Excerpt from a conversation that Patrick and I had on facebook:
Patrick: I pre-ordered Halo CE: Anniversary from Amazon... [blahblah about the package being late not important]
Kelly: The only reason I can think that you would actually get that is cause your an achievement whore. I mean, the campaign is awful.
I guess you at least have good multiplayer to look forward to. Can you play online?
Patrick: Unfortunately, the multiplayer is Reach's with Halo CE maps (the maps are also available to Reach owners via DLC for $15). I love campaign, despite it's flaws. It brings back memories and gives me a chance to earn achievements for one of my favorite FPSes.
Kelly: Wow, you could have saved a ton of money and shelf space and just bought the DLC. I am sorry, the campaign would be the worst thing ever if Halo 2 hadn't happened.
Patrick: Dude, it's fun. I like it. It's not like I spent $60 on a MW2 Map Pack. You like colorful ponies. Shush.
Kelly: But the Ponies bring happiness into the world, unlike Halo's campaign, which only brings pain.
Patrick: Halo's campaign brought substance and plot to an otherwise mindless genre.
Kelly: Too bad they didn't back that up with a campaign that was fun to play.
Patrick: Go play with your dolls.
Kelly: I will. Lalalalala....
Yeah, I'm gonna file that under "Win for Kelly."

Doooooood.
I'm confused. If it brings Patrick happiness and satisfaction, why do you want to rain on his parade? Just because you don't like it means he shouldn't?
Cause it's funny.
If Patrick likes the first Halo, that is fine. I'm not about to claim that I have the highest standards, as I like some pretty awful stuff myself.
As you saw, Patrick picked on me for liking My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, but it's cool. I'm not going to get upset that someone doesn't like something that I like.
But when it comes to the first Halo's campaign, I'd rather someone crush my nuts. It's over much quicker, and it heals eventually.
When you get up here for Christmas, I'm gonna give you a choice between playing Halo CE's campaign or me crushing your nuts and see which you actually pick.
Challenge accepted.
