Damn... Halo, Half-Life 2, and then GTA IV all coming out within three weeks of each other.

I'm not a big fan of the new whammy bar animation.

It won't be fully persitent. There will be instanced areas in the game.

Just today they said that the Apple TV would not play games. It was on digg.

I ate the flesh of my enemy, Skullgor. I then washed it down with his own blood, his skull being my chalice.

Anyone can download this from September 22-24. Then, after that, you'll have to buy Guild Wars. No monthy fee, either.

I probably won't be playing this, because 1) Everyone will be saying "oHW DU U DANS" and "D00D WUT I DOO NOW", and 2) It seems like 1/3 of the game will be playable, and the story mode is really only fun once. After that, you just play it again to help other people out or to farm. Then, you PvP.

Halo 3 will not be the last Halo - it's too popular for that.

A fellow Nebraskan who doesn't love football?

Such a travesty hath never occured!

I live in Nebraska...

I feel ashamed now.

What sucks is that according to EB Games and Gamestop, if you want the preorder bonus, you'll have to pay $5 extra. It also doesn't look like you'll be able to get the bonus if you preorder the Collector's Edition.

Oh, and to you people who think that having extra expansions means we are paying a secret fee, you're wrong. With Guild Wars, you can buy just one game, and play it forever and never pay another dime. With a game like WoW, you can buy the main game, and play it forever, but you would still have to pay $15 a month.
