I was updating my card details on my Xbox Live account (the card I used ran out in September and I want everything set up properly for the 360 transfer next month) and while the Xbox was on for the first time in weeks I thought I might as well play some Halo 2.

Oh Lord, I’d forgotten how much fun it is. I mean, I’m not good. I normally come one place from the bottom in any match I play, seemingly. I’m a bit rubbish. But it’s still so much fun. SO. MUCH. FUN. IN CAPS AND EVERYTHING.

I even did a round on my least favourite map (the one with the train) with my least favourite weapons (sniper rifles) and I still had massive amounts of fun. It’s nothing complicated. I just do Quick Match Rumble Pit games which are generally just about running around shooting everyone else. I don’t do team games or anything with people I don’t know. I just run around the same old places doing the same old thing. Over and over again.

And it’s great.
