Zombies!

Ok so Halloween came and went with little celebration, much to my dismay. This is largely in part because of the fires that have recently plagued San Diego County, because after all you can't throw a party if you house is gone or a wreck...but this is water under the bridge.

Bungie, the minds behind the Halo franchise, did something really cool for the night of ghouls and goblins by making their game type "infection" a ranked match making option which allowed many people to finally play large games of one to the most popular game types. There was however one small problem with the whole setup, if you had people in your party while trying to match make then it wouldn't find any games of zombie...on top of that if you had a party and playing a regular game type then it seems like the ranking system didn't allow people to gain ranks. It was really a bummer as I had people over at my house and we couldn't play zombie and since it was a "one day" type deal the chance has passed me by. No matter I am sure they will make it an official game type due to popularity.

On another Halo 3 note, I played numerous custom games with the guys over at Gamerswithjobs.com , and let me tell you they are some of the most fun games you will play. We played a game called "puma ball" and it consists of two teams with players near invincible playing a soccer type game with a warthog as the ball and player bases as the net. Each player has a gravity hammer and the rocket launcher and try to hurdle the warthog across the map. There was a pirate game where you have to stay on your ship if you want to have full shield as you stave off attackers on skiffs or try to prevent the other teams ship from boarding yours, let me tell you its an obscene amount of fun good work guys.

As has been stated I have been playing CoX lately primarily city of villains and have started a stalker which is akin to a rogue in WoW in the sense that it has invisibility and can do insane amounts of damage from stealth but once you get that initial strike done its very hard to deal consistent damage and stay alive. Updates will come as this character levels more.
