Game mode for Halo3

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

I just uploaded a game mode for Halo 3 called “cursed runes”, you can find it at this link, it’s pretty fun, it’s called cursed rune:

Cursed Rune is a slayer gametype that utilizes oddball’s skulls as power-ups. There are two skulls. The skull acts as a powerful melee weapon, you get instant kills while holding it, and holding it makes you much faster and somewhat more armored. Yet, for every second you hold it, you lose a score point! Do NOT hold it when you are not getting kills!

Fear not! Kills with the skull nets you 3 times as many points as a normal kill.”

Cool looking laptop

For a while, I’ve been looking for a craptop, a laptop I can bring with me to class or to a campus cafeteria and just browse the web on, take notes, send emails, and look at slides.

Also play a couple basic 2d crappy games.

The closest thing so far for me has been the Apple Macbook, for it’s size and value, but finally Asus just came out with a PC called the Eee pc 701, notebook review put out an october editor’s choice review for it. I plan on buying an Eee pc some day in my life, but the main thing I’m worried about is that I don’t like the battery life. I’d like a PC that lasts at least 6 hours, if not more. That way, I can use it on bus trips from where I live to where my family lives.

I might go for the second generation if this thing takes off. Maybe by then they’ll have the battery life up, and expanding the screen real-estate an inch or so would be nice.

Update: Wikipedia says the Intel Merom version with lower battery consumption comes in april.  Why isn’t it the Intel Penryn (one generation after Merom) version?  I don’t know, maybe penryn is too new?…

Whoops

Just realized the script for my little hyperlinks sub-site was totally broken. Fixed now, let me know if any links aren’t working.
