      Dude-

      I went to your site. Your server is teh suck. The site itself looked somewhat interesting, but it seemed like you were hosting it from a C64 with a tape drive.

      I like cheerleaders with ripped stomachs.

    Not to be a troll but I don't get why Halo is damn popular. I played the Demo on PC and although it was a fine game I never saw why people treated it like crack. Can somebody enlighten me on how this game blows away the competition?
