Well anyone playing in the WoW community certainly has noticed that the servers have been getting worse and worse and hopefully in the next month or two, Blizzard will get them straightened out. I personally think it's getting annoying but who knows, I just want to play. :)

Honestly this next couple weeks is going to be good. Good for gaming, good for work, good for everyone.

Check it out. I'll be putting more details throughout the day.

I swear I'm working on some good stuff for my UCB but work has definately kicked up here the past couple months so it's been really busy. How's everyone else doin'!?

Chime in and let me know how you guys/gals are. :)

Well, if you haven't noticed, I've been sparse over the course of the past 2 weeks. Workload here at my job has picked up, as well as job interviews for some other positions. I'm finding out today if I get the job or not so we'll see.

I'll have major updates to my UCB and my journal once I get some time this weekend. :)

I made it to level 7 last night, awesome, awesome game.

If I can get a straight answer out of this, that'd be great mods.

Well I got it.... here goes my life.... down the drains.

Come check it out.

I'm sure that most of you have played Halo 2 by now and if you haven't, you should.

Either way, I hate to hear all these threads about how gamers are feeling "cheated" by Bungie for the "garbage", "rushed-job", "add-on" to the original Halo.

Honestly, Halo 2's storyline is one of those things that you have to appreciate Bungie going the distance to give some background on why we're playing what we're playing. Not just "Halo's" that destory things, but actually giving us incite into the universe that Bungie has created.

So much talk has been about how much Bungie didn't add any gameplay elements into the game that were "new" or "innovative"; yet I beg to differ.

***SPOILERS***

Going through the different sides of the campaign as the covenant and Master Chief was a nice and refreshing twist to the conflict of Halo and how they interact with each other. Being able to see how each side is trying to 1up the other in gaining the advantage, is quite cool to partake in. ***MAJOR SPOILERS** Also note that probably one of the best levels was playing as the Arbator and cutting the cables and free falling from the Command Station. I mean, I haven't experienced anything like that in a LONG time, kudos to Bungie for a great moment in the game.

Sure, I bet most people are dissapointed in no real "new" vehicles or gameplay mechanics (dual wielding, should've been in Halo 1 blah blah) etc, however I think little tweaks to the game actually make Halo 2 a more complete game than Halo was.

Honestly in the end, Bungie set out to do a couple things: 1.) Tell us a story. 2.) Make an action/adventure game while providing action, puzzles and awesome gaming moments (as mentioned above) 3.) Build upon the successful multiplayer mode that made Halo so popular.

Honestly, I think Bungie/MS did something that few people/companies can do, improve gameplay, create a story that holds interest that basically will leaving you wanting Halo 3 and giving us an extremely fun multiplayer mode.

Just my 2 cents.
