Amongst all my other DVR recordings (holiday specials for the kids, my wife's "Desperate Housewives"...), the highlight of my morning was taking in the "recorded" finals of Major League Gaming's HALO2 tourney in NYC. Now for those of you that know me, you know HALO2 is by far my favorite game, bar none. It was exciting watching two excellent teams (Team "Carbon" and Team "Final Boss") duke it out for the $30,000 purse, and while I wasn't physically there, I could feel the intensity in the room. I picked up some great game play tips as well, and I hope to be able to incorporate those into my next HALO2 fragfest, if I can drag myself away from GoW long enough to throw a different game into the console. I must say though that I would like to have seen more "30 somethings" taking part in the tournaments. I'm left to wonder though, as I was watching the finals, perhaps all the 30 somethings that had shown up had been beaten by all the teenagers and early 20 year olds. Discouraging to say the least if that is the case, but Ill keep playing regardless.....
I look forward to Christmas Day, and all the new XBOX360 goodies I'll be getting. I put virtually all of the items Microsoft has to offer for the 360 on my Christmas list, so its inevitable that I'll get something I can actually use as a present.
'07 should be a great year for gaming, not just for myself but for members of our team as well. After watching the MLG event this morning, I am even more inspired to make our next LAN gaming event a huge success. Stay tuned for more info, and be sure to send your ideas across if you want to see something specific at our next event.
See ya online....
