Oho! It's happened! It's finally happened!

Yesterday, Kaitlin, otherwise known as Kidd or little sis, extreme fan of Twilight and other such romance novels, officially became a Halo fan! It was GLORIOUS!

She's been playing through the CE Anniversary campaign, and then yesterday, Sissy and I escorted her through much of Reach's campaign. Along the way, she wanted to know everything about the story as she became increasingly adept at the controls! It couldn't have been better timed either, as we have all been harping on her to increase her video game skills as she's a new driver and needs to greatly increase her spacial awareness.

Of course, the best part is that at long, long last, she understands Halo like her older three siblings! For so long, she just didn't get it, and now, she asks to play! Our new favorite pastime is to play multiplayer with all four of us. It's always Bubby or I who win, but Kidd and Sissy get some pretty sick kills and steals!

Ahh... I feel like I've accomplished something profound. I'd say my work is done, but with Halo? No... No, I pray that my Halo days are never over!

If only I could get more people to play Halo with me :(

Stupid Skyrim and MW 3 (which I need someone for also) taking people away.

For games that have co-op, I like playing with friends, and I don't like playing single player unless it required it (i.e. Mass Effect)

Aww. I've been pretty bad myself lately. Haven't barely been able to play with my clan... I just have so many things to do!

No knocking MW3, though! It's a pretty amazing game! I can't wait until I have time again to play. Of course, by that time, we'll probably own Arkham City and Skyrim, which will probably suck up a lot of my time. ... But Halo is just the BEST. UGH! WHY did they have to release so many incredible games at the same time? At least when movies do that, it's just 2 hours here or there, and you're DONE! Video games take tens upon tens of hours! Hundreds when you get into the best ones...!

I completely forgot to ask you though: How is MGS HD? I'm really tempted to buy it, but I just can't see myself spending $10 more on an old game that they didn't improve the graphics on. 343 did a TON of incredible work, and it's a full $10 cheaper!

LOL You put up a post about it a couple weeks ago. I read over it quickly, but apparently forgot to come back and comment. That's happened a lot lately...

We do indeed need to play more. I dunno when I'll get to sit in front of the xbox again, tho. I've got writing, photo editing, icon making, and team decorations for work to attend to galore this month!
