I started playing with Halo 3 when I first got a shared Xbox 360 with my brother. Up until then I had never even known who Master Chief was. But since I love cool armors, I instantly fell in love with the Spartans. I went back and played Halo CE and Halo 2 after I beat Halo 3, so I started thinking I liked shooters. I appear to have been wrong, because CoD only led to frustrations after a few days of playing. Kill Zone and Resistance didn't do it for me either after I got my PS3. In fact, only Gears 3 comes even close to Halo for me, and part of that reason is because I can put a rainbow skin on my guns. I just don't get into shooters like I do other games, and Halo's rich universe and beautiful appearance are really what allowed me to get into the game play.
I started collecting the toy line by McFarlane with a series 1 Master Chief, and that toy is still my favorite toy ever, even though he doesn't fit in with the new Reach scale. In fact, he looks like a girl next to the new scale Master Chiefs that just came out.
Fanboy Extremists: You know the kind (This includes girls too if they do it--I've just never met a girl who has).
System types: The Xbox ones call the PS3 and Wii stupid but never seem to have a reason besides they only own an Xbox. PS3 ones call the Xbox and Wii stupid but never seem to have a reason besides they only own a PS3. I've never ran into Wii fanboys.
Game Types: Saying one shooter is stupid because it's not another shooter. For example: "Halo sucks, CoD is amazing. That's just how it is."
Zombies: the undead creatures, not the game type.
Spiders: I know they serve a purpose, but they way they move creeps me out.
