Man, I think that Bungie deserves serious props for making one of the best Halo games in the series. Halo: Reach is seriously too much fun, for $60 CND you get a Xbox 360 game that is packed to the rim with goodness + epicness.
Crammed into a single DVD is a single-player game experience, a multiplayer bonanza and a full co-operative experience that is available to play offline & online. So if you want a solo experience or just want to play with friends then this game has options & modes to satisfy any gamer.
I haven’t beaten the single player story yet but so far the experience has been exhilarating and a blast to play. I really enjoy having other Spartan team-mates to back me up in the many gun-fights & encounters with the covenant scum that is attempting to invade Reach. Having other AI to assist you is both helpful and comforting for the player because it makes you feel that your not alone in the fight.
Just don’t allow the AI team mates to drive any of the vehicles, they really suck at driving!
Online is truly addicting and will take getting used to, I’m really not used to the new weapons presented in the game and the availability of amor abilities online. I’ve only played a couple of online matches but so far, so good!
Once I’m done with the single player experience, I’m sure I’ll dive right into the online world of slayer & big team battle.

I freaking love Dropbox! It’s an awesome web-based service for storing, backing up & syncing files across multiple computers. I only wished that there was an easy way for people to send files to my Dropbox because I really hate retrieving files as email attachments and logging into FTP accounts are too complicated for some people.
Well wish no more! Today I stumbled upon this awesome new service called, AirDropper. AirDropper lets Dropbox users send a request for files to anyone (email or just a link), even if the person doesn’t have a Dropbox account. This is an insanely useful service for people who need other people to send them large files that cannot be sent as an email attachment.
Let’s use a practical example to illustrate how insanely cool AirDropper is:
Problem: My friend has 273.9 MB worth of photos that he took at an event on Saturday. I requested that he send me his photos but atlas he doesn’t have a Dropbox account. He can’t send 273.9 MB worth of photos over email and I don’t want the compressed (ewww…) versions of the photos on Facebook.
Solution: Rather than set up a FTP account on my webspace (took much work), I opted to use AirDropper to send a link to his email requesting (you can even just send a link!) for his photos. My friend clicks the link, enters the password provided and proceeds to send over 100 photos to a folder on my Dropbox. This process is very painless, fast and easy for my friend, he doesn’t need a Dropbox account and I get the files straight into my Dropbox!
Seriously this is a very cool service that has many useful purposes, think about it, you can even get clients to send you large files without dealing with nasty email attachments! Down with email attachments!

On Saturday the 4th I took part in the Toronto Halo Reach Event. This epic event took place on an empty parking lot, which was transformed into a laser tag battlefield complete with camo army tents and UNSC solder’s barking orders in your face.
So before planning going to go to this event, I decided that I should arrive at least 2 hours early in order to snag a free T-shirt and to beat the insane line ups that the Vancouver event suffered from.
From the moment that I arrived at Union Station, I proceeded to walk to the event destination (306 Queen Street West) and I promptly arrived in the line up @ 2:00 PM. Keep in mind that this event didn’t start till 4:00 PM, the line up wasn’t too large yet at 2:00 but once it hit 4:00 the line up increased exponentially! Oh boy!

Prediction: Xbox 360 Game of the Year
As the September 14th release date for Halo: Reach looms closer and closer, gamers are itching for anything Halo related.
This Saturday (Sept 4) Xbox Canada will be hosting a “once-in-a-lifetime event” to promote the latest Halo game in the high-acclaimed series. The event which is occurring in downtown toronto is encouraging gamers & Halo fans to participate in an battle that will feature laser tag. This battle will allow gamers to use “state-of-the-art weapons technology” to defend the UNSC control points against the Convenant invaders.
As noted by gamers who participated in the Vancouver event (Aug 28th), there is a chance that the actual game might not be featured at this event. This would be a really stupid move by Microsoft not to have the actual playable game at the upcoming Toronto event, its in their best interest to promote/addict as many people as possible. But it their defense, they know all the gamers attending the event on Saturday will have pre-ordered the game ages ago.
I know I’ll be attending this event, I plan to arrive hours before 4:00 to see if I can beat the huge line-ups that are predicted. I’m hoping that I can score a free Halo: Reach t-shirt and hopefully (crossing-fingers) try a playable version of Halo: Reach.

If you’re reading this, that means that I have successfully launched my personal blog! Hi-hip Hooray!
Motivated by a certain-someone (It’s you Courtney!), I started this personal blog to share my thoughts, interests and just see if the world really cares about what I have to say. Hopefully I can contribuite something to the people reading this and I hope that I can help someone leave this site with something useful (information? free codes? cookies?!).
Now for the boring details, this WordPress blog started its life on Aug 28th, it was a ugly duckling with its default skin that made it look like a zillion other WordPress blogs on the internet. Over a period of 3 days I transformed the generic looking blog into a beautiful swan! This swan is so pretty now! You’re a good swan arn’t ya!
(Begins to pet’s swan…)
Umm… I hope you like and try to suggest things for me to write (I mean blog..) about!
