halo is finally getting interesting...

Don't mean to double post as a daily thing, but this is today's formal update.

Halo is finally showing some promise. The first couple levels (or chapters, i guess) were kind of ho-hum, find the switch, 'oh, i can just WALK through that' and general getting lost-ness. but now it's getting interesting with, and i'm sure i'll be corrected because i can barely follow the plot at all, but the 'flood' which are these wicked looking zombie like creatures, but more like the brain suckers in futurama. They grab unsuspecting corpses and re-animate them. they're a little freaky when you're in close quarters, but thoroughly more satisfying to fight than just sniping the brutes.

Am writing, currently, a review of the LG Shine, which is in notes stages right now. It's a pretty badass looking phone, if i do say so myself, though i'm not sold on bell's set of features (not really the phones fault i guess). they let you 'download' movies for $8 a pop, but i only figured out after that it doesn't even display the full screen of the phone and it's a one day rental. yep, for the cost of a movie at the WESTIN where i stayed in boston on a business trip, you can watch a horrible quality STREAMED movie on your phone, and only for one day. awesome.

but the phone seriously is pretty bitching, will post some pics tonight if i can remember.

now my only issue is finding enough hours in the day to get through the stack of games beside my couch. it's almost as intimidating as the stacks of books beside my couch during university. though they were easier to ignore :).

should probably get back to my work right now as i'm also writing a piece on the impact of the new youtube Canadian portal on Canadian companies and sponsors. it's kind of interesting but my guitar hero iii review, which will probably come out next week, should be a better read.

til then, my homies,

i pour a fifty on your behalf.

oh! and i added links to some other cool blogs you should check out of my friends Jen the Journalist (who likes spelling and capitals WAY more than me) and GlenJM, a rad up and coming actor from Halifax I met while in school.
