Well - DOA, we do have Cools around, I just don't know what she is and isn't allowed to do anymore lool.
Also, you know I have a game night every thursday night - if you want to get into SC or SSBM, that'd be the place for that.
Halo - man that's scary. lol

If you want to get into anything competitive - right now is kinda a odd time; all 3 games mentioned, other than DOA, are waiting on their new version. So it's a odd time for competition. HOWEVER - it's also a good time to get in and get the basics down, so that you have less of a learning curve later.
Do you like one on one strat? Shooters? Do you prefer to be doing something all the time, or do you want patience and long term strat rewarded? Fighting games are about breaking down your opponent my friend, and that's not a 'fast' thing in all cases. Halo - is FAST FAST FAST - but no patience really to it; making it ADD compliant -_-
I LOVE strategy. But there's no setting up that in Halo - sure it's there, but it's ALL on the fly and for the most part short term feeling. Fighting games - you have as much strategy as you need to overtake your opponent in each game, and then must have a over-arching plan to maintain that lead over as many games as you play... I can rant on and on about philosophies on fighters if you go that route, trust me
