Verbal Kent. Moving on, I am <i>ATHEOS!</i> I'm old, comparatively speaking. I'm probably older than most of you. I was a Soldier for 10 years. And not just a slouch or national guard geek either, I was light Infantry, a Ranger, and combat veteran many times over. Now that part of my life is over, I play video games...a lot...and by video games I mean Halo. In Iraq, I got my company addicted to Halo 1 and when it came out, 2 as well. Yes we had electricity and <sh*tty> televisions with foreign X-Boxes. But after being in the desert for days at a time smelling camel crotch and haj* blood it helps to relieve the stress no matter what the video quality. Fragging your friends on Halo sure beat shooting them in the face for real. Anyway, I am trying to get my 5 posts since I have an extremely good idea for the current map challenge on the main page. More to follow.....(?) Oh yeah, forgot this part. I was in Iraq just after the initial invasion. I had stowed my xbox, a tv, router, Halo, and enough Cat. V to reach 500-600ft in a HUMMWV (Humvee) I honestly think that during the second week of us being in country I may have been the first person ever to introduce Halo to the Persians of the Cradle of Life. Meaning: I schooled Haj*i in the art of teabaggin'.
Atheos welcome to the forums... I too am in the military. However, I am in the Air Force, so no front lines for me yet. Anyways, please do not double post... there is a modify button for a reason. Hence I am combining your post.
