I was searching for info on the Limited Edition Halo 4 X-Box 360 Console Bundle when I ran across this article: Comic Con 2012: Halo 4 Hands-On Preview

The event had plenty of demo stations set up, many spotlighting the new 4-player co-op missions. Together with two colleagues we delved into it, first witnessing a short trailer which explained how ( Read more... )

OK, I must get something off my chest.

You are so awesomely awesome...I can't even begin to formulate words.

But, I'll try.

You're response is so fantastic. I can feel the burn from here, dude. The thing is, you weren't profane or rude. You were like, "Dude, have a seat at the desk, because I'm about to school you."

You totally rock. Like forever.

Heh heh Thanks. I try!

I didn't want to be a ranting jerk, but something needed to be said. I like how I told him to try SWAT: a game type that lacks those apprently pesky shields and nades...and is all about those oh-so-difficult headshots he couldn't seem to get. LOL I kill with headshots. Of my 30,000 amassed Reach multiplayer kills, something like 16500 of them are headshots. I have absolutely no sympathy for this guy's struggles. Mwahaha!

Have you ever noticed that girls seem to handle fandom in much more positive ways? I mean, I suppose that's not really true at all, but my standard assumption of someone who describes himself as a fanboy brings to mind Apple and BF3/COD webpages of profanity-laced ridiculousness and the irrational hatred of anything but. With girls, I think of our wing of fandom...followed closely by the midnight release of a Twilight novel. (I was there for my little sister!) Ahh, fandom. Must there always be people who take it too far?

I think guys tend to be really, really protective of their fandom of choice. Mike gets a lot of flak on XBL when he plays MW3 because his clan tag is UNSC--you know, a lot of "go back to playing Halo", etc. (Personally, I think he just uses it to tick off the fanboys. ROFL)

But, you know, I guess it's in mainstream culture to with dudes. You can only like one team per sport. You can only play one series of FPS. Or something.

And, yes, we do more productive, positive things...like write fic, produce fanart, etc. (Yeah, yeah, I know some dudes are in that group, but they are greatly outnumbered. :P)
