Anticipation

There was a feeling of anticipation that I had about a year before Halo 3 was released. Being a long time fan of bungie and the fact that I played Marathon as a young child affected me, so obviously anything bungie releases I will be there waiting to get a slice.

Now that i think of it I was about the age of the kids that play Halo 3 with their high pitched voices in my marathon years, but when I was that age I had none of the animosity that is in games today. Its almost like talking shit has become second nature to most gamers. I will admit that sometimes i'll let it fly and when I say I have been playing games since you were in diapers and you say "dude, we're the same age!" I'm still right!

Back to the point the feeling of anticipation. It just kicked in in full force for Reach. just knowing that bungie will feed us little tiny bits of information over the coming months makes me to say the least giddy. I feel that if I in the future can supply one person with this amount of giddiness i will have done my job right.

It is the feeling to jump out of your seat and go to bungie and get it now, but there is a line in people who do that and people who don't and I am happy to be sitting on the latter side.

It is that feeing of being 24 to 24 in a team doubles match.

It is the infamous duo that was Tycho Bob and Musketeer One.

It is knowing that the thing you anticipate will give you things to anticipate
that you wont know about until you get it.

Its getting an entire team of friends for a big team battle.

Its getting the first headshot to open the game.

What is it to you?

Peace
Tycho Bob
