Morning Discussion

How is everyone doing today? I zonked out a bit early last night, still trying to get rid of whatever is going around. Busy day though, with Rocket Race enthusiasm bringing it into mainstream Halo 3. I wonder how people will react? Probably just like they mistreat Oddball with vetoes. :( Don't they know it's only the best melee weapon? Poor Skulley. Still more stuff to bring together this morning, but I think we'll run a contest in the chatty today too. We have two copies of Gears of War PC, courtesy of Microsoft and Epic. In order to qualify, post your best co-op gaming story in this thread, and we'll post winners tomorrow.
