There is a limited Halloween run of “Infection” maps on Halo 3 Live. It sounds good. Most players start off as human, and as they get killed by the “zombies,” they turn into zombies themselves until there are no humans. I know what I’m doin’ after the kids are in bed.
I love this film from Halo 3. He’s just shooting a random map object that blows up when struck(a fusion core), then -Blam-!
This ABC report would seem to say so, indicating that if this guy doesn’t get paid $1.6 Million on a slot payout by the Sandia tribe of New Mexico, his main recourse is to pound sand. Why? State courts have no jurisdiction over indian tribes as “independent nations.”
So here’s my question: do Federal courts have jurisdiction over the tribes’ behavior? Would a hypothetical plaintiff be able to bring a fraud suit in the Federal courts against a tribe and keep it there? Anybody around here have any experience versus the feather-not-dot indians?
Oddball, bitches:
He’s got a nice bubble shield going, but judging by the radar, I’d say he’s in trouble.
Or at least parts of it. The Monday Night Football part especially.
[I typed up this minor essay on the Disney/ABC/ESPN fusion, how cool ESPN was when they showed Australian Rules Football, and ruminations on the "Bodyshaping" era. But screw it, let me just get to the point.]
Tony Kornheiser sucks.
Jazz hands!
Everything has to be an earth shattering proclamation of utter dominance. It’s black. It’s white. There is no room for discussion and allowing sport to be sport. With last night’s performance (and though I hate Jaws he really did a respectable job at refusing to answer the “who will win IND v. NE - tell me NOW!!!” question) he has surpassed Bob Kostas as the most irritating sports commentator on television.
Please ESPN, stop the insanity and shut him the hell up.
Too bad. Desktop Tower Defense will destroy your afternoon. You’re welcome.
Online poker is rigged. At least at Absolute. It’s been confirmed. A part-owner of Absolute Poker was cheating the game. Scary thing is that I met this guy at the WSOP last year, had some ongoing talks about them buying some stuff from me. What a skeez. I would bet that he would do prison time, except at this point I suspect they’ll never find the body.
I had to move my cable modem and router over to the TV and update the router firmware. I also have to get kids in bed before the carnage can begin. It cost more than I would have liked, and I still suck with a game controller. But man is it gorgeous and the gameplay is Bungie-good. I finished the solo campaign on Legendary and have begun playing more multiplayer.
All of the Bungie multiplayer elements are in place, with a new wrinkle: the matchbuilder system. This is a great bungie.net improvement. You throw your name into the big hat and Bungie servers will put together games on the fly based on skills. They host games, set the teams based on experience and skill, and pick maps. Maps can be vetoed by simple majority. You can play in ranked or social. You can group up with friends or just go lonewolf. There is very little downtime between matches. Many of the favorite bungie games are back. Oddball (kill the man with the skull) is a favorite. KOTH is now Crazy King featuring a hill that moves about every two minutes(?) or so creating a running firefight to the new location. Big team battles (8 per side) can also be done. VIP (kill the special player on 1 team), CTF 1 way or 2, same with Assault. Bungie.net catalogs your service record on the web. You can get the full carnage report breakdown including a map of what happened where, kills by player, weapon type, etc.
You can even upload content to XboxLive so other players can click on you and see your scrapbook, download a map file, etc. You can get some of this stuff off the web, too.
BTW, if you follow the link and find the hi-res version of that screen shot up there, you can see me firing the second SPNKR in the distance. The two rockets went for 4 kills all told. Good times.
