My attempts to quell my fear of the Flood when I was little. I would steel myself and make it a couple of checkpoints through Sacred Icon before I chickened out. But the Hive are different-that element of fear is gone. Maybe it's because I'm older, maybe it's because aliens don't have the same creepy factor as zombies. Either way, I can't get enough of wading through Hive sludge and fending off endless waves of Thrall! Thanks Bungie, for making the best games- the ones you can play forever.
