So how come I never met this guy? He lives in Florida, is an FSU fan, a Mac user, and a Halo player. I’m sure we’d get along famously.
My Orlando friends have some ’splainin to do.

Apparently I’ve been living in a cave, because I didn’t know there was a Halo 3 Beta sign-up available for almost a month now.
Thank goodness for Last Boss.

Rannie is coming up on one million visitors and to celebrate, he’s giving away unspecified free stuff.
No word on whether he’s including the Nintendo Wii he got. After all, his sister got one too, so he can play hers.
UPDATE: Put me in for Gears of War. Oh, yeah!

See that chunk of granite? The big one over there with the moss on the north side? That’s where I’ve been living the last few weeks.
More precisely, under it.
Because that’s the only excuse I have for not realizing that, about eleven days ago, Bungie officially announced that they are developing, for 2007 release, [...]

Total Spore has a comprehensive recap of the Spore presentation at E3, with plenty of screenshots, video, new information, and a link to the newly-udated official SPORE site. Check it out.

The big buzz around this year’s upcoming E3 is for a game developed by Electronic Arts‘ Wil Wright called Spore.

Why, in the prime of the pre-holiday gift-buying season, is it still nearly impossible to find an Xbox360? Kotaku has the scoop.
Rumor 1: Last week Microsoft began denying a recall rumor that wasn’t circulating. Many of the blogs run by Msoft employees carried the same sort of denial: Despite what you hear, we’re [...]

Did you feel the pent-up fanboy tension? On November 21, the impending release of the Xbox360 was more eagerly anticipated than Jessica Alba’s first big-screen nude scene. So far, Jessica no plans to give up the goods, but everyone with a Y chromosome knows it’ll be totally awesome when she does.
Compare that thought [...]

My current Xbox has a buggy DVD player - sometimes it will totally fail to load new maps, cut scenes, and so on - mostly with Halo 2. Now, there’s at least one report of a new Xbox360 flaming out and smashing into the barrier wall playing Project Gotham Racing 3. The poor [...]

Another sight ont he way to work today: avid gamers standing in line, waiting for the store to open so they could pick up their shiny new XBox360 systems. The folks I saw apparently weren’t able to find any of the stores that were open at midnight, but at least they got a good [...]
