I have an embarressing problem, and I am writing this letter cos I'm wondering if anyone else 'out there' in the world of gaming suffers from the same thing.
It's concerning one game in particular, and the game in question is Halo. I've got a MAJOR problem with it.
Please don't laugh, but.... this is difficult.... every time I play the level where the Flood attacks for the first time I.... ahem.... I *cough*.... I soil my trousers.
There, I've said it!
I CACK MY STRIDES GODAMMIT! And it's beginning to really get on me down!
After the transmission bit when you see what the soliders who went in before you saw, and the Flood starts spewing out of the holes in the walls like the evil dirty slugs from Hell that they are, it always happens: my bowels give way and.... well, the result is always the same - brown stuff where I want it least!
I can't understand why it happens to me?!? I'm the captain of the rugby team at school and normally I'm a tuff cookie, but when I see the Flood coming, I just turn to jelly and my underpants are visited by an unwanted guest.
I've tried to delve into my past experiences to see if I can pinpoint why I fear those little floor-sliding beasties so much, but I always draw a blank. I mean, it's not common for someone to have a 2ft slug leap at their face is it!
It's got so bad that I can't play Halo anymore, and it's my favourite Xbox game.
Does anyone else suffer from this affliction - whether on Halo or on any other game? And if so, how did you overcome it.
I'm seriously thinking about going to see my Doc, but I'm too embarressed.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Thanx,
Timmy Partington, aged 14 from Surrey.

You owe me 25pence for using it.
I hate that feeling when you like a game, but some thing holds you back from playing it.
It's a freak of nature I tells ya

I don't think the original post is meant to be taken seriously. It's a spoof.
Nothing scary about that.

Maybe not for you, but for Timmy Partington from Surrey - it's soil his longjohns time.
People don't think I'm serious with this post do they??
