Nostalgia Level 9000!

Check my giant shiny visor.
A day of Halo is to follow.

I'm awoken by a cryptic phone call, the details of this call were classified, something about hard ice and no work, I roll with it.

What follows is hopefully a sweet session of Halo, where we finish Halo Combat Evolved and hopefully hammer some Halo 2 Anniversary in the process.

Two months I've had this game and I've managed 8 levels! Appalling behaviour Caleb, Jesus.

In my defence Halo is meant for cooperative play, even better than that local split screen, nothing better than punching your friend when he saves the day, getting worked over by 8 Grunts in the process.
He wants to start in 'The Business'.

Like some weird kind of Grunt on Chief porn.

Whilst transporting the One I laugh at the fact it doesn't fit in my car, I mean bag. The PS4 doesn't have this problem neither does the Wii U. I wonder if I can get some straps and wear it like a ruck sack? saying that it'll probably give me back problems.

If your interested to know my PS4 lives in HDMI 1, Wii U in HDMI 2 then Thee One in HDMI 3. I don't know when this console became such a laughing stock in my eyes but it does always make me giggle when I look at it. True story.

It's become somewhat a back up console for exclusives I can't play on PS4, The Master chief Collection being one of them, believe it or not it hasn't always been that way. The Xbox One was my first next gen console followed by the PS4, what followed after that was a 6 month dust collecting phase till Sunset Overdrive and Halo come out mid November.

I call it my Beta machine, that's what it's mostly been doing for the past 3 weeks, and because it looks like a design someone in the mid 90's okay'd which is still in the testing phase of its life before they stream line it down and sexy it up.

That's enough bullying for one day.
Someone needs to get fired.

Actually no it's not, what the fucks up with the games being on the wrong side of the case, this genuinely angers me every time I open a box, you cant even change the cover around because it say's Xbox One upside down on it! damn it.

Shotguns are the most fun. I forgot that.

We spend a lot of the time running and gunning waiting for the flood to jump in for a hug, blowing each other into chief sized chunks in the process with grenades, we adopt the 'Grenade' cry every time we throw one just to warn one another about their impending doom. Pro shit!

We attempt to drive our own warthogs to safety on the last level, bad architect award goes to the arsehole who designed this level, It keeps on ending in tears, One warthog is flipped off the side, mine then gets blown up by an imaginary explosion.

In this attempt, friend that shall not be named gets 50 metres away from the end then chokes and eats grenade, next time luck seems to be on our side as we both finish, health intact.
My ears look like a scrotum.

Halo Combat Evolved done. Finally the reason I got this game to see them wonderful Halo 2 Anniversary graphics.

We start Halo 2 on Legendary, veterans of the legendary game, Many hours spent on Coop, days spent battling Online, One to many hours spent playing local multiplayer, Best map ever award going to Guardian on Halo 3, simple, painful, intimate a lot like marriage?

I die whilst running around like a gun ho headless chicken, uh rah! The game decides to start again, what?! It then happens when one of us dies, 'We don't have the iron skull on do we' I cry, looks like its heroic from here on out.
The worst skull ever for people like me.

Fuck me these cut scenes! Unlike the first Halo, where you couldn't change the view of the videos whilst watching them you can now, all remade to replicate the old videos but bringing that next gen vision and up datedness to the Whole package and my god it does.

A few levels fly by, one to many friendly grenade kills and then all of a sudden it's home time.

Damn people with real lives.

Koi Koi
