Another beautiful day in our neck of the woods, and the forecast is predicting more of the same today. Our little hike yesterday was not what we had set out to do, as our friends did not feel like a two-hour stroll, but nevertheless, it was time well spent.
We watched Stargate Universe and a few episodes of Bones, and since we have no specific plans for the rest of the day, we'll probably catch up on a few more TV shows.
Hope people are enjoying their Halo: Reach friends & family codes. The giveaway was an overwhelming success, and we wish we could have accommodated every entry, but that's the nature of the beast.

God damn, we did it again. We shouldn't drink wine when we're already tired to begin with. It never ends well. Wine is our kryptonite, no doubt about it .... We had a friend over for dinner, and of course, a bottle was opened, and then what was supposed to be a refreshing little nap turned into an all-night snooze fest. For Shame!
Today, we're meeting some friends for brunch and while we're out in their area, we might go for a hike. There is supposed to be a two-hour trail out there with nice views, so time permitting, we're strapping on the walking shoes.

Our
Halo: Reach beta key giveaway was a smashing success. Thousands sent in an email in the first hour, so we decided to use that as leverage and request another set of keys so we can please more of our readers. Keep sending in those mails! You might just get lucky ....
Last night, we went to a going away party for our longtime friend, Jarik Sikat from KOEI, who is literally leaving it all behind this very morning, packing his bags and moving to Japan. While this is still work and business, some people stand out more than others due to their attitude, friendliness and demeanor, and Jarik will surely be missed and the industry will be lesser for it. We wish him the best in his future endeavors, and our paths will surely cross again.

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."
