| Like any other gamer or collector, I take great pride in the preservation of the spoils of war that reside in my Room of Doom. I do not loan out my games to just anyone. I made the unfortunate mistake of including my brother in my extremely limited ‘circle of trust’.
Halo: Combat Evolved was our choice when it came to head-to head battle. After years of beating on him like a farm animal, I reluctantly lent him my copy to allow him time to refine his skills.

I have to admit that my brother used his time wisely when he basically annexed this game from my collection. We eventually fired this up that evening and I received the beating of a lifetime. The can of ‘whop-ass’ my brother released on me dwarfed the abuse that I had once imparted upon him. I did learn some valuable lessons though:
Lesson 1 –> Don’t lend your games to people who share a household with the villains (or like) pictured above.
Lesson 2 –> Beating on your little bro is always fun. Why risk losing that opportunity and loan him a game? |
