The programmers in my office are playing Halo in the conference room. They brought in an Xbox and set it up on the projector and invited their programmer friends over to all play together. Whee, I feel like I'm working in a pre-bust dot com or something!
Actually they're not playing yet, they're trying to configure everything, figure out who gets which quadrant of the screen, so on and so forth. They set it up for me to play with them but I don't have the time today. Besides, I'm kind of afraid of this game being as good as they say it is. I really, really don't need another video game addiction. Last year I played Diablo II until I had to quit because of lingering pain in my wrist. I could have been using that time so much more productively! I don't regret it though. That was a really fun game.
[Later] Okay, now they're playing. I sat in the conference room and watched for a few minutes. Couldn't stay for long though. It reminded me too much of being in high school and watching boys play video games. Ugh! Anything that reminds me of being a teenager must be stopped immediately.
