Anything that happens on the internet, stays on the internet... so while it may be an act of war... it's an act of virtual warfare... and now the chinese and americans are gonna have to duke it out in a big game of Halo 2.

Dang! Now I'm gonna have to get an xBox and learn how to play Halo!

I hate being cannon fodder!

Just a tip Cat, don't fire the Halo Rocket Launcher or throw a grenade at a bad guy in an enclosed space. The results are bad.

Honey, can I get an xBox? I know we have two broken PS2's at home I promised to buy parts for and fix and a bunch of games for PS2, but the kids have scratched up most of the good ones... Or can I get a PS3? Is Halo / Halo2 out for PS3?

I can use it with the Scouts... honest, it wouldn't just be for me... wink.gif

Good luck with that one, Cat...

PS> Was just contacted last week, out of the blue, by an old game designer buddy with whom I've collaborated to write the stories for three of his games... turns out there might be inteterest stirring for a fourth sequel... I am still debating whether I want to do it, because it's a pretty hefty commitment of free time... but then... who am I kidding? Of course I'm gonna do it. :)

Sorry Cat, Halo is XBox only. Although you can get Lego Star Wars on X Box also.

We had a rather lengthy discussion teaching 9 year olds, about the Ressurrection of Christ, about video games, power, control, and those new lives you get in games... We talked about the Plan of Salvation... and how videogames warp your mind and are a lot like the devil's plan for us... :)

I love lessons like that. :)

I already did. He's got hot pink body armor!

I hear the only thing that stopped the Chinese from getting all the pentagon data is that they were using a pirated verson of Microsoft Windows and got the Blue Screen of Death.

So the kids can break that too? Yeah, right.
I don't think so.

I think the PS3 and xBox don't have moving trays disc trays... wink.gif

And, I could install an R2-D2 electro-shock thingee that comes out and zaps the kids if they ever come close to it...
