Upside Down Face

went to a poetry reading last night for one of my classes. the guy reading was actually really funny. i also think that poetry sounds 153x better when the author reads it. it was a good experience

ok so here it goes. i started this blog to update on interesting things in my life and i dont really care if some people think halo is geeky or anything. if you want to judge, im an open book. but here it goes, something interesting, with halo.

team hardcore owns. well it owns when you have a team of friends and you know everyone because if you just go in solo you dont know the people and it just is weird. ive actually never played solo but i would think it would suck. i love team TMNT. kyle is Leonardo. dale is Michelangelo. luke is Raphael. and im Donatello. yea, i know i "do machines" as kyle likes to remind me everytime we play together. but Donatello owns. but anyways. we started playing hardcore last night and we are doing pretty good. everytime i play i feel like im going to have an anxiety attack because you have no radar so you dont know what the hell is going on and you need to really rely on communication from your teammates to know where everyone is. if you dont then your just going to be running around everywhere waiting for someone to come on to your screen and by then your done. but there is one game that stands out from the rest that we played last night. we love playing HC slayer on HC snowbound. we do pretty good at it. so we get set up with this one team and they have some pretty high ranking players. 2 brigadiers and 2 colonels. so we are going up against some heat. we are down the whole game. one of the guys was just plain rediculous. going around everywhere and just taking people out left and right. by the end of the game we are down 42-48 and luke says "damnit, we are going to lose" and we all agree with him. but no, here is our comeback story. three guys swarm down into the bunker on kyle and make it 42-49. kyle gets one of them and i then go in and take the other 2 out. 45-49. they swarm down into the bunker again with three guys, one of them has the overshield so anyone should be pretty confident on at least getting one kill to end it . its 45-49. dale sees that they are going down, hides in one of the bases, follows them, and assassinates the last guy in the pack. kyle takes some damage but throughs a sick grenade right when they go down. taking down their shields and then luke cleans up the last of them with a brute shot. 48-49. i while in the mean time go head to head with the best one of them all at the back entrance of the bunker and take a body-snip/punch combo right after he tries to get me with some headshots with the battle rifle. 49-49. we are freaking out. we need one more kill. they decide to group up one more time and swarm down the middle entrance of the bunker bunker. one of the teammates in the back of the pack throughs a grenade while the front one is going down. unintentionally completely weakening him. the first guy starts shooting needles. dale see's him come down and just goes for the punch. 50-49. we win. i think this experience has made dale believe in fate. it was awesome.
