If you can get away with it, now that�s a different story, yes its true that we have been accused of killing with no regard to who was in the way, but someone got the person they needed to kill didn�t they. But that�s not the reason Kricket or anyone else for that matter gets there bloody kill on. You know why?!!! Because they are there, they just happen to be in the right place at the wrong time, and the most important reason is - �I get to brag about putting a plasma grenade on your back�. What would you do if you were the one shooting, and not the one running? For example, I�m running up the middle of hang-em high, (you know the board with the wide-open space). And I�m not it, did you here me? I�M NOT IT. And out of nowhere BAM five rockets hit me and send my body into orbit. After that you say,� why did you kill me, I wasn�t it�, or my all time favorite �I�ll be back in five seconds�. You ask yourself does it matter who it was in the first place. Of course it doesn�t it. It would be easier to just say, �Uhh o-yeah I killed you. But I could not help it; I did it because you were there. I was helping you get closer to god. You know stuff like that. I can�t count all the times this has happens, and not only to me, ask Steven wisdom about this one (ha ha ha). It�s not only funny but the one person who is it�is still it; I just don�t understand it all. Well I do get it because I am part of the problem.
I would like to state for the record that: �I Michael Reed will never understand why people play games and get so damn mad that they break there controller�, or quit (so what I stopped playing Mechassault...I�m better now) talk about my momma, call me names and stuff. Yeah it�s funny but damn, here�s another example.
Example two: let me tell you about this guy named Dave; Lets call him fodder from now on. He told Ryan and a bunch of us �Yeah Kricket I just got an xbox and halo, after I saw the commercial I just had to have it�. �Really�, we said with sheepish grins. �Yeah and I know you have it, we should play sometime�, Dave said. Hmmm yes we should. We then sent him home to go and get his gear, (big mistake � for him). I can�t remember how long ago that was but let me put it this way, I don�t think my son was born yet and he�s 18 months now. One word of advice is PRACTICE. Practice before you tell me you got game. It was so bad that people felt sorry for him. �You know he doesn�t have any kills yet�. �Really?� �Yeah, I don�t want to kill him anymore�, I know how you feel, �but it�s just so damn easy�. Yeah I was thinking I would let him kill me to get on the board. Oops, too late Ryan killed him again. It was the funniest thing I ever heard. Pow, ah s#!t, ha ha ha said Ryan. Pow gat damm-it. Hehehe said Kricket. Crack! Holy s#!t, dude you need to play the single player game said Aaron. And this went on for a good 3 hrs. It was so bad Fodder didn�t say much else aside from damn, s#!t, what the--, or my all time favorite �you guys are picking on me�. No were not, well maybe Ryan is and you know how he plays.
After giving it some thought I think I know the reason we backstab, make false alliances, and just all out lie, it�s a game and its fun to deceive your friends. Now Aaron and me go back Way back and I would not betray him, and I know in a team game he�s got my back like I got his. Although in a singe player game it�s a different story. I would not except my own mother to show favoritism toward me in a game of halo, so why would this come up in any other game. Because other people do it. But its cool, I don�t have a problem with it. Yeah I really don�t, I like the team play aspect of the game - when we get to play them. My grandfather told me along time ago that �in life you do what ever it takes to win�. And if I have to snipe, grenade, use a tank, and keep all the invisible orbs to win, then I want to win and I�m willing to do what it takes. Hey what�s that on you back (ha ha ha) it�s a cold color blue.
