Video games don't affect children

If PacMan had affected us as kids then we'd all be running around in dark rooms, gobbling up magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music......

...... Been to a rave lately?

I can remember the first time I picked up one of those football sized "L" xbox controllers and played Halo. I was at my friend's house where he told me he had this great new game in which you fought "wise cracking ewok things" and "zombies." Soon I did not want to go home ever again. We played our fingers to the bone. And while my friend and his brothers would always kick the crap out of us in multiplayer (favorite level is still Damnation btw), I never got sick of it.

Years passed, the older brothers went off to college as I am now. And I thought the other day, after taking another round of verbal abuse on Halo 3 over XBL, how much fun we used to have during those days when we'd play with the two xboxes at my friend's house (lucky dog had two with opposite facing TV's) and the even better 4 game LAN parties we had on rarer occasions. So I set to work tracking down everyone who used to play with us (thank you facebook) and some new friends. Sure enough, the response was quick and overwhelming. More friends want to come than we even might have room for.

The game is set for 4PM Saturday. And hoping to inspire this to be a yearly thing in which we can always have a little reunion. I set about making some "prizes" as someone had suggested I do. Take a look.

The trophies include the usual 1st, 2nd and 3rd places (all dated on the back for nostalgia's sake) and then there are special categories as follows

Team Killer

Dead Eye (sniper)

Patriot(most flag caps)

Wheel Man (best or perhaps craziest driver)

Hard Rocks(Rocket Launcher)

Noob of the Year(not quite decided how I'm going to give this one out yet

Well, thanks for reading. Please feel free to share your memories of the first and by my opinion greatest Halo game

Work Harder! Millions on welfare depend on you!

iTunes was on shuffle just now and some of the Halo: CE soundtrack started playing.

Man, I miss when this game was new.
