I'm not a gamer. I'm a player, but not a gamer. I started with Marathon in the 90s at work on the LAN. We played that for a long time. Then we did Myth and some Duke Nukem. Then Halo hit and we were in Heaven. Played insane LAN games of CE on Macs. Then we got an Xbox and played Halo 2 on the 4 split. By then time Halo 3 came out I was the only one left who was interested. I got a 360 and Halo for Xmas. I was 50 years old then and it was pure joy for me even though I am terrible. Got ODST and and Reach too. I like Reach even though I know the gamers have issues with it. But I'm just a player and I have no interest in dissecting the game mechanics and honing my skills to some ridiculous level. I just like immersing in the Halo world and pretending matchmaking is like some giant global LAN game. [Edited on 10.02.2012 9:54 PM PDT]
