MOTD
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."

Nothing too exciting yesterday, but that will hopefully change later this evening, as we are going to attend Konami's annual "Gamers Day." Maybe we'll get to see some exciting new stuff. Depending on the embargo dates, we should have some coverage of various titles in the near future.
No new movies on the horizon. We watched the latest Lost episode, so the only interested bit left is music. We picked up former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash's new album and must admit that it is a nice piece of work. As a solo project, the record consists of nothing but tracks where he has other people do the vocals, such as Ozzy Osbourne, lead singers from Motorhead, Wolfmother, Foo Fighters, and a slew of others — most surprisingly Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas. If this type of music is your bag, it is definitely worth checking out ....
