Game over

Yes, I did it.  And I mean it when I say I.  After about a quarter of the way through Halo 3, something happened to obliterate the SAVE where my boyfriend and I had left off.  Actually, I think I changed it from Easy to Normal – or Heroic to Normal – or something..which erases SAVEs and forces you to start over.  But however it happened, it happened.  This pissed him off and caused him to only play it in very short periods, leaving the bulk of the gaming to me which I preferred anyways.  (Since the hospital scare, he’s not been himself; he’s forgiven for being moody.)

I beat the game Halo 3 on Normal difficulty.  GO TEAM ME!

This dude called Arbiter (I had to look it up ’cause I didn’t realize he even had a name) helped out some…  SOME.  Mostly he just got in my goddamn way and I actually killed him dozens of times, mostly on accident…  The human troops, well, they died ’cause their corpses gave me bullets ‘n shit.  Fuck those morons.  They ran over me a lot when I was on foot and they were in vehicles.  Also, when I wanted to shoot the turret, those idiots proved that they cannot drive for shit.  Sometimes they’d just rock the car back in forth…  Stupid fuckers deserved to die at my hand.
Arbiter was pretty cool, I guess.  For a retard.  After all, I got the idea of using the swords instead of guns by watching him.  I thanked him for that…then I cut his ass down ’cause he got in my way.

I didn’t really follow what the hell was going on as far as story, but it was loads of violent fun.  I think the point was to save Master Chief’s sexy cyber slut Cortana and GTFO.

Hey, Cortana, your pixels are showing!   …Fucking skank…
Seriously, why can you see her tits and ass?  What’s the point?  Is the violence not enough for the guy gamers that T&A has to be tossed into the mix?  She’s the voice of a damn computer, people!

Anyways, I blew shit up, ran around and got lost a whole lot, blew more shit up, hijacked some bitchin’ vehicles, blew even more shit up, saved the stupid blue bitch, and ran away as shit blew up on me.  The end.

The game, by the time I was at its end, seemed incredibly short.  (Maybe due to having played never-ending MMORPGs for so long.)
The final “scene” of getting the fuck outta Dodge made all the anger-inducing and aggravating moments worth it.  I literally tensed up at the final jump onto the ship…

My only issue is:  How did Master Chief and Arbiter wind up separated at the end?  The alien was on Earth with the Army while the Chief was being assumed dead…  I was doing a happy-dance during the cinematic sequence and lost a handful of seconds worth of information it seems.

Well, the game was great fun.  Probably would have been better if I hadn’t gone and played it through immediately after playing part 1 to completion.  I’m sure the story would have been neat had I played part 2 between them.  Whatever the case, I plan on playing Halo 2 now, Halo 3: ODST when it’s released, and am already considering Halo Wars for some RTS action (which I suck at).  I’m really liking the Halo series.  I’m really liking console gaming.

And yes, I did in fact do a happy dance.
