Some multi-cades are well made and nice and there are a TON of awful ones out there. People bring ones they made to auctions sometimes and they can be unintentionally hilarious. I say that, but I struggled to make a paper craft arcade cabinet, so I have no room to criticize.
Since you live in DFW (somewhere), you should make it over to Tornado Terry's in Keller sometime if you haven't before. It's not as slick as a place like Pinballz in Austin, but is a really good time with classic and new arcade games.
Also, that website is the best of 1997 web design. Bask in its glory.
Ha! Hopefully it will be the only one or one of the few. Don't want Krazy Snee!
I inspire learning. It's my mutant ability.
Be careful what you wish for.
It's just a retelling of Halo: Combat Evolved. Which, as you can imagine, would be difficult to turn into an engaging book. It's a lot of pure descriptions of shootouts and movements through buildings and caves. No slight against the author, because that would be a very difficult thing to write, but it's not a great book. The Fall of Reach is definitely the best place to start. Great tales of space battles like you never get in the games and a real feel for how outmatched humans were in the war with the Covenant. The space battle make me really desperately want a space combat game in the Halo universe. Let me command a slow-moving battle cruiser and I'll be thrilled!
Hahaha... Why you're interested at all is a mystery to me, then, but you should still start with The Fall of Reach. I'd be curious if
someone without any knowledge of the games would find the books interesting. Try and let us know!)
(I can't delete that smilie on my phone. Enjoy!)
I'd probably start with The Fall of Reach. You know parts of this story already, but it gives you more background and other angles to the conflict at Reach and the general human/Covenant war. Also, it's a book by Nylund, who handles this material well.
People falling on treadmills is a cornerstone of the long-running Biggest Loser series. Always hilarious, and they always try to make it seem dramatic.
Glad your son is OK, Nick! Kind of scary!
Nothing like a new bed. Seriously. They can be so expensive, but always worth it.
