Bomb Armed

Well it's time for me to blog on another week of game-related miscellanea and with the absence of E3 or any editorial I may be writing I can fortunately greet you this week without a wall of text three times the size of a normal blog. In fact E3 seems so long ago to me but perhaps this is because I am now in the third day of my Summer holidays and already it's been relaxing. I've played a varied handful of games that I won't go into except for Rock Band which I am still enjoying and somehow I managed to strum my way through the 58 song 'Endless Setlist' so I'm feeling pretty smug. Also just for the record, despite looking a little dated I've found Sid Meier's Pirates to have provided an immersive experience.

(This paragraph was removed from the blog as it is about the site you are on right now. However if you're really that desperate you can see it on the original post of this blog here).

Now for a humourous and once again Bungie-related story. A few weeks ago the Bungie fans thought they'd caught the clever developer out when a picture of a Wal-Mart database was taken from their intranet which listed a product called 'Halo Blue'. Of course the 'avid Halo fans' on Bungie.net (that means people who spend all day complaining about Trueskill and the power of the Battle Rifle, but never actually stop playing Halo) were immediately speculating away with talk of a Halo 4 or even more ridiculously a Halo 3 expansion pack. It was revealed more recently that although Bungie do have a Halo project in the works, in this case the legendary item was in fact just a blue Halo-themed USB flash drive.

Well that's this week done and dusted and now I must bid you adieu, places to go, headcrabs to kill. Thank you to some of my favourite people, PJ24, Edpeterson, Kingrich06 and Neojedi. Now I will leave you with the amusing but ultimately crushing to any game journalists out there, 100 game-industry cliches. Keep on rockin'.
