Football and Halo in Texas
Heh - in an article from the Houston Chronicle's Sports 2 section front page last Sunday, tossed into the middle of a pretty funny discussion of what happens when real-life football players run up against their electronic doppelgangers is a tidbit of Halo goodness.
On the other side of the room, a group of offensive linemen were involved in a four-player game of Halo, the most popular game in the locker room next to Madden. The game involves the deployment of a cyber-enhanced soldier whose mission is to keep a threatening alien race from Earth.
"I can't believe I killed myself," McKinney yells.
"I survived that crash?" guard/center Chad Overhauser says.
The game gained popularity among the Texans during training camp, when tackle Jimmy Herndon and Chad Overhauser brought an X-box to training camp.
Better believe it - athletes know where the REAL competition is. :) (Thanks to Alex "Atoyot" Philips for the heads-up.) (Louis Wu 10:06:46 UTC)
