Well the Halo-fest last night was fun, even if people did arrive late. Will and I were duking it out for top place each game, followed by Kyle, then Greg. Assault is a great mode to play, as is the 3v1 snipers + assassination mode I made.
Highlights of the night:
Kyle's Master Chief having the name "Cupid" when he picked the wrong profile for a game.
My sniping Will (headshot) from ~15m behind him as he's asking Greg and Kyle where I am (2x).
My plasma pistol victory over a shotgun wielding Will (repeated on Kyle).
Greg and I repeatedly sneaking by Will and Kyle in Assault mode in "Longest" and scoring points.
My 30 second-long control over Will/Kyle's base in Assault while Greg carried the flag in twice.
After a good bit of Halo, we switched to Project Gotham Racing 2. I drove the Volvo XC90 twice and then the Enzo Ferrari once. Greg and Will had an epic battle on Nürburgring (Greg in a Viper or something of equivalent speed while Will was in an Enzo as well). Greg eventually beat Will to get second place (I was in first in my Enzo), and Kyle stumbled in ~2 minutes later in the Mini Cooper he was driving (I don't think he crashed at all, it's just that the Mini is that slow).
Last game of the night was Nightfire, where we were on a team against 6 xbox-controlled players. The format was Capture the Flag on the Skyrail level. Since it was really late (and we weren't really going for the flag that much) we decided to end the game at 3 points. I ended up with the most kills (25) and the most flag carries (2) due to my familiarity with the game and my ability to use the manual targetting system while on the move (and shoot accuratety while doing so).
So today was a pretty slow day. The only thing of note for today was that I spent an hour cycling on a stationary bike earlier (21.4 miles over the hill setting). I averaged a bit over 90 RPM for the hour (a sharp drop from the 115 RPM of two days ago over 10 minutes).
