And now, I am angry!
I was having a wander round the video games shops in town today, and to my joy I saw that Halo 2 is on pre-order for the PC.
But that joy turned to sorrow and fury when I saw the words "requires Windows Vista" on the case...
Fork out an extra 100 for an OS that I don't really want as well as the game itself? To heck with that... despite how cumbersome and less convenient it'd be, I'm now feeling very much inclined to go ahead with buying a second-hand X-Box and the game on that now... it'd certainly be a lot cheaper.We ride tornadoes.
