Well, tomorrow is a big day. Halo 2 is coming out. I have a copy reserved in my name at the GameStop next to my Panera. I am not "hard core" enough to stay out and get the game at midnight, and I am glad, because I gave up that opportunity for more hours at work this week, which will pay for over half of the price of the game anyway. Also, I can now leave work, drop by the GameStop, grb my copy, head to class, and put in a very full day (5:45AM to 4PM -- over 9 hours) of work and school. That should make playing H2 feel like a well deserved reward.
To everyone who also had the game pre-ordered or reserved --
Oh wait, all of you will be too busy playing Halo 2 to read this.
My homegroup leader just got Halo 2 and I haven't gotten to play it yet. I kinda don't want to play it because I loved Halo and I'm afraid that I'll get sucked in for the next few weeks and never get any work done. I love video games and I don't need to waste time playing them again like I used to. I could use my time more wisely.

Sure I played it for several hours when I first loaded it up, but I had scheduled time for that. Now that I am moving along in my campaign I don't really feel a super strong urge to play it. I know that I will play it again, and soon, but my desire to get other things done is stronger than my desire to play Halo 2.
