Halo once more.

HALO WARS

had a taste of the Halo Wars demo for the xbox360. i know i'm a wee bit behind schedule, but budget's been tight, so games aren't a priority right now. however, i must say, halo wars is looking like a good game.

This is a covenant base. the graphics are pretty clean.

videos on youtube and demo gameplay really make me want to get the game, though i think i foresee that the game will have quite a low replayability. lots of scripted events in campaign mode means that playing levels again will result in the exact same game play and outcome.

Notice the Tauren Chieftain and the Brute Chopper

anyway, playing halo wars, with all its references to the original halo series [halo wars is not made by bungie], really makes me want to play halo again. like. i just played through a good half of the halo 3 campaign again on heroic.

and now its like a halo frenzy. i really want to do like a halo marathon [haha, 'marathon']. like halo 1, halo 2, halo 3. see how long it takes. or maybe invite some guys over to co-op. though... i don't have a working copy of halo 1 for the xbox anymore. if anyone has it i'm willing to pay a bit.

tastes

its been awhile. so whats new: nothing. i have not been doing anything much. i just finished harry potter's books 6 and 7, after re-reading books 1-5. its a great series, can't wait for the movie.

Marion's 18 too, and now she's in Spain on holiday. that means i won't be seeing much of her until the 26th, maybe plan something nice on the 27th. haha

i've found a recent gravitation towards blues rock in my musical endeavours, nice 12 bar blues improvisation. with some of my own variations. pretty fun. good stuff.

thats about it for now, till i can think of something special. haha.

p.s there's going to be more posts like this to come.

p.p.s what's xoxo?
