anyone who's played more than you has no life
anyone who's played less than you is a noob
In response to Jay; i hear you loud and clear.
I'll give you a little story. sure, most of you won't read it, but hey i'll write it anyway, because i know we've all done the same.
Halo:CE, a while ago now. Who'dve thought I hated the first time I played it? It went from
"it sucks"
to: "well, its not as good as goldeneye"
to: "reckon if we stack these VHS tapes and find a big piece of cardboard we can split the screen to play blood gulch snipers without looking at each others screens?"
I loved that game; and I gathered every possible scrap of information about Halo 2 I could. Anything. When I found out my local Gamestation was taking preorders; I was there. I preordered (to make sure) in Virgin, HMV and Game. I wanted the darn thing.
On November the 10th, I went into town at about 3 in the afternoon. I hung around the game shop reading magazines and that (pretty -blam!- now i think of it) Halo 2 "official guide". When the shop closed, I didn't go home, I stood outside, first in line for the midnight opening, just me and alex. we were like two kids on the way to disney land, checking our watches every five minutes. Nobody else even showed up til 10:30.
Ever since i've had the game, i've played it. Far more than I should've, probably. If it hadn't been for warcraft, i'd have played it a lot more too. Adding up the 8 or so accounts i've had over the past two years, i probably have about 450 pages worth of games to report. Jay, I understand how you feel about the beta, and how it pains you to see little brown nosing forum cops infesting these forums. there's no doubt in my mind they'll be the lucky "chosen" that play long before the rest of us fans. Just because I love bungie and their games, doesn't mean I'll become a sychophant to get what i want.
I don't want to jump through hoops to be part of something that is already part of me.
with regards to Shai; if you feel like it's your time to leave, then its your time to leave. All things run their course, just don't feel like you can't hang around because you've acted in a way most don't. Some call that character, you know :)
