Evening Reading

by Brian Leahy, Sep 22, 2010 5:00pm PDT

Got in some major Halo: Reach multiplayer time last night, while also getting Civilization V to run properly due to some lingering configuration issues from having an earlier build on my machine for the review.

Evidence of my Halo has been documented into the digital history books through non-judicious use of Bungie Pro's video rendering tool. You can check out footage of some Arena Doubles, Arena Teams, and our group getting the "Skunked!" achievement in a game of Invasion.

So yesterday I got to play the Duke Nukem Forever preview. I'm going to go ahead and paste my experience in a series of subposts.

tl;dr - The preview was a lot of fun, i loved the trailer, the office space was amazing, and the experience was absolutely amazing. Duke is in good hands.

      yep, I was poking around, looking for a US storefront to snap it up from. Loved Road to Hill 30... not really sure what I was expecting, but I sure as heck wasn't expecting it to be as good as it was.
