Halo 3. Obviously. Ideally, I'd like to finish the single-player, but I might

matches, but the wife says playing games whilst she's in the room is rude,
or something.

My wife likes it when I play online, because she still has tech-awe at
hearing the voices of real live people coming out of the TV while I'm
playing a game.

I strongly suspect Naomi still believes technology is a form of witchcraft. I
caught her re-typing a printed document for use in school last night; five
minutes later, having introduced her to the concept of OCR, she's decided she
doesn't like it because even though it saves her about an hour per page, it's
"too complicated" and she'd rather just retype everything in Word. Naturally,
as an engineer, I find this monumentally bewildering and incredible frustrating
to watch.

She also has serious trouble with the idea that I play games because I actually
like playing games, not because I'm bored.
