It's not just about the Halo

For quite some time I've been meaning to post about the Halo parties I host with my man cub and his buddies and how much fun we have, and today is the day to finally get it done.

If you're not familiar with the game of Halo, it's an Xbox video game where you form two teams and hunt down and kill your opponents. It's pretty mild graphics and gore but certainly not "kid-propriate." We setup a network of 3 game consoles and TVs because it's a lot more fun to have teams of 4 or 5 players which gives you alot more targets to hunt down and kill.

We've had a couple of these parties and the last one I got around to snapping a few pixs in between rounds of carnage. The trophy wives busy themselves upstairs with games and tending to the youngsters while the multi-screen chamber of death rages on in the basement.



It's all great fun and lasts for several hours until we can no longer endure the unblinking stares. And from what I can tell, the gamers all enjoy the opportunity to play and complain that they've been killed AGAIN by "Don-O-Death." Maybe they just let me win cause it's my house, and I'm ok with that. Either way, I look forward to the next party.
