I give you Exhibit A.  N00bs on Halo 2.  Yeah.  The real n00bs are the ones who cheat on that game online.  I swear it's really getting out of control.  Either they use the most obvious hacks like flying all over the map and ones you have to pay attention to like having an overshield all the time.  Even on games like SWAT will they use overshields.  And I'm sure everybody here is getting tired of that and cannot wait 'til Halo 3 comes out where Bungie will have total control over the servers since well... the game will be played online on Bungie's servers instead of someone else hosting the game.  But that won't be 'til Fall this year.  So you would have to still wait a few more months for that.  But I can tell you what you can only wait for a few days.

The Oni Radio!!!!

Yes.  I am gonna be doing another radio airing this weekend on Saturday and Sunday from 6:00PM to 9:00PM PST.  As allways, you can click on the date and time to see when this will be for you.  So now we get to take a break from Halo 2 (unless you're one of the lucky ones that got the Halo 3 beta).  As always, I'll be taking requests and have my radio IMs up for you to IM me.  Be and stay cool.

Yes.  I almost forgot to wish every a happy Towel Day.  This is the day when youhave to bring your towel everywhere.  Why? Because it's the most useful tool ever made.

"A towel, says the Hitchhaker's Guide to the Galaxy, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitch hiker can have. Partly it has great practical
value - you can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a mini raft down the slow heavy river Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mindboggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you - daft as a bush, but very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.

More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: non-hitch hiker) discovers that a hitch hiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, face flannel, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitch hiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitch hiker might accidentally have "lost". What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is is clearly a man to be reckoned with."

Gotta love the HHGTTG.  It's great.
