Jade Empire Available for download to 360 on Monday

I should see if I can find it used first... but I may end up picking this up since I never played it, and loved Kotor.

Cardboard Spartan

My Dad once gave me the advice, don't dance on film. Dancing doesn't age well. Something about seeing who you once were, believing yourself to be cool is pretty embarassing. Travolta. I'm looking at you.

Which leads us to today's post.

Fartbuttface created a video that I invite all to see. It's creepy. It's awesome. It reminds me of something I would do as a kid, before I discovered girls.

But my dad taught me not to dance on film. Go ahead. Enjoy.

The thing is, after Star Wars Kid and others like him, I think people are slightly more sensitive to the situation. Not everybody as the comments page shows, but some people are even encourging.

It's such a strange world when people are put on display.

Halo Matchmaking Update

A couple of interesting notes from Bungie's weekly update.

Shishka's Matchmaking Update

DLC:

• Heroic Maps skip after veto in both Objective and Slayer.

Ranked:

• Ranked Big Team persists through July. RBTB remains a double EXP hopper. Reduced weighting of Covies map variants. Increased weighting on Heavy CTF.

Social:

• Big Team Social – Covies map variants skip after veto.

Thank God.
