 I give up. Not only am I a video game geek, but I’m a geek geek. There is no hiding it any more. More specifically, I’ve become a Halo geek. Sure, I’ve played Halo my fair share of Halo 2. Who hasn’t? But it has gone beyond that. The first nail in the glass coffin was the Halo 3 ARG that just started. The “alternate reality game” is a long and involved community game that will bring players deeper in the Halo story through interaction. Fine, that’s still in the realm of games. Video games, at that. That doesn’t bring my geek factor up to radioactive levels. Oh, but what’s this on my credit card statement? It looks like someone who is me purchased a copy of The Fall Of Reach, the first Halo novel. Should I say that again? Halo novel. And what’s worse? I’m enjoying it. Instead of watching TV while sipping the remaining milk from my breakfast bowl, I’m reading The Fall Of Reach. It’s the great depression of my coolness stock market. If you purchased shares in my hip and with-it-ness, you are now bankrupt. I apologize. But, as long as we’re here, anyone want to talk Halo? Anybody? Echo?

Sure, I’ll talk Halo!
Besides, I wouldn’t sound so down about your geek factor… it might come in handy! I didn’t use to consider myself a geek, but now I kinda do, and my amazingly beautiful girlfriend still loves me, lol. I just got finished reading Ghosts of Reach, and it was great! I highly recommend it if you haven’t read it already. The Halo 3 ARG (Iris) is turning out to be quite the mystery… I really want to solve it! : )
Just know that there are other Halo fans out there, being a geek isn’t a bad thing, and you should probably try to advertise your blog better, lol.
ttyl!

If it makes you feel any better, a while ago I went into a Borders specifically looking for The Fall of Reach. I was in full blown Halo fever back then. They did not have any copies and I left the store defeated. I have since lost the urge to look for it again . . . although if you tell me it is good I might just have to go back.

It is enjoyable and very interesting. Also, I am not paying your gas bill for the drive back to Borders. Even if it is my fault.

D’oh! I was sorta counting on that gas money . . .
