Halo 3 Done – Coming September 25th
Posted in: Today's ChiliThis article was written on August 30, 2007 by CyberNet.
Halo 3 is done! The developers of the game, Bungie, announced yesterday that “Halo’s Gone Gold.” That means that the final version of Halo 3 is done, and now it’s being “whisked away to top-secret manufacturing locations to be turned into retail version of the game – and eventually packaged and sent to stores in various cases, tins and cat-helmets. We can’t wait to share it with you guys on September 25th and 26th.”
They go on to thank all the people involved in creating what is expected to be one of the most successful video games, ever. They closed up the announcement with “We finished our fight. Your fight begins in 27 days. Are you ready?” And with that question, I know that many of you are more than ready. With over 1 million pre-orders, Halo 3 has already broken preorder records in the video game industry! People are expecting a lot from Halo 3, and I doubt it’ll Disappoint.
In other Halo 3 news, apparently South Koreans aren’t really familiar with Halo. So in an effort to familiarize Koreans with the game, Microsoft decided to do some promoting. According to Kotaku, “Microsoft Korea thought it would be HILARIOUS to have a guy in a Master Chief costume to spook innocent bystanders and film it Candid Camera-style and use cheesy circus music.”
Just watch…

Refusing to acknowledge that Tetris and Jenga are both incredibly challenging in their own rights, ThinkGeek has mashed the two of them up into a new game that has you stacking 3D tetromino-like pieces on a game board that actually hovers. Not even that crazy multi-level chess game in Star Trek seems this futuristic.

Geeks are sometimes given the stereotype as being big spenders on gadgetry, from computers to video game systems. You, yourself, may be a spender. While some do always have to have the latest and greatest of anything electronic, not all geeks are frequently forking out the cash.
Now that most people living in the United States will be receiving a refund check from the government within the next month or so, a survey was done to see what people would be doing with the money. NPD Group conducted one such survey and even though “geeks” could easily go out and spend the $600 or $1200 on a new computer or a sleek TV, what they found is that people will actually be saving the money.
Maybe geeks won’t be spending because they already own the latest and greatest (haha) and nothing enticing has come out? Or maybe it’s because those who follow technology trends aren’t as big of spenders as everybody thought? Regardless, the bottom line from a PC Magazine article says that geeks are planing to save the money they receive from their tax rebate and not spend it.
If you’re getting a rebate check, what is it that you plan to do with the extra cash?

Before Flappy Bird, Candy Crush, and other electronic obsessions occupied our free time, there was Simon. The simple game had players trying to perfectly recreate an ever-growing sequence of flashing colors by pressing a set of four buttons. It was simple, it was frustrating, and now it’s gotten even harder as Hasbro is adding swipe gestures into the mix.
