interpretations
I don't know if you intended this as a metaphor for missing out on real life from playing video games, but through that state of mind the story becomes very touching. Especially since i was so drawn in to the video from the beginning having just finished a halo session myself (after my friends had gone to bed) I think of my sister upstairs and how i've been neglecting her to play xbox all day.
At the very least, you've made me have to stop and think; which is something that i rarely find myself doing anymore and that in itself is an achievement greater than any you can find in a game. Very well done.
