Shooting in the Dark

Destructoid recently posted a job opening for a paid internship for a video game reviewer. Each applicant is required to make a short 1 minute video about a new game he loved or hated, or on a recent video game topic posted on Destructoid.

Despite high chances of being the one video that the good folks at Destructoid use as the example of what not to do, I decided to enter. I fully expect that I am not they type of person they are looking for.

Because of my non-existent chance of even being considered for the job, I took a bit of artistic liberty with the video requirements and decided to give a little rant about something that has been on my mind for a while.

Since E-3 there have been some journalists praising Bungie for making Halo: Reach cross genre with the inclusion of a Space Combat section. Check out the (shoddy) video here.

Unfortunately, one minute is not nearly long enough for my rambling self to fit in everything I wanted to say on the topic. For example: is the rest of humanity's Armed Forces entirely incompetent? I mean seriously, do we really need a Spartan to do everything? Wouldn't there be, I don't know, PILOTS to do this sort of job. Additionally, do you really expect me to believe that Spartans somehow know how to fly a Space Fighter? That's not something you exactly 'just pick up on' during a weekend class. That's the equivalent of a modern day Navy Seal knowing how to pilot the freaking Space Shuttle.

Just like riding a bike...

Pure Awesome

While stalking, er, 'checking status updates' on Facebook the other day, I ran across the best thing ever conceived of by man.



That's right: MEN IN BELTED SWEATERS. What else could you possibly need. I totally want one. Especially if the sweater comes with those rockin' hats.

On the gaming front, I've been playing a lot of Tactics Ogre lately, in whatever spare time I have. And while I don't have time to go into it now, I will say that, in general, it's been pissing me off.

I'll get something up on the games I've been playing soon, but until then, bask in the glory that is belted sweaters.
