The Night the Gaming World Stands Still

The night is upon us, Halo 3 will at long last be available at retailers at 12:01 tonight. We will finally get to finish the fight after all these years. Not only that but the fight can be finished with up to 4 players cooperatively online. For the first time gamers will be able to experience all aspects of Halo through Xbox Live. I anticipate a huge lag in Microsoft servers tonight and for the rest of the week, hopefully Bungie and Microsoft are prepared to handle this.

As for myself? I wouldn't be waiting in line despite the fact that I might be the biggest Halo fan on this website, the fact is I lost practically 2 years of my life to Halo 2, and it wasn't until about a year ago that I started like... going outside and shit because the game had consumed me so entirely. As such, I will be getting Halo 3, I just wouldn't be among the first Hundreds of Thousands to play the game.

For those of you that are venturing out tonight, enjoy it, I know many that have taken off work and school just to get and play this game, hopefully it's as good as the last two.
