I refuse to buy into Hypo 3. There's been something about the stereotypical Halo player that's really put me off. Possibly their self perceived leetness. And there were all those Halo videos being made a couple of years ago that really weren't funny at all. Like the guy that "fell asleep" while playing and they were all laughing at him. Lame.
Perfect summary of why I don't like Halo. I couldn't say it any better.
