Is there something wrong with me?

Am I the only one that got a huge boner playing Halo 2? I mean, not to be totally disgusting, but come on? It was possibly the most beautiful thing I saw this weekend (aside from the frag dollz and the girl getting her boobs signed by the minibosses). I just wanted to know that I wasn't alone.

but sure, halo 2 is pretty
i sold all my consoles a while ago, becaues i never really play them anymore and i really needed the money. right now all i have is a GBASP which i am quite please with. i keep thinking i'll get an xbox again when halo 2 comes out, but then i think 'why would i do such a silly thing when i can just go to someone's house and play it for free?' i'd rather get something cool like a dreamcast for 20 bucks.

yeah, everyone seemed surprised that they were really good at BA or something...but, they work for Ubi.
If your huge boner was the most beautiful thing you saw this weekend, then yes, there is something wrong.

I was one of the people doing the betatest for HALO 2. Now that the beta is over, I find myself anxiously pacing the house, trying to decide if I should pick up some other game just to tide me over until 9 November.
The game will be good, and I miss it before the darn thing is released. :x
That's pretty much what I thought it would be like.
In fact, when I was watching The Wizard, my friend called me.
"Dude, they're showing Halo 2, where are you?"
"I'm in the theater."
"Don't you want to see Halo 2?"
"No."
"Oh, okay. Bye."
So no need to fret over it, nobody got to play the new Splinter Cell but them and the UBI guy. However, it was awesome to see it in action and it will totally kick ass when it comes out next year.
Edit: He even said that it was a very specific path and certain things that could be done in their showable demo. Lots of rooms if you were to walk into them would have NPCs just standing there not doing anything etc. Lots of stuff not implemented and/or functional. He said unless you knew exactly where to go and what to do it wouldn't look very good
After reading about it, I thought it'd be a bit different, but it really was just Halo but shinier and different weapons.
i saw some other people playing splinter cell
a) Half-Life 2 trailer
b) Unreal 3 trailer
c) Five minutes with Doom 3.
Maybe you have to have read the Halo novels or something to get excited about Halo 2, but I've felt like Halo has been overhyped since the beginning - it's a good game, but so is Serious Sam.
i can't really think of any games i'm really looking forward to, halo 2 just gets a big "meh" from me. now metal slug on the SP, fuck yeah.
and half life 2.
Anyway, don't get too worked up over it, Belacua. I know Borfase doesn't have a thing against girl gamers because he gets along great with MulysaSempronius, who is a girl gamer. It's more the perception that we're brainless girly girls, and while some of us are undeniably girly, only time will show him whether we're brainless or not.
We really don't need to be fawned over and told we're doing well when we're not. As a girl, I get that all the time on LIVE and I have to wreak some havoc to get the other players to even try to kill me. It's best just to be treated fairly and get a chance to prove ourselves against players who are cool with going against us and who will try their damnedest to win. That way, when we do something noteworthy, we deserve the credit we get.
you're right, i shouldn't be such an asshole to you guys. the thing that annoys me though is just how (no offense to your group or anything) guys automatically start fawning over girls that play games, and that's what it sort of seems like to me.
i was being an asshole earlier, you guys seem like a swell bunch.
sorry.
Although we can't help if we "appreciacte" the Frag Dolls on a certain level, everybody here knows that at the end of the day they're just gamers. At least I assume everybody here knows this because it's also been demonstrated that Ubisoft didn't just go out and recruit some girls who look good holding a controller. I wasn't there but I understand they really cleaned up in the tournaments.
That's the kind of crap I can't stand in the game industry when it comes to attractive girls. If they can't play games don't even insult my intelligence. Gamers while in a lot of cases anti-social and not always the first to attract the attention of women aren't so desperate as to watch a bad game award show because they put a has been playboy model in cosplay outfits for characters that look nothing like her body type. It might have worked to get other people to watch it who have not interest in games but it made me change the channel and it only took me 6 seconds to change the channel when I ran across that crap. Now they got Bloody Rayne in Playboy which is a further insult to the gaming industry and gamers and what they think will sell games, with this new "forget legitimate gameplay, more boobies" philosophy. It doesn't mean female characters shouldn't be attractive, but dang it if she's in an RPG and as a warrior what in the world is with the bare midriff and leather shorts. BRA does not stand for battle-ready armor, sure she looks hot in it, but what woman, especially a warrior worried about not having her entrails spilled out on the ground by something sharp, would wear something like that while adventuring. She should be wearing armor just like the guy, maybe lighter, of course custom to a more feminine shape and it can be attractive in a feminine sort of way but don't have me believe her adomenen and thighs are nigh invulnerable. I understand its primarily a male audience and a guy would rather have to look an attractive female figure then an unattractive one in game(I imagine same goes for the girls towards guys) but flaunting it to the unrealistic measures they do things now is idiotic and does not influence my decision to by a game. I buy for the gameplay, I played Prince of Persia: SOT because it was the best translation of the classic ones and had awesome gameplay, not because Farah is hawt and walks around in harem garb. Same goes for 007: Everything or Nothing, great game, I could care less if Shannon Elizabeth or whoever is a Bond girl in it. The list goes on.
I loathe G4TV and what they did to TechTV, Morgan Webb is the only respectable female on there so far that I've seen and thats cause I know she is genuinely a gamer and not some porn industry reject the rest of the staff seems to be. I remember she was on the Screen Savers and would bring up gaming all the time and talk about her favorite games randomly, so the natural choice for TechTV was to move her to X-play, and then she got all the flack the Frag Dolls are getting now because she thought she was just some hot girl for gamers to lust after and get them to watch the show ignoring the fact she had legitimate credentials and not knowing anything about her background having not watched the show. There's a good roll model for the Frag Dolls (except the Maxim shoot I lost respect for her for that).
/end rant
Perhaps it's a mark of how jaded I've become about female gamers posing for such publications, but I didn't lose any respect for her after that. All I remember thinking when I heard about it was "Well, at least it wasn't Playboy like Stevie Case."
edit: I actually just looked through a bunch of those guy mags, and Maxim was the most respecable, so kudos to her for choosing that one. She could have done much worse.
...if there were no girls, what so ever, at any game event. the competition level would go down. cuz we would have no one to show off for. or say stupid shit in front of. i know i said uterus punch about 4 times infront of some girls, they just shake their heads. I say it regaurdless, but shit...thats some funny stuff.
gamers or not...if they arent there, ill hire hookers.
