Yeah, you wish.
Never played against you, but anytime you want, just tell me.

I wonder how many different people an average human actually sees in a lifetime. Its probably around 500,000 (rural and city dwellers combined)

Stories like these make me wonder how much virtual blood is on my hand. From stomping on Gombas to taking out PMC Soldiers, I imagine I've done in 100-200k.

Ohh wise Fossil, please grant me the powers of foresight so that I too may one day be able to put down video games that are still months from release.

meh, me and 2 or 3 friends have easily killed millions of bots in Perfect Dark multiplayer, playing it for hours on end every weekend night when we were younger. If 3 or 4 can kill that much, billions isn't such a big number

The way things are going in the world, I'm afraid that figures is going to get easier and easier to cross.

Sorry Mr. Nimblewick but barring a nuclear holocaust, natural disaster of epic proportions or (the most unlikely of all) a new-found sense of sexual responsibility, that's very unlikely. We have way too many pussies out there masquerading as parents that won't teach their kids that getting knocked-up isn't okay. Unfortunately, the movie "Idiocracy" is probably the most accurate depiction of what our future will look like. I sympathize with your obvious humanitarian sentiments, I do, but our prowess at killing each other is only superseded by our tendency to stick our dicks in something for an average of 3 minutes.

Also, it's always easier to kill than to have a baby.

3 Minutes? What about the so-called "players"?
These guys can nail 5 chicks within 3 minutes.

That'd be about 125 Billion. Even more than that if you were to count Neanderthals, who I'm sure were all wiped out by Master Chief himself.

There's never been enough gas for everyone on the planet. As for food... maybe if grocery stores didn't throw away so much surplus food, and fat-assed westerners shared their food a little more... maybe there'd be enough for everyone.

In the medium term there is always enough food because those who dont have enough either die or dont reproduce (or both).
In fact there is constantly more and more food, that's why there are more and more people. The "not enough food for everybody" idea really refers to unreliable supplies rather than general insufficiency. Its a logistical problem - that's the reason supermarkets throw out food while people starve in China.
Food and humanity are in positive feedback loops - the more of one the more of the other allowing even more of the first.

And to think that's only counting the people who have Xbox live.

The stat is totally irrelevant and this whole article's wash, because your source didn't understand Halo stats and you didn't bother to check up on them. What's worse is other equally 'brilliant' bloggers have linked to this article without checking the veracity... and this is how we live in a world with Bush serving two terms in office.
If you have a means to spread information to the world, by all means, be intelligent and secondly, research your comments before being world famous for poor journalism.
The kills listed are Covenant (NPC's), so in fact NONE of those kills were played by human 360 owners. What's more, none of the NPC's are digitally-reproduced humans. The Covenant are a fictional militaristic and theocratic alliance of ALIEN races who serve as the main antagonistic force in Halo.

This Duhr dud posted the nerdiest comment I've ever read in Joystiq.
(also, you are wrong: they never said it was HUMANS, they say "Enemies KIA", so learn how to read before posting your nerdy comments)
