I have a theory...

That Microsoft sucks at making consoles that don't break.

Infinite Shelled Things

And now for something entirely different. Halo 3: ODST has been almost fully unveiled, look for it on September 22. The hype hammer is just about in full swing.

Check here for info: http://www.bungie.net/Projects/ODST/default.aspx.

Also, check out Them Crooked Vultures, the best thing ever. It's a band, with Dave Grohl, Josh Homme, and John Paul Jones. http://www.themcrookedvultures.com.

Happy 233rd Birthday America

E3ish

Well, it's that time of year again, and just in case you aren't keeping up and happen to be reading this particular blog, you're in luck! Today you'll find out that there is a new Halo 3: ODST trailer out, showing off new characters, weapons, and a brief shot of a new gameplay mode, Firefight. They didn't say much about that. Anyway, there is also a new Halo game coming out, called...

Halo: Reach! I can't wait for this one. In this, you will, apparently, get to relive the Fall of Reach, the battle just before Halo 1 where all the Spartans (supposedly) died. If Chief and his fellow super-soldiers are Spartans, then this battle is their Thermopylae (like 300, for those who don't know Greek history).

Here's ODST

Here's Reach

Beware the mist.

X-men Origins: Wolverine the Video Game

This game rocks. A lot.

Edit: After beating this game, I can say with all assuredness that this is the best movie game ever made. Ever. The movie was good, but this is better. If you want to be amazed and have an evisceratingly good time, I recommend this game. Unfortunately, it is too late to get the weapon-X arena bonus, but the game is still great without it. 9/10. Read the movie review here.

Quick update 4-13-09

It's snowing in April. The pirates got pwned by the Navy. There's a new Zelda game, something about a sky train. Same "Wind-Waker" guy. Gettin' tired of that. Oh well. Foo Fighters rule; they are releasing a "greatest hits" album this year. Beware the mist. Krakenkiller out.

Set Sail for Fail!

For the first time in 200 years, a ship flying the American flag was seized by pirates. This just shows how far this pirate problem has gone. The crew fought and took back the ship, but the captain is still a captive of the Somali pirates. 

Now is a great time for mercenaries and bounty hunters, with these nebulous enemies, the government wants deniable assets to take down ringleaders who are hiding in areas where a full military assault might not be wise. So, if any of you are considering being a Mattias Nilson or a Boba Fett, now's the time; especially with the "rewards for justice" the U.S. govt. has going.
