Happy Halo-days!
Some game came out last night… I wonder if it’s any good.
Seriously, there’s been so much about Halo 3 over the past four days, I decided to seperate it into its own news section. Don’t care about Halo? Then just move on down to normal posts.
- So the bad news is that, thanks to scratched discs, many may be unable to Finish the Fight. Many have taken to returning their valuable and coveted Limited Edition Spartan helmets and other bonuses so they can just have a playable version of the game.
BUT, the need to do so may not be so drastic, provided you are able to be patient. Microsoft is offering free replacement on the discs, good through the end of the year.
Personally? I’d want to hang onto my swag, so this’d be the way to go. I’d just have to keep my ass offline until the game arrived.
- Jack Thompson, Halo 3, right here.
I’d love for this to go somewhere. Preferably that deep, dark place no one should ever go. You don’t spit into the wind, you don’t tug on Superman’s cape, and you probably shouldn’t get into a legal battle with Microsoft, especially when you’re not exactly in the right.
- Loading.Ready.Run. takes a look at Halo: The Future of Gaming, and how it will affect our world in the years to come.
… Dear God…
- A more realistic look at the impact of Halo can be seen in The Halo Effect, a new book that Matt over at Press The Buttons just happens to be giving away in a contest.
Damn, I want to do contests, too. And review DVDs. You’re going to have to share your secrets with me one of these days, man.
- Speaking of journalistic benefits, over at IGN, they also received a messload of Halo 3 goodies… including meatloaf.
Seriously. Go check out the video.
Oh, and for those wondering? The helmet won’t fit cats, dogs, or anyone without a square head.
- Luckily, not everyone’s interested in keeping theirs. Take Joystiq, for example, who are holding one hell of a giveaway.
Sadly, the meatloaf isn’t listed.
- Now this is an awesome case mod, and it’s coming soon to eBay.
- Live-action Halo? Sort of. Check it out, from the Discovery Channel.
- Master Chief is a whore. A product/media whore, that is. That’s why Games Radar saw fit to look at the top 7 Halo cameos, including “Master Chick’s” appearance in Dead or Alive 4.
- Mega64 sees things for what they are. This whole Halo 3 thing? It’s not that good. In fact, for some people, it’s just the opposite.
- Did you know? John P. Harvard was a Spartan. It’s true!
Don’t believe me? See for yourself.
- Albertans are smart, though. They aren’t fooled by all the hype in the world, oh no. They know that if you really want to shoot something, it had better be flesh and breathing.
- As Halo fans go, I like the way this one thinks:
“I want to be buried in it. They’ll dig me up 10,000 years from now and say, ‘He must have been king.’”
- And finally, don’t forget about Geekspeak Radio’s interview with the voice of Master Chief tonight!
