Here's a picture I took in campaign.  I photoshopped it to look cartoony, too.

Yup. My brother is coming over tonight and we will be playing some Halo 3, co-op style. Here are the 10 things I know to be true about tonight's (and tomorrow night's) festivities.

10. We will respawn many, many times whether we decide to play on Heroic or Legendary.
9. We will stop mid-play and say, "Ooooh, isn't that pretty!?"
8. We will fight over who is playing as Master Chief.
7. I will test the pistol out, screaming in the midst of a fire-fight, "Where's the f$*#ing scope?"

We had a soccer game this morning (I coach my daughter's team).  There are 9 girls on the team, and the team plays at the U-9 level.  After the first few minutes of the game I thought we were in trouble, as the other team had some pretty speedy girls.  We have a couple of speedy girls, also..

So I've been playing some Halo 2 online the past week or so. I quit a long time ago because, well, it just wasn't fun any more. I'm not sure if it was the Timmies or whether I was just burnt out on Halo in general. You see, I played TONS of Halo multiplayer on xbconnect before Halo 2 ever came out, and then Halo 2 came out and I played a lot of that. I never got into Halo 2 as much as I did the original. I never learned any of the little BXR type glitches in Halo 2 like I did with Halo... and hell, I've forgotten most of those now, too.

I found this at HighImpactHalo. There are some insane tricks in this video. This is from the original Halo, on the level Halo. Most of the tricks involve getting a warthog and/or the player up onto the top of the towers on that level.  It's about 30 minutes, but well worth the time.
