I hear that Halo 2 is really awesome.
You are correct sir.
For those of you out there who like D&D I recomend "the Temple of elemental evil" just make shure you get the latest patch. I think it sort of slipped under the radar due to it's initail buggyness but I think it's a great game.
But I have to admit noting fills me with more geeky nostagia than a good game of "Joust."
Ahh, Joust... Mmm, Joust. It makes me happy just saying it... Joust Joust Joust. "Beware the 'unbeatable' Teradactil." Oh beleve me I'll beware!

Yeah I rember that game
some insanely funny/frustrating game where you controlled a paper plane through a house.
Oh man! That game was like heroin! I think it was called "glider" or air glider I had a later, color version, of it for Mac where you could get rubber bands and batteries.
Oh jesus, I can still here the music that made you all nervous to get to the next room.

Fable
Oh, You can change alignments just by donating at the temples! Man i had to wipe out an entire village of civilians just to get some freakin horns!
By the way, speaking of vidio game alignmnets, does anyone here feel guilty if they do something bad in a vidio game?
I am always wracked with guilt whenever I so much as use the "treaten option" (if a game has one) on a shopkeep.

You make it sound so hollow
You're going to level up about 50-60 times, each time gaining an incremental boost in power as well as the occasional new ability on the skill tree; you're going to collect incrementally better weapons and armor.
God, you make it sound so hollow. So fuitless... Wait there are Fuits! there is that slightly better armor and sheild I can get if I can just figure out how to stop the farmers sheep form dying. Ohh ohh and there is that slightly larger knapsack. Ah, and if I just get a few more XP I will be able to cast HURTMORE... wait why is it all bright outside all of a sudden?

Perhaps we shoud play.
Anyone want to try and set up some Starcraft online games? or other online games? My CD's are still back in Boston but next time I'm there I'll pick them up.
We could even be our own clan!
(Although I remember I would always lose against everyone in online RTS games)

"Awesome"
Wow what a kickass story! My only Beef with this article:
Not that I should've taken offence, really.
HELL yes he should have taken offence!
But realy it's a great story. When I play Halo 2 I sometimes feel like I am the only non-Homophobic person online, It's good when you can find other honorable gamers.

Halo 2 ending
I figured I would be totally disappointed with Halo 2 since it was so hyped. I am into the second chapter and it is awesome so far. The enemies are really smart and there have already been several jaw dropping surprises..even in the middle of a pitched battle ( note to self, letting jaw drop in pitched battle = having to reload after my death sequence ) .
Have you beaten it yet? I did a few days ago. But I don't want to spoil anthing. So stop reading now if you don't want to hear how it ends.
Okay I'm serious.... I'm gonna give it away.
Frankly, I was dissapointed with the final fight with Tartatus. Maybe it was becase I was playing spilt screen so my partner could respawn me everytime I died but it just seemed anticlymactic and very "TUne in next week."

Halo 2 difficulty
yeah I heard they cranked the AI and the difficulty becase the first was a bit too easy for some. I've also heard that there is a BIG jump between heroic and legendary in terms of difficulty.
One other thing that realy bothered me in both games. The dialog was always too quiet. Has anyone else noticed this?
I'm not talking about the cut scenes I'm talking about the little peices of info cortana gives you in the middle of a level. She's always speaking in a quiet little mumbley voice while there is loud raging gunfire ticks me off. SPEAK UP.
Other than that 2 great games

Great way to avoid being "jacked"
I've found a great way to keep from being "jacked" in multi player games.
When it seems like you are about to be boarded just hit X to jump out of your vehicle. Ususaly the other player will think they have knocked you out and will try to drive off. quickly hit X again to jump BACK onto your vehicle and "re-Jack" them. works like a charm and seems to confuse the heck out of the players since there is so much perspecive switchin it's hard to tell whats going on.
Alternately you can open fire as soon as you jump off, ususaly you will be able to get a kill before they can drive away.
