Small controllers.
Myself, I use the original size.
The XBOX was the first console with controllers that fit my massive freak hands.
As for this. Yeah I'm in. it will be the first game I actually played on live since the beta test. . .
(vortech is the tag)

Fellow Beekeepers... I need your advice. I have VERY little mula and can't get a job. What would be the best(cheapest) plan in getting xboxlive? also
I have 2 other brothers and one xbox, how many accounts do you get? I really want to be in this clan but they (my brothers) don't (they never got involved in ilovebees in enough time to understand it all).
I probably will eventually get XBL and join the clan so put me down. If I end up changeing my name from what it is now then I'll let you know once I join, otherwise put me down for the name: Wainamoinen
Is there a clan cpt.? Is he makeing a list?
Dish. Details. Now.

Okay, that's two Xboxes sold by this ARG that I know about. If this is representative, then yes the marketing aspect of this ARG really is working as planned.
w00t! That means more ARGs in the future!
make that 3!
Evil ARGs and the needs they create!
And even worse, I'll have to buy Halo 1 to know what's going on... I've only seen the game on a TV show... I've never played or seen someone playing it! Now I'll have to go on the credit line to make sure I'm up to date on November 9th! BTW, how long should it take me to go through Halo 1 ? The last FPS I played was GoldenEye on N64...!

IIRC, on easy I was able to play through Halo in 6 hours I think it was, and that was running through the game... on normal or harder skills, for the first time playing, it could easily take you a couple days... (not straight of course, that's just crasy! but that would beg a boatload of respect... whoah)

On easy, first time through and having some FPS experience, I'd say ... oh, 6-10 hours.
Records for "legendary" difficulty playing co-op (2 people) are around 2 hours.
Pick up the 3 books too while you're at it. Game should be ~$15-20, books are ~$5 each.

It depends entirely on what difficulty you chooose.
Easy: 6 hours (you can pretty much run right through it)
Normal: 12 hours
Heroic: 24 hours
Legendary: weeks, months, years
(all approximations, of course)
Of course, it also depends onhow much time you take admiring the scenery and storyline.
Goldeneye is a perfectly reasonable training-grounds for Halo.

Interesting to see that we mostly agreed, though.

It took me 2 days (with work and school) you can beat the game on the easist level and get the whole story. Though i know you get a little more on legendary and the ending is a bit different. (just a hint-with missle launcher aim at their feet and in the library Shotgun with flashlight on)

Sorry, no mouse or keyboard.
(But I still think you should try to use the controller!)

Actually there is a ILB Clan beginning right now.
Follow the link in my signature, to the Buingie-7th column ILB chapter.
There you will find the thread to enlist.
Otherwise the "beeKeeper" clan can be joined by E-mailing your gamertag and desired rank to:
incitatusSPLAT hvc.rr.com
I'll be making a new thread to open elistment to UNfiction shortly....
