Our little trip is nearing an end, as we are heading back home tomorrow. Today is the reason for the vacation in the first place, conquering the largest mountain in the contiguous (fancy word for mainland) US, and it so happens to be called Mt. Rainier. The weather will determine how far we get, but based on the view from our hotel room, it's looking promising.
Earlier this week, the first E3 appointment requests came in, so there's no escaping it anymore. In a few months, we're heading out to Los Angeles for an entire week of gaming mayhem.

Yesterday, Bungie revealed some of the
new multiplayer modes in the upcoming Halo: Reach, and the new names sounded eerily familiar. We already know by now that I'm an avid CrimeCraft player, and oddly enough, three of the new names are modes in CC. Headhunter has you collecting loot from AI-driven enemies; Stockpile is a resources gathering mode where AI bots are protecting loot boxes; and Generator Defense is similar to safeguard in CrimeCraft, where you protect an objective from waves of enemies that are trying to blow it up. I'm sure the Bungie people have never even heard of CrimeCraft, but this is quite a coincidence.
On a much sadder note, Type O Negative singer Peter Steele, 46, passed away yesterday from a heart condition. At 6'7'', the frontman was not only an imposing figure, but he also had a unique low heavy voice and was quite the gothic rock sensation in the late '90s. In his honor, I shall now play "My Girlfriend's Girlfriend."
