Hey, glad to hear you'll be back with us soon!
Looking forward to it!

By the way, I've installed Linux Ubuntu to dual-boot alongside Windows... It's frickin' awesome xD of course, I still have to go to Windows to play Oblivion and such, but in a way it's good, because it makes me do slightly more productive things, like write, and post on forums :3

Anyways, can't wait to speak to you once you recover the internets.

If it was ever going to reach me I'd be happier (laughs)

Hahaha, there you are! Well I guess I'll write an essay about it. Halo 1 was...Hellishly easy up until the warthog run at the end, but damn was it fun. Halo 2 was just hellishly easy--but what the hell is up with the ending? When the hell do Microsoft expect me to get enough cash for a 360 to finish the story? Though I suppose I can get the PC version... Still, I enjoyed the both of them quite thoroughly.

At the beginning of Halo 1, I hated Cortana. I guess the Halo 1 engine wasn't quite perfect, because she seemed to hold off when it came to telling me what to do next, often leaving me hanging for ages before pointing me in the right direction- but after I lost her for a while, I started to miss her, and became rather glad to get her back. I guess slaughtering people alone in silence doesn't always beat slaughtering people with an AI voiceover.

I loved the arbiter (sounded more like arbitor, but whatever) in halo 2. as well as getting to use the energy blade. In halo 1 one of my main fears stemmed from the shielded energy blade soldiers slicing me whilst I wasn't looking, but in halo 2 the tables kind of turned.

Driving a tank was pretty awesome, I love the fact that you could run vehicles over.

Halo 2 was remarkably well designed compared to Halo 1, in which the gameplay was a heavy saving point in comparison to the engine. By Halo 2 the engine was pretty solid, even the level design had taken a massive step up.

I developed a severe hated for the brutes, which was fine considering I spent most of the game blowing them up. I also despise the flood- they're a brilliant enemy concept that steadily builds up a sufficient level of hatred. I found that by their appearance in the second game I was enraged by their very presence. I also found I was more efficient at killing them, even going so far as to cut up the dead bodies to avoid them getting back up.

All in all I think I enjoyed Halo 2 far more than Halo 1, a solid engine more than makes up for the slimmer amount of story in the second game, especially the better vehicle control.

(chuckles quietly) I've been thinking of installing Ubuntu alongside vista on my new computer once I've got all the parts together. Just the HD and graphics card to go now...Expensive!

Knew you'd love it! But hey, you have to remember that Halo 1 is now a pretty old game so it's understandable that it doesn't look too good. But man, is it fun! I looove the Library level, so much Flood to blow up! Not so keen on Halo 2 myself, it was too short and not enough of Chief (hehehe). Halo 3 hasn't been released for PC (yet, or won't be at all, don't know) so you might be a bit stuck now. Battle rifle in Halo 3 is AWESOME. Sooo many headshots...*shudders*

It's not the graphics that got me in Halo 1, it was the engine itself- the sense of movement and gravity, the vehicles, the jumping, things like that... Damn, not much of a chance of me playing halo 3 any time soon then... How've you been anyhow?

Well, it was an old engine. What'd you think of the Chief?
I've been fine, I guess. Not too bad, still no job, all that jazz...you?
