Well, another awesome Halo LAN party is in the books, and I think it's safe to say this was the best one yet. Read more

Work takes me to the land of the even dollar this week. I'll be spending 5 days in the US. At the same time I'm considering purchasing an XBOX. It looks like the prices maybe up to $50 cheaper then in Canada, which would leave the Halo Edition at around $399.

Does anyone know if there are any concern with Warrenties if I purchase one from the US and tried to have it fixed in Canada. (We know Xbox's never need warrenty work). Read more

Eric is an old man now. Did he atleast have a sweet gaming session in order to celebrate the occation?

The whole herd is at Coxxorz playing Halo 3. Good for them; who needs them anyways. I can make my own fun.... here... all alone... with this pen... and calculator ... and dust bunnies... -sigh-

One more load of wash to do.

-sigh-

I guess I have to move some stuff downstairs for the party tomorrow....

-sigh-


Who needs them anyways....

With this exact author as a matter of fact...

From Real Life Comics.

This is the one instance that I didn't give him book 3 of an impossible to find, low print run, really bad SciFi series.

I must be missing something.

I arrived home yesterday, after picking up my new car (yay!) to find Halo 3 waiting for me. I proceeded to tell everyone else to go away and leave me alone as I sat down to play the much anticipated game.

And I was severely disappointed. Read more

Don't know if we want to bother but it's probably not a bad idea to settle on a standard emblem and service tags.

Here's how to make what we are using so far.

There is a Tomcat icon near the bottom of the selection list. Select this and colour it orange (Emblem primary - 3 down, 2 across).

Pick the cowboy hat from the backgrounds and colour it a red (Emblem background - 2 down, 1 across). Will correct this once I am in the game again.

Use the X button to Toggle Icon and get rid of the stupid bow tie, and you are good to go (this means emblem secondary colour doesn't matter. Read more

That's right, pay just $39 when you order online at Dell. No need to deal with pesky humans! But for those who don't mind braving the unclean hordes, you could get it for $36.90 by price-matching Dell in-store at Best Buy or Future Shop.

If you do buy online from Dell, make sure you sign up with EBATES first, you'll get a $5 signup bonus, and an extra 1% off your orders (2% or more off computer systems).

I know that HoC is about gaming, but what the hell...

So, I viewed the season opener of Heroes on Monday, and I must say that I am looking forward to the rest of the season. As everyone remembers, the ending of the last season kinda sucked hairy balls.... But if they pull their heads out of their asses, they can use this season to explain and refurb a lot of the goofs they did in that episode.

The rest of this post has spoilers.... Read more

For not yet receiving his copy of Halo 3. (sniff)

Hopefully today ...

Actually, it's kind of sad. I am picking up my new car today, but all I am really hoping is that Halo 3 is in the mailbox. Sad, sad, sad.

I have been trying to finish up Overlord before Halo 3 arrives. Unfortunately, this is one freaking long and convoluted game! I spent yesterday fighting Dune worms. There is only one way to kill them and yes, it is time consuming and involved.

So, since it isn't obvious, but necessary for the story, I am issuing a spoiler alert. If you want to keep reading, scroll down. Read more
