The Reluctant Gamer
Granted, I do not have as many video game systems in the house now that I am single, nor do I have as many games. All those things had to be divided. Nonetheless, I still have my fair share of consoles and games. I did not get the Xbox 360, but I’ve had worse things happen. Obviously, I didn’t get the XBOX 360 video gameseither. I got the original and all the games that go with it, so all is well.
It’s not hard-wired in me to be a gamer, but after being married to someone who was all but addicted to gaming for as long as I was, it rubbed off on to a reasonable degree.
I’m a little more patient than my ex and don’t mind ordering games online. I don’t feel like I have to have a new game the day it comes out. I still remember waiting in line at one of the local video game stores at the crack of dawn to get a copy of Halo 2, so I could surprise my husband at the time. We would play on our 55-inch HD TV and I kid you not, the neighborhood kids would gather at our house. We were the most popular adults around. Some of the kids even bought their own controllers just to use at our house. It’s one of those games that I actually just liked to sit back and watch other people play, because that way I could enjoy the graphics instead of focusing in on shooting and stuff.
Have you SEEN the promo for Halo 3? Holy cow is all I can say. I pasted it in at the end of this post.
Game Quest Direct has a $10 off special for pre-orders of Halo 3. You know me and my absolute propensity for shopping online with coupon codes. I can hardly help myself. Actually, their site had weekly coupon specials, so all the better.
