Last night was quite amusing... now that I think back on it. I managed to get away from work a whole 30 mins early WOOT! mainly so I could get home ahead of the traffic, get something to eat and sit down and start playing Halo 3. See not a complicated plan, quite simple and easy to follow. I did not however expect the level of delays I faced. Fistly I got a text message from my good friend Rich asking if I was up to anything that evening. I texted back saying if he fancyied some Halo 3 action at mine he was more than welcome. So I went round to pick him up. Sadly I had to wait about 1 hour until he had finished compressing some video he was working on. Never under estimate the value of inaccurate inteligence on your mates activities and timescale can have on yours. So then I have to swing past the supermarket to get some food for this evenings meal and some suitable refreshments for this evenings activities. Queue running into my girlfriends best mate. Now she is a lovley lovely girl but she can hold a conversation all by herself. So queue Rich and I standing in the dairy aisle nodding politely and smiling. There goes another hour. Finally we get back to mine by which time I'm starving and need some food. So a final painful 30 mins passes and I can now sit down to play Halo 3. Well what can I say. I had a very strange first reaction to Halo 3. It felt rather like I had been here before. Which was only off putting because you usually expect a new game to make a drastic impression but there was no need here Halo did that all those years ago on the Xbox. The real appeal of this game is the combat and the liffle finishing touches that perhaps were missing from Halo 2. Now I will do a full review once I complete the game and have doused myself in the multiplayer but suffice to say I feel an awful lot like an old friend has come back to visit and it feels good :)
