"It's good to have your dander up but discipline wins the day."

I was 13 and it was like 11 or 12 at night. I freaked out. That is until I got my hands on that beautiful shotgun. :)

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Response: holy f.c.u.r.k. I jumped ten feet - flat-footed - to the xbox, turned it off, unplugged it, hid it in my closet, and was thankful i didn't get a heart attack, at 4 years old.

Now i can kill them any day of the week without fear.

"Send me out... with a bang." - Sergeant Johnson's last words.

"I'm ready! How about you?" - Emiles last words.

A 6 year old playing at 12 AM at night... I loved it, I thought they were so beast, and just wonderful, well that was a LONG time ago around when it first came out, now I really just consider them an enemy.

Have you ever seen a ten year-old be ambushed by mutoid zombies in a ghost-town facility at twelve p.m.?


I screamed, jumped to the xbox and turned it off. I didn't play Halo until the following Christmas.


yeah noon is a horrible time to be up playing video games

  • 03.16.2011 11:20 PM PDT

I was like 9 man. I freaked

  • 03.17.2011 1:33 PM PDT

I'm 23, I have a house, dog, girlfriend, job and I have no interest in any fanboyism so if you're thinking about sending me a childish PM, don't be surprised when I don't call back.

I was freaked out. The noise they make is creepy. I don't like fighting them alone.

  • 03.17.2011 8:55 PM PDT

It kinda reminded me of a zombie attack.

Yeah.

The Flood in the game "Halo", or the forum: "The Flood." In both I pissed my pants.

I was 6-7 and even though i knew the infection forms were effectively harmless after one popped i still kept on killing them, even today. Thats how good bungie is. Made an enemy so freaky even if they are harmless everyone is -blam!- their pants trying to kill them. The freakiest thing however is when you have your shield down and an infection form jumps on you!! Ahhhh!!! The noise and the thing crawling on you (sounds like a giant mosquito) was too FREAKY!!! AHHH!

I thought my armour would protect myself from the popcorn flood infection forms. I soon learned differently when I tried walking through a group.

The first time I played through this game my buddy Brian and I did it on Legedary (yeah, we died alot). We watched all the cinemas and they kinda pissed me off because I was just starting to really get the hang off whacking covies and now I gotta fight alien space zombies who wanna -blam!- my women?? Was SO NOT SET UP for that fight. I ended up sticking my buddy who was standing beside the door you use to exit the room. Now HE had a "WTF????" moment for sure. And the elevator that you THINK you are going to exit the building with but actually plummets to the bottom of the shaft REALLY pissed me off. And we wandered around for two hours with no ammo..Grrrr. I guess I didn't wig out because if you really pay attention when you first start up the tree to the bunker (when the covies run out because the marines are shooting at them)if you look at the hill you can see the outline of a flood combat form standing near the shade. I noticed that so I guess it kinda primed me for the encounter.

Yup I complained the whole first level "Dude this is a rip off of Alien/Aliens. See here is a poster about the cat Jones." And I did say "game over, man, game over" in the libary (that was Freakin hard on legendary)

I haven't seen him post in forever.

I'm gonna lose to a lurker.

I was a like 11 or 12 so I was scared out my mind at first lolol. But it turns out the Flood is what helped me beat my fear of zombies :D

  • 03.29.2011 12:39 AM PDT

Be kind to others; you'll feel better.

It dawned on me, right with the "Flood" subtitle, that everyone died in the very same room I now occupied. And I ran around for a way out, while searching for Marine corpses. Obviously I didn't find any; I found the Flood.
