Kinda seemed like a mongo advertisement to me, but it was also quite amusing. I'm seriously going to keep those excuses in mind.

Okay I need to learn how to make myself vomit without actually being sick. I know it's disgusting but it's for Halo 2. I read all the excuses and none of them will work unless I vomit or pass out or something in the middle of class. So does anyone here know how I can make myself vomit? I know some people can really do that.

I got a 5.1 surround sound system for less than $100, and it is almost as good as my Bose speakers. I do love Wal Mart.

doc's appointment - OBVIOUS but what are they gonna do about it if your parents call them?
illness - duh
if you want to yank they're chain tell them that its a religious holiday for you
whatever you do don't say anything about your car. that sugar excuse won't work at my school. they provide transportation so you don't NEED a car

Man, those things are expensive!

Does anybody know if you can coonect an xbox to live with a wireless connection?
I saw on that list that xbox live was compatible with DLink. Does that, if it works with wireless connection, mean that the DLink Air Plus we have at home works?

- Nov. 9th confirmed: just gives me more time to practice on Halo because I'm so bad (bad meaning bad, not bad meaning good).

- Excuse: My dog ate me

- Vote: George W. Bush . . . don't mess with Texas

- Divorce / Breakup: No way . . . my wife supports me playing Halo . . . GASP . . . now if only I could get her and my 3 month old son to pick up controllers.

- Friends: Yea I got those (BOTtes, BOThalamue, BOTox, . . . )

- Live: Check . . . I just breathed on a mirror to make sure.

- Route It: Check . . . the humor escapes me

- Gamertag: . . . "Watts" uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup

- Headset: Check . . . I'll be the one you hear screaming like a little girl as I spin around with my shotty pointing up at the sun.

- Snax: Oh stop it . . . you all know you won't stop to eat a thing. Just get one of those cool cammel packs and fill it with Gatoraid . . . just please no belching before you pistol (wink wink) whip me.

- System: You guys are going to hate me for this. Sony VPL-W400Q front projector - projecting on to a 95" diagnol screen. I have the component setup for my box. Denon receiver with Paradigm surround system. This system will shake the fillings right out of your teath. That's right boys . . . think twice about skippin' school. Hit those books, so you can prepare yourselves to get a good job, and then like a good capitalist, spend that money on eye and ear candy.

I'M READY!!!!

Thanks Watts, good post, sweet set up. Luckily for me, my parents have done all the work for me. My basement's set up...

57 inch diagonal widescreen with up to 1080i resolution

Dolby Digital 5.1 with mounted speakers and a HUGE subwoofer

High Def Cables attached to a four way Harmon/Kardon receiver

A fireplace that can be turned on with a light switch

Mini-fridge 3 steps away from the couch

Yeah, I think I'm in good shape.


This story/article/whatever is half a regurgitation of an earlier one about the best set ups for your Xbox

One problem... I've bought I think 4 Xb LIVE headsets.. and they are all broken. ALL of them! The stupid things break absurdly easy. So I might buy ANOTHER one of those. I also need to figure out which damn credit card I used to pay for LIVE so I can get that bnet connection, which will be probably the best thing about Halo 2. I'm worried about having to have 8 different TVs for system link- I know Frankie isn't reading these mostly moronic posts anymore, but please clarify! What is it going to be? Only one person to a screen or will we still be able to have that classic 4-man split. Its not like it would make a difference in me buying the game- I'm buying 5 copies even if the game is changed from being a FPS to a strategy game in which you try to make peace with the Covenant council through means of quiet discussion. Ha.

This has been Posted 94 days till Halo 2. I have been counting down since the official date has been laid out. One major feature that was meantioned in this article that i am most excited about and one that has been questioned a great deal is the audio in Halo 2. With being able to hear every enemys moves and being able to track enemys is near perfection. A way to save alot of money is just to buy a used Xbox Audio sytem. I recommend game Crazy if you have one near you. They usually have the best deals on all used items. These new audio advances are going to be a great way to find those who think they can play ninja and jump from behind corners with a covi sword (the altimate anti son of a -blam!- stick) Another thing I am very excited about that was in this article is Co-op. The reason I thought their might not be a co-op was because Bungie didnt show any co-op, but that was ignorant of me to think their wouldnt be a co-op.

After Pre-ordering Halo 2 and Xbox live wireless I'm Penniless. Why do I need to buy $400 sound systems? The video and audio work well enough on my TV. Sure I bought my TV at Wal-mart for only $100 but it works good enough for me. Cmon Bungie how much money do you want me to spend on 3rd party speakers? I'm not rich you know.
