If you keep intentionally shooting your friends in paintball you get your ass kicked (I'd assume at least) but not so in video games.... too bad.

@shaunmcilroy: You should have seen twitter yesterday. I was in awe of the swiftness with which people crushed my dreams. Until I found out working at Best Buy got me in anyway. :)

@Stayksauce: buhdum tssss

@kobeashi: THANK YOU!

Unfortunately a friend was borrowing my Halo 2 disc at the time but if I were doing this I would keep playing until the Reach Beta at least. It would be sweet (and impossible) if these hardcore Halo 2 players made it from H2 to Reach and just skipped over H3. haha.

@MacGyver1138: That's probably better. I read Animorphs when it wasn't my turn to play the Gameboy between my two brothers and I. Haha.

@SuprShin: Haha yeah.

@Razerhd: Yeah, I already have 57 bucks of traded in games towards it so I just need to trade in some other crap I'm not using and I won't notice the difference. Or just try to justify the difference.

@SuprShin: It'll happen. Has to. I don't think it'll be in the Beta but it will be there. So will Forge and Theater, of course. REACH means Replayability.

@MrGerbz: That's not how we do things. We are believers in the arbitrary... well, okay at this point that's just what we're taught but SOMEBODY loved arbitrary measurements and notations!

@MacGyver1138: If I had a super-long bus ride it would have totally justified my purchase (or christmas present request, haha) for a gameboy or DS (depending on when you were in school.)

High School Students do too. I got out of High School at 2:45 until Halfway through my Sophomore year. Then I qualified for Early Dismissal and was home by 2. My friends and I used to "Dance Party"on top of Ascension in Halo 2. Good Times.

@Donutta: I'd say 1/8th of them can. About half of the seniors are 18 when they need to be in order to vote...

@thefloodgod: NAY! BOW before it!

@gunluva plays the hopscotch on the pro circuit: Was gonna say the same thing, Gunluva...

UGH. Mr. Plunkett. You're forgetting that the people that say that there's too much Halo now will still buy the game. The number of people that whine on the internet and the number of people that are willing to back up their words are worlds apart. And all those worlds might just buy Halo: Reach.

Based on some of the comments...

@JC_Denton: Microsoft...

@bakura: He's the guy from Dateline NBC's "To Catch a Predator". Chris Hansen... You know, the guy that catches pervy old guys online trying to "date" underage girls...

@arionfrost: Isn't that a bit sexist? It could be that the kid on the right will become a lazy adult who does nothing but work at a gas station to support his video game habit while the girl could become a lawyer, doctor, teacher, anything really. Why is that just because she's kissing a guy you assume she'll be a…
