Everybody gets 1

So, I biked to my car and then drove over to the apartment of a new friend of mine named John Detty. He's a transfer student. I am a gamer for life and it turns out he too claims to be an avid player of video games, so we decided to have a get together one afternoon and play some games. I've only hung out with him in person a couple times, so it was sort of awkward and we were both ready to test each other out and see how we compared in skill. We only played to games - the first was Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I knew that he'd played Melee before for the gamecube, but I could smell that he wasn't going to be good enough to beat me (not that I'm above average, but I am competent) and he couldn't. So then we switched over to Halo 2 and he said something like, "and now it's time for my revenge." Ooooooo that was a mistake. Now it's true that I don't play alot of Halo 2, but a real gamer can pick up skills he's learned from other games and transfer them over (within the same genre of gaming). Now most of my first-person shooter experiences have been on pc and this one was xbox, but that's just a minor obstacle. So we began, and he was ahead of me for awhile. This is for two reasons - 1, he was used to the game whereas it was fairly foreign to me (hadn't played it in half a yea atleast) and 2, he knew where the two really really good weapons were (weapons like this are called "noob cannons" because they are extremely powerful yet very easy to use, so that any newbie can pick them up and have a chance against even decent players - in other words, they are cheap) and he got them immediately and started destroying me. It got to the point where the score was like 23 - 10 in his favor. At this point I had had enough, so I made my come back. Sometimes I used those weapons, and other times I just used crappy weapons and pure skill.
