"Halo!"

They say if you try a drug once, you might get away with it. Twice, you get in trouble; thrice, you're hooked. I've never tried narcotics; my drug of choice is caffeine and I have a little video game problem called Halo. I've run the gamut of other games and the addiction took too long to settle in. But once was enough for me with this game; the second manifestation of Halo came along and I can't seem to shake the habit. I'll be gone for a season, play a few other games and continually find myself coming back to the same drug of choice. Now Bungie is playing the role of my digital pimp by releasing the third version of Halo. This is a problem as I am finding less and less time in my life to play games. But come on, we can all use a fix right? With a baby on the way and the extra hours awake what better way to spend it than on my habit? We'll see. Halo brings the best and the worst out of people. The best if you're ranked higher than someone, the worst if you are ranked lower than someone. And then there's the occasional little fragger who pops in and goes Anakin Skywalker on your ass; the next generation will have controls ingrown under the skin in their hands. That's the truth. We hate to admit it but it's true. And it gets ugly at times; somebody (I won't say who - who doesn't have a mic - whoever that is) will take the time to type out angry little messages to people who've owned him. Maybe it's time to shake the habit... but not after another season of the third installment.
