Halo 3 was exactly what I wanted out of the game. In the final chapter of the game you contain the parasitic fungal organism known as the Flood, destroy the genocidal Covenant empire, and save humanity one final time. But what was more important to me, however, was the emphasis on characters. This brought the game down to a more personal level ( Read more... )

Alrighty. The IR Job Fair landed me a couple of interviews. I'll probably be hearing back from some folks in a couple weeks. GM is up in the air right now because their website sucks big time ( Read more... )

Oh yeah...

The needler is finally a real weapon.  I was being shot at with one and I thought, "What is this idiot doing?"  Then I died.  Later on I tried it out for myself.  Given the right conditions (medium range, target not running perpendicular to you), I'd take it over the AR.
