Halo There, Readers
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009A new website header AND social bookmarking buttons all in one week? I know, I’m excited too. Now you can Digg our new ‘brews’ or share them on Facebook to your heart’s content. Hopefully these buttons work, but if they don’t, shoot one of us an e-mail and we’ll try to fix the problem. In terms of the the comic, I didn’t originally plan on cranking out three (relatively) topical comics in a row, but they just kept coming. Interestingly, that Harry Potter comic was originally one panel. Maybe one day it’ll see the light of day reincarnated as a poster or wallpaper.
Just finished beating Halo: ODST and, unsurprisingly, the campaign was short in comparison to Halo 3, but that was to be expected. The narrative of the game was also less linear, told in fragments from the POVs of different ODS troops. However, the game was still beautifully crafted. Loved the colour palette. It seems like the concept art was successfully realized in the game (check the art below).
I even liked the soundtrack of the game, arguably better than in previous Halo games. I know a lot of people are complaining about the $60 price tag, but the opportunity to once again play around in the Halo universe and get all the Halo 3 multiplayer maps was well worth the money for me. That’s about it for now, make sure you bookmark/Digg/Facebook us for your weekly serving of piping hot Homebr00d goodness.
