Jeremy buys new video game systems, continues pwning n00bs, and recalls the events of his near pwned experience.

Jeremy and Anastasia disagree about how important gaming is in their lives.

Jeremy excitedly prepares for the release of Halo 3 in his apartment. When purchasing the game, he encounters Terrence "T-Bag" Brown, a professional Halo player, who invites Jeremy to his weekend launch party.

T-Bag advises Jeremy about his lack of sponsors, telling him that he should stick to a single game in order to earn money. Jeremy cites Teh_Masterer's quote, "If one wants to truly pwn, one must pwn at all games," but T-Bag disagrees.

Jeremy's behavior causes conflicts with his friends.

Jeremy, depressed and confused, finds out where things stand.
