HALO at the Allentown Fair!

Okay, sure, there are more productive things I could do at work but let's focus on the important stuff here. I stumbled on a website for the "Great Allentown Fair" and there will be a Game Riot tent presented by Spike TV and powered by none other than Microsoft's Xbox. The info. is as follows ...

Enter the largest festival of video games under one tent located on the
midway! For just $5 an hour, or $15 for an all-day pass, gamers unite at
this high-tech attraction featuring 31 new unreleased titles at 60 stations
and a music and light show like no other!

OH BOY! I bet I am not good enough to make it passed round one, but it sure sounds like fun, even for me. But you guys better win or someone owes me five bucks.

Even though we are all decent, none of us hold the prestigious title of "professional". Until then, I will not enter a tournament, but here are some tips to all who do:

1) If you are matched up against "The Piper," gracefully bow out of the tournament. Just ask Tom and Gar.

2) Hide behind the teleporter as much as possible.

3) Camp! Camp! Camp!

The last two may not ensure victory, but it may cause your opponents to retire early!
