Is it just me, or are people getting stupider? No where is this more apparent than jumping into a match of Halo 3. It never fails when I jump into a social match, people call me out for one reason or another. And they always say my name wrong. As if I've somehow spelled it in some strange way. As far as I know, the word Gemini has been around for a few years. I didn't' make it up. But somehow, I'm always referred to as Gee-mini. Like I'm mini. I actually had a kid who couldn't have been more than 12 tell some other guy who was probably in his twenties how to say it...INCORRECTLY!
"Look, it says Gee-mini." "Oh", the guys says. He actually had said it right and was shot down by the kid.
Amazing!
Then, once we were in the map, both of them called me a fag for not helping them and not killing the guys killing them.
What amazes me is the fact that people resort to all sorts of misspellings in order to have a unique gamertag. They use 1337 speak, they insert little x's between each letter of their name. And somehow, when we're in a game, everyone gets called by the right name. "Hey, P33intheshower, pick me and xTHExMADxMANx up in the Warthog!" Meanwhile, I get "hey, gee-mini ass!" I mean, I appreciate people saying I have a mini ass, but still.
More Gamer Stand Up
This episode is short on comedy but it makes up for it in the sheer amount of Halo talk. We're flashing back again this week to when Halo 3 was new and we were a few years younger. Looking back, it's surprising how much we seem to dislike the game back in those early days. Now, with Halo Reach less than six months away and the Beta starting on May 3rd, our excitement is whipped up to a frenzy!
ROADTRIP! This episode we take the long 20 minute drive to our local Gamestop and partake in some early ODST action! We got briefed on the game, then jumped into Firefight mode. It was awesome! Then we got treated like royalty at Panera Bread. Best day ever!
