The Onion | 2004 Election Guide…

Thursday, October 28th, 2004

…I love The Onion.com. For those who are unknowing, The Onion is basically the print version of Comedy Central’s Daily Show (although The Onion has been around far longer). Both media outlets provide highly satirical tounge-in-cheek news stories as if they are real. In The Onion’s case, even the headlines make me laugh out loud […]

Help To Make Life interesting…

Thursday, October 28th, 2004

…I am a big fan of W3Schools.org . It is the Internet education portal for the World Wide Web consortium that is responsible for defining standards or “reccomendations” for web development.

…Some think the Internet is just a place for young horny males, teeny-bopper girls, and eCommerce whores. Sex, fashion, and greed are the words that describe, in a nutshell, what it is to them. Rarely can anyone catch a glimpse of brighter, less self-centered, side of the web.

Monday, October 25th, 2004

…Remember that “leaked trailer” I posted about a few weeks back? Well it wasn’t really leaked exactly. Here is a 640×480 direct-feed Quicktime movie of the new Halo 2 commerical, playing on a television set near you. There are huge spoilers in it for the spoiler straight-edge among you, but I’m not […]

This is not about Halo…

…If you play them on the PC regularly it is quite likely that you use a keyboard and mouse. Some of my friends will kill you if you suggest that there is any other way to play an FPS. However, Halo, one of the great FPSs to come out in the last five […]

Apologies to non-Halo fans…

Wednesday, October 20th, 2004

…Sorry about all the Halo stuff that’s been on the blog lately but it’s pretty much all I do to relax online so it’s usually the first or second thing I think about when I’m posting. That said, heres an interesting tidbit from the Bungie Weekly Update Archives that I think has been slightly […]

Halo 2 leak updates…

Wednesday, October 20th, 2004

…Just a few quick notes to update what I’ve written about the Halo 2 leak.
Apparently, the version that was stolen was the French PAL Build of the game (i.e. the text and speech are in French and it runs on European TVs). It was in a binary format that is used to author DVD […]

Friday, October 15th, 2004

…the good news is that the new Halo 2 site is up and it’s a good mystery. There’s plenty to explore and figure out, all of which (I assume) unlocks some fresh content like screenshots and wallpapers and such. It’s good. In fact, anything that makes the wait for November 9th just […]
