Heh.
So, I’m playing Halo 3 tonight online and I get paired up with a group and one guy’s name is MACHINEGEWER42. Huh, looks familiar.
A minute or two into the game I hit my mic and ask:
JB: Hey, Machine Gever 42, is that a reference to the German MG42?
MG42: Dude! You’re the first person to get that! Awesome! I bet my cousin would love talking to you.
JB: Ever get to shoot one?
MG42: No.
JB: They’re a blast.
MG42: You’ve shot one?
JB: Yeah, a local range had a machine gun rental day so I put 100 rounds thorugh one once.
MG42: Hey, here’s my cousin.
Cousin: You’ve shot an MG42?!
JB: Yeah, and an M60, an MP5, a Glock 18….
I just spent about an hour and a half playing with those guys. That was fun.
Oh, FYI: My gamertag is GigaBuist if any of you want to team up sometime.
