Halo 3 On The Big Screen
Portland keeps giving me reasons to visit. With Chris freshly tattooed in Seattle's mongoloid clone of a city and the recent H.P. Lovecraft film festival I had assumed Portland had used up it's reserves of cool and interesting things to do. Apparently not so.
This Thursday Portland is hosting a Halo 3 tournament of sorts. Two 50 feet hi-def video screens are at the ready for all your Halo 3 needs, and regardless of your take on the Halo franchise, playing any first person shooter on a 50 foot high definition screen is bound to be fun. However, even if you think Halo 3 sucks I'm sure you'll agree that diabetes sucks more, which is simply another fantastic reason to attend. All the proceeds from the event will be donated to the America Diabetes Association. If that isn't enough to entice, think of all the horrible played out Wilford Brimley jokes you'd miss out on by not attending. Stab the jump like an insulin needle for the full invite.
Help support the site by purchasing your copy of Halo 3 from our store!
