life to speak of. He came to the house of Halo one night looking to relax and get a home cooked meal. What he got was a brand new addiction. His Live account set up permanent residence on my console.

Corey “Anubis 0412” - Strangely one of my best friends in all the world is one of the latest to give into his legendary desires. He completed Halo 2’s campaign with me shortly after it’s release. Since then he’s been playing C.E. on his computer. Until now…

Kara “MistressMojo” - First logged on as a guest and spent the game laughing so hard we could still hear her. The day after she got Halo 3 she spent 13 hours strait in matchmaking. Good girl.

Alton “To Be Determined” - Alton has been bombarded by an onslaught of snapshots of my game play, as well as an almost daily phone call filled with ridicule and mockery at his inability to join the ranks of Bungie members. He is at this very moment begging on his hands and knees for his new bride to allow him to get a 360. She’ll crack soon…

Who will be next?

If you’ve got a funny story about someone you’ve brought to the path feel free to share.

ha. always good to read tales of those converted to our side. You saved nearly a dozen innocent people from their possible fate on Bungie's giant slingshot. good man.

My dad. he played the demo of H2 at Gamstop, and declared he'd never touch it again.
he's one of my main doubles partners now. :P

Ive tried and tried to get my friends into Halo but with no luck. I blame it all on a doom or quake, cant really recall which, incident back in the 90´s. They were owned so bad that theyve refused to play games with me since.

What surprised me though was that I managed to convert my cousin. He was a huge CS fan but after I had given him my old xbox and halo 2 he never looked back. He later went on to buying a 360 and H3 and talked a bunch of his friends into doing the same.

I must say that I really needed some people I know IRL to start playing Halo. Its fun to play with people from the FL but getting together with some guys and just tear it up is priceless.

That's plainly because Bungie is a (majorly more advanced and supeb) synonym of Big Smiley Smiles...

And Smiles are contagious....so...go figure.
