Sunday Stu - Halo: Combat Evolved
Hiya pals. Stu here, with my first bit of writing here at Homestyle Gaming. Charlie and Eliot told me they put my information on the About page, so you might want to give that a quick looksy. So I’m just checking in, telling you about this thing that Ricky brought over. It’s called Halo: Combat Evolved, and it’s the darnedest thing I’ve ever seen. He says it’s the biggest thing in games in this decade, so I said “What the hey. Let’s give it a go.”
So first the game tells me to look around. So I do. I look at Ricky, I look at my couch, I look at the TV – I look at everything. I figure the game wants me to stretch my neck before I get ready for a really fun time. Ricky tells me to wiggle the nubs on the dealy that he gave me with all the buttons on it. When I do that, the TV starts doing stuff, so I guess the game is starting.
About 10 minutes in, the game puts a giant gun in my view and tells me to kill the enemy. Some girl, that I think is my conscience, keep telling me what to do, and Ricky points out who the guys are who need to be killed. Would you believe that when I was shooting the gun, the dealy started moving? I thought it was arthritis, but no, the dealy was moving on its own. Well, I’ll be a son of a gun.
