Today’s game is Halo 2. I’m not sure why. I just didn’t really know what to do with myself this evening and the best conclusion I could come to was “Let’s play Halo 2”. No friends this time. Just me. I decided to play solo on Normal and just take a look at all the signs. Like this one on the wall saying (I assume) no littering and no dogs. Ever since playing Portal 2 I’ve kind of been stopping to look at the signs in games. It’s fun.

I played the fan favorites playlist. Which is my favorite because I love the Scarab Fight. Ended up kicking some serious ass on there with a sniper rifle and battle rifle. Felt like The Master Chief. Which is impressive because usually I feel like I’m floundering when it comes to that battle.

Ended up following the playlist through to Delta Halo. Unlike the last one I am kind of mixed about this one. I’m not sure. I think I just don’t vibe with the huge warm grassy area aesthetic here. Besides that I feel like I’d like it.

Ended up getting stuck on the tank after getting determined to charge it on foot. At one point I actually got the tank but got rammed by a Banshee. At that point I decided a break was needed and stopped for the day. Love Halo 2 but very much felt kind of lost on what to do today so just finding something to do with myself felt good. Halo is always great for that.

It's not Halo 2, but seeing this Halo 3 mod has me feeling all nostalgic for my Xbox Live days:
