Halo 3 In Production [still a rumor tho]
NEXT BOX
Halo 3 In Production
Yes, we have news about Halo 3. IGN learned last week while drinking
secretly imported beers with its informants that Microsoft is prepared for
the battle of its life in this upcoming console war. From what we
understand, Bungie is hard at work on, not so surprisingly, Halo 3, which
will be ready day and date with the launch of PlayStation 3.
So, while Bungie said it's working on something else, well, we have
different news. Sure, the smart creative guys at Bungie are working on
something else, but you had better bet your bottom dollar they're also
working on the next Halo. The release of Halo 3 at the precise launch of PS3
is a pure, military tactical move, similar to the PS2's greatest lineup ever
launching simultaneously with the launch of the Xbox and GameCube. It's
designed to counter Sony's upcoming launch with the best weapon Earth has on
its side, Master Chief. Go, John 17, go! Save Earth from Sony!

If Halo 3 is really being made, and...
If Halo 3 comes out when PS3 is launched in the U.S. that would probably
make Halo 3 a "real" Xbox2 game,
and not a pre-firstgen game made on non-Xbox2 hardware, like most of the
games we've heard about for
Xbox2 like Project Avalon, Dark Sector, Heavenly Sword, War Devil,
Condemned, etc.
the original Halo was being made before the first Xbox was even completed.

And the first Halo was originally not even being made for Xbox; it started
as a PC game.

Yep, it started life as a sequel to the Marathon games, and there is

Seriously though, Valve (bow before their might! ;) ) could possibly require
online activation/validation before allowing play, steam on the next xbox!

This date I'm sketical of, given the clusterfuck that was the
management of the Halo 2 project. A year late, a nightmare of
perma-crunch overtime and bad development decisions, to produce a game
that is in many ways inferior to the original.
>Sure, the smart creative guys at Bungie are working on

Yeah for another company, since the smart creative ones have all left.
P.S. I'm a big XBox fan (thought I own all consoles) and I'd love to
see Microsoft kick serious butt with the XBox 2. This is pure hype
though. Halo 2 was rediculously over-rated, late, and poorly
developed.

No way. That's a non-starter. Only 10% of XBox's are connected to the

Bees, shmees. It doesn't get at all interesting until you start taking
out hornet's nests. I'd rather sleep with a beehive by my bed than
walk past a hornet's nest. They will sting anyone who comes near. And
the sting is nasty ... most people have like a low-grade alergy to
hornet venom. A sting will cause severe pain, swelling, numbness, and
nausea for up to three days.
Our neighborhood got an infestation of them when I was a kid. My dad
had the time of his life getting rid of them. He had these huge gas
blow-torches (with a 4-inch wide flame) that they used in the Klondike
to un-freeze equipment in the winter. Well if you get it within the
first day ot two a hornet's nest isn't that big. So he'd just wait
until dusk and insta-torch the thing in like a quarter of a second. My
dad was the kind of guy who liked to help out, but got a real kick out
of doing it in a flashy way.
I've heard that an older technique (from when fire regulations were
not so strict) was that in the Fall a leaf-fire under their nest would
make them so drunk and sleepy that you could just knock the nest into
a bucket of water and drown it.
We had one by our back alley last summer and the young guys (like
college age) who lived across the street decided to try this ... but
without the fire, just whacking it with a bat into a bucket. And in
broad daylight! We saw one of them later that day with his arm all
swelled up. To their credit they did kill the nest though.
(I heard another trick is to crumple up a paper bag and hang it from
your trees, as they are highly teritorial and will see it as another
nest. This is an especially good idea if you've killed a nest, because
if the queen somehow survives they'll rebuild in the same spot.)

I've also done hornets. Believe me, I've seen a lot of stinging insects
where I live. My stepbrother also tried to use a hose on hornets, but boy,
did he pay (two stings before he got away, and his allergy was more than
low-grade). He lived, and no permanent damage done, but he learned his
lesson. We live out in the country, and we have a barn that we've turned
into a storage shed that the hornets had taken over. I tried going in there
to do the classic Raid spray attack, but they guarded the door so well I
couldn't get through. So I did a quick spray to clear them out enough for me
to grab the back of our go-cart, which we keep in there, and I pulled it out
and sprayed the Raid hose on it in the threshold of the barn so it sprayed
off the top and shot in every direction. It cleared them off enough for me
to go in and see where their nest was: in a light. I turned the light on,
threw a rock into the bulb to expose the live wires, and sprayed it,
covering the nest with electrified water. I must have fried the queen,
because they were gone the next day.

Yeah, that was pretty dumb. I did manage to kill a single hornet with a nail
once, but there's no way I could've done it to a whole hive.

Despite all these great stories we have of Hornet Wars (I think the purpose
of aggressive creatures is to give us bragging rights for having killed
them), they're not the meanest I've seen. I came across a red and white bee
about four inches long once. This was nowhere near my house, nor any house
I'm likely to live in in the future, because this thing was nasty. Luckily
it was just one; if I met the hive, they'd probably have killed me. I had
steel-toed boots on because I was in a cow field and I didn't want to get
stepped on with one of those hooves, but they ended up being more offensive
than defensive. I froze and waited until the bee landed, then kicked its
head four times with my steel-toed boot. That killed it. Then I got the hell
out of there before the rest of the hive showed up. I found out later that
it was a killer bee that had migrated in small numbers from Mexico. One
sting can kill you even if you're not at all allergic; they're more toxic
than a rattlesnake. Boy, am I glad there was only one... *shivers and tries
not to think about it*

Cheapest and most powerful cannot be used in the same sentence unless
you're being sarcastic. A cheap PC is still much more than an xbox. and
it'll most likely not be able to handle the graphics requirements of an
xbox-level pc game. You'll need a good calibre pc to actually get up to
XBOX-level graphics. We're talking about at least 3 times the cost of 1
xbox here.
Most powerful: YES!!
Cheapest: NO....

As I understand it Bungie really doesn't exist in the same form
anymore. Most of the leader left, and Microsoft took over day to day
management after the clusterfuck that was Halo 2 development (I don't
blame MS one bit either, I'd have done the same thing).

Indeed, I've recovered Bee swarms(for cash) played
tag with hornets and LARGE spray can of
WD40/lighter combo. But nothing equals the feeling
you get when camping, wake up in the night to hit
the bushes and find that 500 females are in your
pants...500 fireants that is. I hate fireants...

Halo is not really a true sequel to Marathon - it's just that there
are plenty of in-jokes and references put in there by the development
team for people to find.

I worked for a cable company after highschool, and I had just knocked on a
lady's door when this giant, loud, iridescent green/black, crazy flying bug
flew into my face. I was swinging my clipboard wildly and screeching in
panic when this pretty lady opened the door and in a sweet southern accent
said, "Hon, don't panic, it's just a junebug!"

I mean why the hell would corn meal kill an ant den? BTW, Don Mattingly is
a professional BASEBALL player, the NHL is HOCKEY. I've never paid for an
NHL game in my life. Minor league hockey, high school and college hockey
but never pro.

I wonder if this is related to that "anti ant chalk" you get get in
Chinatown in most cities. It's like this chalk you can draw around the
edges of a room. Ants and roaches will not cross it. If they do touch
it they die. Always wondered how it works (and it does work - you can
draw a circle around a roach with this stuff and it can't get out).

Do you remember Jeff Foxworthy? If I told him that I learned how to shoot
rifles by using hornets, it'd become part of his routine.
My dad has a place in the NC mountains. I stayed with him for the summer
when I was about 12. That summer, there were Japanese Hornets everywhere.
We had a blast and got rid of the hornets one at a time.

That might explain what I've been seeing... In the past two falls, I've
noticed about 4 or 5(!) nests starting to form on the eaves that run along
the front of my house. One, maybe two I could understand, but some of the
would-be nests were less than a foot apart. I ended up getting some
RAID foam type stuff, waited until late evening, and basically soaked
each nest site with the stuff. Even then, I'd notice a few of them
starting to build more nests in the same spot.

Why don't you take your own advice and leave all the groups alone as
well? After all, all of your posts do nothing but rant and rave about how
evil Valve/Steam/HL2 is. That makes *you* a spammer, and an offtopic one
at that, since you're still spewing your trash into the console groups, as
well as PC game groups that aren't even concerned with HL2.
