Before I get going here, please realize that this is intended for comedic purposes, and in no way represents my actual views on terrorism, illegal activities, or our government.
Alright, now that we have that out of the way, let’s talk. The USA PATRIOT Act allows the government to monitor phone calls in order to help [...]

I did it. I have finished the fight. Halo 3, released September 25th, 2007 was completed by yours truly, that same day, in one sitting lasting 7.5 hours. My friend asked me, “How did you like it? Give me a 2 minute review.” Here it is.

I promised I would film the events at the Halo 3 release taking place at my local Gamestop, but I lied. I had every intention to do so, but I learned that my video camera didn’t feel like working too late to make any late plans to get a replacement. My apologies. Luckily I had [...]

Here it is. The beginning of the end. In only hours I will be finding myself in line amongst thousands of fellow gamers, all salivating at the idea of getting our hands on the latest, and probably last release, in the Halo series. Reviews have all give Halo 3 the green light, thumbs up, and [...]

I was driving down the road the other night, and as I did I thought back to something that had happened earlier that day. It was something which was great. Some might even call it phenomenal. “That is so phenom!” I thought. Then it hit me like a bag of cement. That is possibly the [...]

With Halo 3, unarguably the biggest title to release this year, releasing in under one week, the air is a bit more sweaty and pungent then usual. This is the smell of sweet nerd-citement. Where will you be, and who will you be with. What will you do that will make this game’s release all [...]

It looks like I’ve failed at saving the world again. Just as I imagined, no one will really see the letter I sent to Microsoft, and the fact is, even if they did read it, nothing would be done. It’s not like I am informing them of their poor service. They are already fully aware. [...]
