Mondo, Can You Translate These For Us?














Lot's of crazy new stuff here. I love the huge tank that looks like the Jawa sandcrawler from Star Wars. [Update: Some of the pictures are explained in this article.]

Well, Well ... What Do We Have Here?

Looks like Free's dream of playing thousands of horribly designed custom maps might come true. But what is that other pistol he's wielding?












And another new weapon. You can spot this one in the trailer for the campaign, but it's never fired.

Violence in Videogames

I have a buddy (Jerald) who is a psychiatrist and it turns out (i never knew until I saw his name on digg) he is quite the expert on videogame violence versus real-world violence.

Here is a link to an interesting destructoid interview with Jerald:

Enjoy!

PS - F**K the studies, see you in RB6Vegas, bitches!

Eh hosers. I'll retern pfrom da great nort in early August



Hoser (hōz ´әr): noun. 1. A clumsy, boorish person, especially an uncouth, beer-drinking man often clothed in a flannel lumberjack coat, Kodiak boots and a toque. 2. What you call your little brother when your mother isn't in the room. 3. A highly amusing subgenre of Canadian Cinema (i.e. Hoser Film) often containing a dark, yet poignant undertone.

Catch up to you all in early August. I'll drink a Molson or a Labatt to the 2130. Who does like a Moosepecker? Later eh.

H3 Map Editor: Bring It!

Man there's a shitload of information pouring out of E3. The blog would be loaded with it if I had more free time on my hands. For now, I just want to keep the momentum going for my wish that H3 include a map editor. Via 360 Fanboy:
The second rumor comes from 1UP and their Halo 3 campaign impressions writeup. In their article, they mention that while watching the demo they saw a menu option called "Forge" and when they asked Bungie about it, they received no comment. Well, any good Marathon fanboy would know that Bungie used a program also called Forge to create levels in their Marathon series. So, does this Halo 3 Forge menu option confirm some type of multiplayer map customization? Possibly. What we do know is that some of these rumors could be cleared up in the September issue of EGM which will include brand new Halo 3 details.
Come on Bungie. You've got the file sharing feature in place. Let's keep H3 interesting for a long time by making map editing a reality. Arm, when you get back, please email your buddy Frankie and tell him the 2130 would like a map editor.

Last known LAN picture of the 2130


A full ice box, wool underpants, outhouse, well water, and lots of whiskey are my memories of the 2130 gaming together. The good ole days must return. Perhaps sooner than later? I'm asking the clan for a night a week. Tuesdays? Viva la 2130!
