A Halo of a Good Time
As we mentioned in this week’s news update, SOLMI headed over to the house of our good friend Jermaine to play a little Halo 3. Believe it or not, Jermaine actually stayed up all night and “finished the fight” before most people even got home from work. That either says something about his ability to commit, or is a cry for help to be saved from his world of polygons and pixels.
Except I think he REALLY likes it there.
I suppose he’s alright though. A little tired perhaps, but he was still able to wipe us off the map with the kind of precision and efficiency you wish you could find in our military. And Jermaine’s not just about finishing the story either. This is a guy that will break open every crate, look behind every rock, and collect every floating orb to unlock every last achievement available. To be fair, I suppose the troops in Iraq probably did a pretty good job looking for all those WMD’s. But to complete the analogy, it would be akin to going out on release night, picking up Halo 3, getting home and finding that instead of a game disc inside you just bought somebody else’s diarrhea. Sucks to be you.
Regardless, Jermaine’s marathon Halo fest (which began Tuesday and ends Thursday) will be halted by the siren song of work, beckoning him from downtown Orlando. Yes, the sweet security of a steady paycheck at the expense of his soul and free time will undoubtedly have its way with him upon his return. But hey, MixelPix isn’t all that bad. I mean sure, it’s purple. And it has that nauseating green accent color, yeah. But it’s got promise. I mean eventually you might even get to see all of your friends’ pictures in one place! Just think of it! Basic features! YAY!
Hopefully we’ll see that implemented before Twitter releases their version later this year. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see, won’t we?
Anyway, a special thanks to Jermaine for having us over to play his new game. We had a great time, and it would be terrific to do it again sometime. Until then I’m going to have dreams about swinging giant, bladed hammers into Brian.
I think I’m beginning to see why Jermaine loves games so much.
Goodnight, all.

Nice post. I lol-ed at the thought of buying someone else’s diarrhea. In fact I’m still laughing, even though I’m in class and shouldn’t be. I noticed you didn’t mention the exhausted Meagan on the couch through this night of Halo indulgence.

Ah, good point. Can I add a notation from a comment?
*Also, a very special thanks to Meagan for not completely freaking out that she had to be at school in the morning, yet we played until about 2am. Thanks, lady.

Love the post!! There will be more Halo to be had. Next time I’ll provide refreshments and maybe a DS so the young lady won’t want to pull her hair out while we BanHammer each other in the face for hours on end.
