The Future of Halo...Is No More?

Well thats what the Bungie panel said at Comic Con. After Halo: Reach, Bungie will no longer be making anymore Halo games and be moving on to new projects. So basically what that means is Halo wont be made by Bungie, but future Halo games are still a probability. Yes, I made a title that is a little misleading. Rest of Bungie games will be overseen by 343 Industries which is owned by former Bungie employee Frank O' Connor. So all is not lost yet.

Also announced was Halo: Legends, made by the same people who made Animatrix and Batman: Gotham Knight. Looks sweet so far:

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition

Yep it got a longer title, but that doesn't diminish the game in any way. Now what this is about is a new bonus edition to this new game. Yes its a way to cash in, but this time its slightly different and new. Remember Halo 3's Master Chief "Cat-Helmet"? Modern Warfare will have something similar. Take a look:



Good Lord! Working Night Vision goggles?! What an interesting set this is. It will cost about how much the Halo 3 Helmet set costs, a hefty $150. But seriously how can you not want goggles while playing the game or finding your way at night? Can't go wrong with Night Vision goggles.

You also get the first Call of Duty with each set. There is also a Hardened Edition, which I’m guessing includes everything shown in the picture, sans the Night Vision Goggles. It also comes within a steelbook case. I have to get it now. Modern Warfare 2 makes its release November 10, 2009.

Plus a big announcement soon, stay tuned.

Who thinks he shouldn't direct Halo now?

The Problem With Computer Slow Downs

Many people have this problem of course, but having experience with computers and with these slow downs I have noticed there are solutions to fixing these. The unfortunate part is that I have found only one solution works and requires a lot of work and a lot of backing up. First I will tell you what doesn’t work only to give a warning; and that’s from websites that either advertise on TV or ads you see on the internet. Those in which include the annoying commercial of FinallyFast.com. (Don’t use it its just a reference) As researching before actually using them I have found none of them work and only give your computer much worse problems. So those don’t work, and then comes to cleaning software which say helps your system, but only slightly. Registry keys are either fixed, slightly fixed and/or can be damaged permanently. I have actually used a registry cleaning tool and I don’t actually see a point to it. I also tried a computer cleaning program which made the computer worse I believe.

Now comes the time for me to actually say: What Works? Only one thing: Actually reinstalling your Windows XP/Vista or whatever other older windows you have. And I mean you have to completely do this. Which requires backing up all your software, personal stuff, etc. I heard somewhere you should do this once a month, but I say that’s too much. I say after a while your computer has problems, like deep problems while you can still save everything is the final point to do it. After that it becomes a huge and extremely slow mess when moving things. Why I say this? Because I actually lost a computer to viruses and registry errors and the like, to this. Its the only way to do this, nothing else will absolutely not work. I am mostly making a very big theoretical outlook on this, but after testing everything else it is my final solution to computer and hardware problems. As long as you have your original computer key and software you are pretty much good to go. Also backup of your stuff is required unless you don’t want to see it again.

My best tip for computer people out there. I seriously see nothing else that will work. Through experience and research this is the best plan I see out there to fix a computer. I will safely say I am no expert, but I seriously don’t want useless or unneeded software in my computer to actually fix my computer. Do you?
