Your fingers dont ache after playing 10hrs or more...? Incredible..., usually my fingers ache after playing only 2 hrs..., but the mouse..., even if I continue clicking for 12 hrs... I never feel any single ache in my fingers... anyway...

WHOA!!! nice info about Halo 2 though..., I will be expecting that...
