    Is anyone excited for HALO3... I feel so jubilant, just of the thought.
    Current myths(Which is False and which is true)

    - Contact lenses are bad for your eyes
    -Soda is VERY bad for you
    -Reading anything will increase reading comprehension on tests
    -Everyone in the inside feels lonely.

    I could shoot down those first two myths, but I have no facts to back myself, so I won't.

    However, I will say that the third one is mostly true because you're constantly picking up new vocabulary and seeing new writing styles. Also, the fourth one is false - not everyone is lonely.

    I bet a very lonely person 'invented' that one.

    I'm not excited about Halo 3. I was really pent up for the 2nd one, so far as to pre order it, and was sorely disappointed. It didn't live up to the first game, or the universe backstory.

    Now, if Square announced Front Mission 6, I could die happy.

    Contact lenses are perfectly safe. For example to dispel a common myth, it is physically impossible for them to turn and go onto the back of your eye

    I have the Halo 3 demo.. I dunno about you guys but its pretty damn fun. The weapons are balanced.. you can actually kill with the any gun now (including the needler). I always loved Halo because it is just a solid console FPS. Sure it doesn't require the skill of Counter Strike, but I can't play CS at my school (firewall) and my dorm has an Xbox or 2 laying around.. 4 v 4 gets pretty hectic and fun.

    The nice thing to is that it feels more like Halo 1 again.. much less auto-aim, the assault rifle is back and a spawn weapon.. the new features are nice and the graphics look pretty great.

    I'm excited for the campaign.. mainly because the Halo 2 single-player was such a let-down (I beat it in 1 night and an afternoon) (and the flood was back) (and it took place on Earth for a whole.. 20 minutes)..
