Wow. It's actually here. I'm in lurve!!! Hey Chief, you can Master me anytime you like, big boy! Rawr! *cough* Double meanings aside, it's a freaking good game. The graphics are great, and thanks to this little "Git it Calibrated" feature that Sarge talks you through, my picture is now crystal clear. Lol, it's really random at the end. A Grunt does a little dance and everything! My brother and I have both been working our way through the game, one level at a time. I'm playing it on easy first, and my brother thinks I'm mad. So? I've got a good reason. Sure, I've played the other Halos way too many times to remember, but this is a new game, on a new console, with some new changes to how you move MC around. I want to get used to it before I go charging in on Heroic. Not that I haven't tried it already. I've got two 'mission complete' thingies for the first and second missions, a "Fear the Pink Mist" achievement, "Headshot Honcho" and "Used Car Salesman" achievements too. Yeah, I'm boasting. So what? I can be proud of myself, can't I?

Okay, I know I'll probably say something that will ruin the game for those who haven't played it, so ***SPOILER ALERT*** just in case I do screw up. I promise to try and be nice though. As the Piggyback team say, "Spoilers are the work of the Devil." In any case, my favourite level would have to be The Ark. It's got a sniping range, which I just love. And Hunters! And tanks! Who doesn't love an almost-indestructable vehicle that can take out a Phantom with 3 shots? Plus, Little Bro and I just love the Scarab Tank fight towards the end. We played it together in Co-Op on Heroic, using the little laser-Warthog, and few...damn, you really have to try it! It's awesome! The real fun part is fighting over who gets to take the credit for blowing up the power-core. =D It's normally Bro, though...he told on me fo hogging the green remote (little bugger), so I have to play nice. Once to get him back, I "accidentally" hit him with a rocket launcher. I said I was trying to blow up the Wraith near his Warthog, but we both knew what was going down. Don't worry, he got me back good.

We both have Gamertags now, seeing as you can make more than one profile on the Xbox console. Neither of us have ever played Multiplayer online, though, so that sould be an exciting new experience! We did customise our little soldiers. Hours of fun, I assure you. I'm very fussy with colours. But I settled on my "Purple Wolf" gal, and she looks mighty fine. My brother is an Elite (boohissboo) with brown armour called "Jon Quill, DX...no relation to the flower, I assure you." Yeah, sure. In case you don't get it, a 'jonquil' is a type of daffodil. I made my brother painfully aware that his 'cool sounding name' was a flower speices, but he said, "How do you know that on Sanghelios that Jon Quill isn't justa name?" I gave him his point, only to stop him going on about how the wolf emblem of mine is white, not purple. He still doesn't get that it's because my armour is purple... But yeah, enough about us.

Must be off, I suppose...big day tomorrow. Helping mum plan for the Australia Day bbq we're hosting. Lamb, lamb and more lamb, with pavlova. Guess who's doing all the cooking this year?
