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.
Rick showed me to a car that was in the game. Now, I never really had much of a chance to drive before my long nap, so I was a little nervous about driving here, but I got behind the wheel of that thing, and let me tell you, I couldn’t do it for very long. Guys just kept walking in front of me as I was driving, and that’s not very nice, hitting someone with your car. There was one guy on the back with a really big gun shooting at these little guys who were just walking around, and there was nothing I could do about that, so I just tried to be as careful as I could. I drove as slowly as I could, and was real careful about turning. The guy on the back kept shooting all theses guys. He wasn’t very nice. I don’t think I like him very much.
So I’ve got these glowing things that Ricky tells me are grenades. And they stick to stuff, which is a real knee slapper. I put on one this one little guy and he ran around for a few seconds hollering and yelling stuff. Boy oh boy, was that funny. I got back into my car and drove away from the fighting because I wanted to win the game without having to end everyone’s life, and one of the little guys threw a flashy blue thing at my car. And would you believe it stuck on? It was the darndest thing I ever saw. I tried to move my car left and right, but it wouldn’t come off. I haven’t seen a real grenade in this decade, but if they’re anything like that blue thing, the Krauts are sure gonna be in a heap of trouble.
I didn’t get the chance to do much more than that, but Ricky told me that the rest of the game isn’t much different. This Master Chef man is a pretty neat guy and I hope that they make more games with him in them. I just hope they put a story in there next time. That would be really wonderful.
