PS4 Headset, Zombies in Spaceland and Halo Training

I had a cool PS4 headset, with 360 degree of surround sound in university, and my big 55" 4k display

So I was up all night, not to get lucky, just to play video games

And I could hear them, when they'd try sneak up on me

I played with Jonathan Page, that Zombies in Spaceland

He was very good at it

My flatmates would verbally comment I'd scream like a lot

But really, it was just zombies

: )

I am now, very well trained

And, if

You pick me, for your Zombie Survival Team:

I won't scream

Because of that training

And also

I played too much Halo growing up

I'm not afraid of no covenants, elites, brutes, grunts, jackals, hunters, and sure as heck no prophets

Regret, Truth, Mercy

Hehehheehe

***

I have outgrown video games though

I don't play them

***

Even if I'm 31:

I have enough propaganda on here to win for decades

Halo 3’s “Starry Night” Ad and Childhood Adventure

1. This is the most powerful ad, in my life

Because I saw myself as that kid looking up at the night sky

2. Would be, the Munchee Lemon Puff ad, with the Navy boss in SL

3. Anheuser Busch beer commercial, of how they started out

I love this Halo 3 ad

It's just so beautiful

Bill Gates, the Bungie Team, they gave me a childhood, where I could save the whole universe with my friends, and Cortana, my AI

I love that, that's the best part of my life, that sense of adventure
