Written in under five minutes, while Halo 3 was paused
Well, the 360 is still running behind me and has been since about 5 o'clock. During that whole time, both my friend Jimerson and I have been online and a few other people came on a bit later and haven't left yet either. All, I presume, are madly playing through the campaign mode in one sitting. I'm going to go back and do that now.
But, since I'm here and you're also here, reading what I'm writing while I'm here, or when I was here by the time I post this and you read it, I'll point you in the direction of the Bungie website. The front page has some Halo 3 statistics for you to amuse yourself with.
You know I have that afternoon ritual of coming home and whatever chunk of the 106 webcomics I follow has updated almost immediately? All the tabs are still open. I haven't even read Garfield. Too busy with Halo 3. God, it feels good to get some serious gaming done.
Almost cancels out the headache I've still got and all the crap I'm getting about planning for universities and going to open days. Still, that's for another time. Now is Halo time.
Actually, one last thing. You know how when you're ill, people will tell you to just get into bed and have a good night's rest to make it all better? Well, lying down apparently exacerbates my headache and I spent several hours last night tossing and turning. Yet more evidence that common wisdom is often wrong and has many exceptions.
Crap. I still need to update Corbett's Fiction for tonight... well, I'll see how it goes. And, just as I'm running through this, spell-checking and formatting, I've realised that I didn't mention Halo 3 in the first paragraph, possibly making you wonder why the 360 was on and what campaign mode was running. It's Halo 3, just so you know.
Edited at 23:48: I just completed it. Awesome ending. Only thing wrong was that I pressed A to early and accidentally skipped the credits, and the inevitable little cutscene at the end. Unwilling to wait for a day or play through the last level again tonight, I just looked it up on Wikipedia. I figure I deserve a bit of rest now. Good night, all.
