Christmas Comes Early
I've always enjoyed the Christmas holiday -but as a gamer, it seems that Christmas is coming a bit early this year.
The console gamer side of me is eagerly awaiting the release of Halo 3 on the 25th. As part of the lead-up to the release, the Halo 3 Online Manual went online - and yep - it's powered by Silverlight. The Halo 3 Video Site has been up for a few weeks now, and it really shows off the hi-fidelity video capabilities of Silverlight on Windows or your Mac. I would imagine that there will be more videos posted there as the countdown to the release progresses.
The PC gamer side of me has already been treated to World in Conflict and is waiting for the release of The Orange Box. I pre-ordered the Orange Box online and have been playing the Team Fortress 2 beta for a few rounds. It's quite fun, but I'm still slower than all of you twitchers out there and still coming up to speed on all the tactics. So if you see "OysterChicken" running around, be kind to the n00b. Now, if you see OysterChicken running around on Battlefield 2... will let's just say I'm not such a n00b in that realm. :)
I can also say that our Silverlight for Mobile planning and early dev work is progressing. More on that... after I spend some time with my early presents :)
