Way into a video game

So, Imagine....
its about 10 oclock at night,
your all alone in your room.
You are laying on your bed, playing HALO in which you have had your butt handed to you about 3 times so far from evil enemy flood who come out of nowhere and attack you.
The only light on in the room is the erie darkish glow from the T.V.
everything else but the game is about a million miles away
"Im gonna make it this time" you say to yourself, "Im gonna kick the floods ass, and enjoy it"
then, suddenly, as quick as a though, a flood jumps down from nowhere and slashes you, your shields are half down, you are ducking and jumping out of the way, another one of his friends join you, DAMN you think, I need a shotgun, I need to find a shotgun, I cant take them down quick enough otherwise.....
you dodge left as a 3rd comes at you shooting a pistol....
crap......
suddenly, your leg starts to spasm in a wierd way...
WHAT THE F$^K you think to yourself as you jump...what just happened?
crap, shields are down to a bare minimum, that distraction cost you....
THERE...THERE IS A SHOTGUN, you pick it up, and turn to face the big brute that just whipped you with its tenticles.....
BUZZZZZZZZZZ
there it is again...WHAT THE F$#K is that?
then you remember, you have a cell phone in your side pants pocket, the one that is located right above your knee, and you are laying down, so the pants are pressed tight around your leg becuase of all the shifting you do while playing....
You die, because of another distraction....

You look at the message, its from Travis...a good friend who moved to Florida with his babe of a wife....
You go online, to say Hi, and chat...
then, thinking, since you just died... again...this is a good time to take a break from HALO2 and have a game of Solitare showdown.
You are denied that little pleasure, because, even though he is married, and lives in Florida, and has a full time job as a web programmer, and goes to school at the same time, plus, has enough time to enjoy a game or 2 of HALO with his buddy from Thunder Bay...he hasnt broken the habit of doing his school work the night before it is due....

so...you take a swig of water, go pee, then prepare for the most difficult challenge you have...getting past that stupid level and destroying as many of the flood as you can!!!

Do you succeed?
Do you do what simple men just cannot do?
YES, you do!!!
and WHY you ask...

because you are ME, Joe, the tenatious, goodlooking, powerhouse of a man.
You actually succeed to about 2 levels after, wondering, HOW LONG IS THIS GAME...
and loving the fact that...it just doesnt end, because greatness like HALO2, shouldnt end...

And so it came to pass, that the Travis was brought to a state of glee by the distraction he was able to empart upon the Joe.

The Travis was crafty in his means of befuddling the Joe, and the Travis saw that this was good, and so the Travis stored this gained knowledge in his grey-matter data center for execution at a later date.
