In case you either forgot or didn’t know about this, Halo Broken Circle is out today. I’ll be picking up my copy shortly. This will give me some reading material for a day or two to help tide me over until the Master Chief Collection. Continue reading
Back in June I wrote an article saying why Halo was my destiny and not ‘Destiny’ the game.
In that article I shared my thoughts on another blog, being part of another gaming community, and was that game worth the effort.
I write this article not in any angry mindset but rather from a calm standpoint looking at some of the facts of and my 7 week experience with Destiny versus more than a decade of Halo fandom.
When I got my XBOX One back in September, I got it with a deal from Gamestop that if I buy a console, I get a new game free. Destiny was out the same week as the deal, so I went ahead and got Destiny. I gave this game a fair shake, having played it from release date up until this past Saturday (11/1/14). What I found was a mixed bag of things.
The rest of the article is going to be a relative comparison between aspects of Halo and Destiny. You’re free to disagree of course. I’m just relating my personal experience with each game. Continue reading

So the skulls for Halo 2 Anniversary have been found out. This info was passed on to me by HFFL member Rythmic Warrior. There is a LOT more skulls than I had thought there would be.
I have to admit, some of these seem a bit ridiculous. And I can’t imagine have a LASO run with all of these active. That would be beyond cray cray… Continue reading
My good friend MixMaker117 shared the link with me to his comparison video of Halo 2 and Halo 2 Anniversary’s Cinematic Trailers. It’s so cool to watch these side by side. Graphics have come a LONG way. Yet still, the old trailer brings on the feelings again.
Enjoy the vid below and please give Mix a LIKE on the vid.
