This just in… the final person in the world to play Halo has succeeded in beating the game.

And get this – she beat the final run in the Warthog on her second go. It wasn’t pretty, but she did it. Erin has found Halo to be a highly fun and addicting game despite several years of completely ignoring it. She’s watched me drive over an hour each way to stand in line for 5 hours to buy the game at midnight on the eve of it’s release. She’s watched me spend hundreds of hoursover the last 8 years playing team death-match online. But until now, she has found no interest in any game in the series.

When I say ‘until now’, I mean she’s gone off the deep end. This was illustrated by the excessively late bedtime of 4:50 am Sunday morning. Or me catching her replacing Halo 2 with Halo 1 and playing it on legendary.

Dear Bungee, you’ve created a monster. A tardy one, but a monster no less.
