I yelled out in anguish after seeing Cortana die, and when I played Halo Reach, after Jorge died I got mad, after Kat died I really got mad, and after Carter died I went out of my way to kill every single enemy in the game, and after Emile died I really got mad.

Of course, when I played Halo 3, when I got a tank, I just went around killing everyone, and when I yelled out "That was for Jorge!" my friends were like "Dude are you okay?" I blantantly ignored them and went about yelling out "That was for Jorge/Kat/Carter/Emile/Jun/Six" and then I went back to my normal self.
