Halo 3 and the Best of Humanity

Halo 3 has been available for over 24 hours now and it’s difficult to turn anywhere without seeing something written about it. It’s generally your standard “Halo 3 will make Microsoft $1846183746387461863″ fare in the media and from fans its “ZOMG HALO 3 IS THE BEST THING SINCE JESUS.”
In the interest of culling the fold of useless comments, I’ve narrowed it down to the best two comments about Halo 3 currently available on the Internet.
The first comes from The NY Times:
Bill Gates, the chairman of Microsoft, is the richest man on earth. R. J. Bollard, a freshman at the University of Washington, said he would have 73 cents left in his bank account as of midnight. And that’s one reason Mr. Gates is likely to be the richest man on earth for quite a while.
“I don’t know how I’m going to feed myself,” Mr. Bollard said.
Foregoing food for Halo 3 is hilaaaaarious. I just hope that Mr. Bollard has a contingent plan for paying his electric bill.
The other comment surfaced on Bash.org:
E-mail from my comp sci professor:
I want to be clear on this point, because several
people have asked me.
The release of HALO3, tonight, does NOT qualify
as a religious holiday.
I miss college.

You should write a posting titled “Ten reasons why buying Halo 3 will not get you laid”. It should be an easy list to cover everything from body odor after three days of non-stop gaming to financial troubles and lack of college education.
And then Vince could write another posting titled “Ten reasons why buying Halo 3 WILL get you laid”. Have fun figuring that one out ;-)

Off-topic: Whenever I write a comment I get this after submitting it on an empty page: “wp_cache_mutex.lock”. I tried resubmitting my comment but then it says I already did, so not sure what’s wrong, but it happened several times now.

First, it WAS a religious holiday. For me.
And second, HALO 3 can get you laid. Just not you Sascha because you can’t play your cards right.

`“I don’t know how I’m going to feed myself,” Mr. Bollard said.`
That has to be the best quote I have heard in a long time. I have yet to buy the game. But to the poster about getting laid - I’m waiting so my wife and I can play together. Thats how you do it kids.

HAHA, yes. I can’t believe my quote actually made it into the NYTimes, I feel so famous.

BTW, the game is totally worth begging for food.

Yea, the last one is brilliant. Can’t wait for the game to come to my country to see what all this fuss about
