Halo Party

I'd always heard of these famed "Halo" parties but thought, "Halo, bah." I'm not very good at most FPS (First Person Shooter) video games, and playing Halo 2 with my college buddies has proved no exception. However, when I knocked off work tonight, I eagerly went with my brother and some friends to a Halo 2 party at someone's house...

Amazing! Brilliant set up. 5 TV's, all connected by a maze of cords throughout the whole house...and even one set of cords leading into the backyard, where several players sat huddled around a television set in an outdoor tent!! We had about 12 people playing the same round at once...along with pizza, cokes, and other party food. A couple guys had plug-in microphones, so you could hear some of the outbursts that come along with killing and being killed. I must say not only was the whole thing just enamoring, I honestly did pretty well tonight. I'm only decent with sniper rifles and energy swords. Anyway, it's an experience I'd love to have again, sometime.
