Control your destiny

I didn't get to mention this earlier, but while we're still on the Halo rant, check out what I got my boyfriend -

Your eyes do not deceive you - it's a limited edition Halo 3 themed controller for the 360. It even comes with a Todd McFarlane figure of Master Chief. He hasn't taken it out of its package yet; he tells me that he's going to wait until he plays the game to break the seal, if you will. The controller comes in two designs, the other being that of one of the monsters from the game. If you're so inclined to grab one of these babies, they're available at your local Target Greatland.

Lost Planet Dance Party

If you look at :53 into the video, you'll see a guy in a white and black suit wandering in, looking around and thinking, "What the hell are you all doing!?" That's my boyfriend tsudoku. All the other guys dancing/taunting, well, they're his friends.

If this is what he and his friends do during Lost Planet, I can't even imagine what they're going to do once Halo 3 comes out!

*20 more days.

The anguish involved on being a NPGF

As some of you technogeeks may already know, it's September, and you know what that means: Halo 3 is due to make its anticipated release on September 25. For people like me who are bound to a relationship dictated by how long a match is going to last on Lost Planet or Gears of War, that means there's 22 more days until geek mayhem ensues. As an NPGF who's happily committed (2.5 years today as a matter of fact), I've professed my love and even went so far as to offer to stand in line for the midnight release of Halo 3 at our local GameStop. If that isn't love, then I don't know what is!
