Tempted by Halo

I'm tempted to blow off work for the rest of the week and spend the time playing Halo 2. It's that compelling. I don't know why I want to do it. Is it just because everyone else is doing it? I don't even own an XBox. Now that's a startling revelation. Read More...

Halo, can you hear me now?

I played my first game of Halo last night. Not Halo 2 mind you, the developers only just finished that up recently and while I might technically be an 'insider' I haven't had access to any pre release versions of that one. I'm talking about the bona-fide Read More...

Cheat Codes

Betsy and I were playing Neverwinter again a few nights ago. We were having trouble with some metal behemoths. It seems our tactics and weapons were having no effect. We would have had a better weapon, but it was accidentally sold at the last merchant Read More...

Reality Check
