Fun at Work

So tonight at McDonald's (yea, yea. I know already) I decided to mess with a coworker. He was listening to a local station, 105.3 FM, and I grabbed my PSP then set it to loop Venga Boys - Boom Boom Boom. With that all set up, I popped in my slightly modified FM Modulator and set it to 105.3 then with the gator clip that I use to extend the antenna...I walked right by the radio and it switched over to my techno. Needless to say this pissed off my coworker to no end.

I toyed with him the entire time we were closing the store with my PSP nestled nicely in my pocket. Everyone in the store knew what was going on but him and he beat the crap out of the radio by the night's end. I had my manager doubled over in hysterical laughter for about five minutes straight.

I did tell him before we left what I did and he was pissed off for awhile but he got over it and said it felt good to release some anger on a poor innocent electronic. I laughed at him for part of the way home as I followed him since we live about eight blocks apart. This is one joke I will keep in my book of tricks for the future. :P

Halo 3

Well then, I know it has been a bit late for me to post something up but I doubt there are any readers of this blog as of yet. Disregarding that, Halo 3 turned out to be an interesting game alright. Finished up the story, had an ending that was split into three parts: one for completing on Easy, an extra scene was added if you finished it on Normal or above, and finally there was yet another scene added for beating it on Legendary.

I wont spoil the ending for those of you who haven't played...I'll leave that to the people on Youtube. Seriously though, there are several videos that show you the ending. But if you don't want to watch those...go watch the ending to Portal from The Orange Box...I'll wait right here for you to be able to breathe again :P Jonathan Coultan at his best if you ask me.

The game is everything that you'd expect it to be. Pretty and fast paced but with a hint of awesomeness in the fact it automatically saves videos of recent games played. Now you can really talk crap on that guy you stuck from across the map since you can go back and watch it in, yup you guessed it, slo-mo.

The Forge added a much needed multiplayer element to the game, the ability to customize maps is just what this game needs to be playable for the thousandth time on Xbox Live. Hell, thanks to a buddy of mine (just met him so really don't know him too well) Pink Shade, I have two really fucking cool maps that I downloaded from him.

Xbox Live gold membership also comes with the File Share ability on Halo 3. This allows you to put up to eight files ranging from maps, videos, game varients, and saved pictures. You can extend this to I think twenty if you go get the Bungie Pro membership. I really haven't looked into that much. The cool thing about this is you can go on Bungie.net and find files you want to download then set them to download the next time you log onto Live while in Halo 3. This is how I have all of the Canvas maps, they are a copy of all the maps but with everything completely removed from them so it is like starting Forge with a clean slate.

Well, that about covers everything without going too far into detail about the story. Halo 3 is definitely a fun game and I give it my recommendation so go out and play it. Game on, gamers.
