Foo Mo sez “I’m Easy!”

With a keen eye and ever-sarcastic gaze, the folks over at Sarcastic Gamer have just discovered a stunning, earth-shattering truth about our great leader, Foo Mo Jive.

He plays Halo 3 on Easy. Yeah, really.

Also known as Baby Mode, or in the parlance of the streets, Sucka Mode. Yeah, REALLY.

Why, you ask? Well, as far as the rest of us at Podtacular headquarters know, he was probably just looking to boost his ‘cheevo score and find some skulls buried deep in the bowels of the Cortana level (who knows what’s up in there) but we all know that there’s no acceptable reason to be playing Halo 3 on Easy. Not unless you’re going head-to-head with Mr. T, Chuck Norris and Ahnuld all at once and the only way to escape with your life is to start up campaign in true sissy fashion. Even then, it might be best to take the pummeling and at least go out like a man.

Either way, here’s hoping that one Mr. Foo Mo Jive can show his face and we can all rest easy that this was just a case of mistaken identity, or some other semi-believable circumstance that would keep the world from collapsing upon itself. Please?
