Cosmo is a 3-Rotor. Expensive conversion, but very nice!

The main reason I got the Xbox was the first game in the Halo series. I had never been exposed to online gaming, nor had I seen a game so beautifully designed. I was never good, mainly because I didn't play it very much. I got sucked into the hype of the 2nd Halo, bought it, played it online for about a month and then gave up on it....guys who kicked my butt in Halo 1, now only kicked it worse given all the upgrades to weapons and other little gimmicks that they learn through hours and hours of playing. I started to play the 1st player campaign mode, but only got half way through before I was just bored.

I can imagine that my experience with Halo 3 would be much of the same, if not worse.

I am interested in COD4 and Lost Planet. I'll stick with those. COD2 may be a little too difficult at this time to get a full room.

New tracks are being worked on, according to the article.


BTW - Saw this amazing machine on the 210 two days ago. Slow though. I won't say I raced him in the Malibu, but let's just say, "He Got Bu'd".

For those who don't know... Bungie, the makers of Halo, was originally a gaming company primarily focused on Macintosh gaming development. (YES)

When M$ decided to go forward w/ the X-box, they bought Bungie, because they liked Halo and needed a platform-launching type game. And, it was easier to control product development if they OWNED the freaking company. Hence, the Mac platform focus was then scrapped and they focused on X-box primarily.

Oh, wouldn't it be nice to have the brains of Bill Gates...to see the long term profits of a potential product and to have the capital to see a product through. Bungie is huge, it is because of the Xbox, or is it that Bungie made the Xbox what it is...or did they help out each other....who knows. Chicken/egg debate. Either way....it is amazing to see how things develop when they have brains and money behind them.

Microsoft made an offer to buy out the top 30 game design companies. It was another attempt to keep the monopoly running. That is the microsoft way ; buy out the compitition, use them or close them down, either way . . . Microsoft wins.
Microsoft also tried to get a non-compitition clause from every one of their game makers. ( if they would not allow for the buy-out) Gotta love what $$$ can do for you.

makes you wonder what could be accomplished if they applied that kind of fervor in researching cures for diseases, easing world hunger, and conserving the environment.

They have a temp west section, but no one has started a temp san Berno meet thread. Not surprising since there is only few of us left. Will S totaled that white T2 a month or so ago. Are we going to have an October meet? As for the Xbox 360thing, all of us 7 guys are still on PS2 and are busy customizing them w/ duct tape, zip ties, and alluminum sheeting.
