So sad to see no excitement for Halo 4 around the web. Has it really come to this, is Halo no longer that giant monster.

I just arrived in some small town in the middle of florida. As I am driving I come across a sign for a mall, and you know these things have logos for the shops in the mall. Well this had GS but also had a message under it that said MIDNIGHT OPENING HALO 4. I have never in my life seen a GS get a message on a sign like that. That was put there just to spite me.

Master Chief delivers bizarre on-stage presentation at launch of Xbox in Israel

Microsoft has announced the Xbox 360 will launch in Israel seven years after it released in the US.


The console launches in Israel on 21st November, Microsoft announced at its Discovery conference in Tel Aviv yesterday. It comes complete with the Hebrew language, support for local currency, Xbox Live and Kinect.


The announcement was accompanied by a bizarre on-stage appearance by Halo 4 star Master Chief, videoed by attendees and slapped on YouTube.


In a somewhat creepy voice Master Chief tells Israelis he came to “your amazing country to launch the best game ever in the history of human kind, Halo 4, starring the one and only myself”.


“So don't waste your time on girly games and do the right thing. It's not going to be easy but it's going to be a lot of fun.


“See you soon Israelis. See you soon Israelis.”


The news comes days after it emerged that Sony had gained approval to launch the PlayStation 3 in China, a country where games consoles are technically illegal.


Authorities granted the PS3 a "China Compulsory Certificate" in July, although the machine has yet to formally materialise. Sony first launched the PlayStation 3 in Japan nearly six years ago.

I just got back with Halo 4, and I think I have to confirm an annoying new trend in the games industry to those of you who have Resident Evil 6:

Halo 4 also has no fucking instruction manual! The 2nd high profile game in the past month with no manual...all it has is an Xbox Live Trial slip & the background of the case has photosensitive warnings. Is this an industry wide practice that has taken affect suddenly? 2 big games from 2 completely different companies suddenly have no manuals?

Fucking lame.

Granted, I never really look at the instruction manuals to actually READ things, unless its a very complicated game. But I just like having nice looking manuals with cool pics in them that look well done...it just makes the whole thing seem like it has more effort behind it.

Though I guess it could be an improvement over the gigantic manuals with 10 different languages in them that Nintendo has been using the past 6 years.

If a game is done right it doesn't need a manual, but most games have little quirks they forget to tell you which you only find out when you read the manual.

Happy voting day Americans!

On this day they like to pretend that your vote actually matters. It doesn't.

Voting is useless.

I say if you vote, you have no right to complain!

Around 9 is solid now?! God damn you guys are though to please.
