More Halo 3 Screenshots - Flamethrower And Firebombs Reign
A few more Halo 3 screen shots have been released. This time they depict Master Chief wielding the infamous Flamethrower. There’s also a new incendiary grenade called the Firebomb. Both weapons are guaranteed to have the Hola faithful liking their chops and prepping to lay out of work the week of September 25th.
The flamethrower does things that just weren’t possible in Halo 2. This is, more or less, a living flame. “If you shoot a pillar, the liquid in the flamethrower will adhere to it and burn there,” O’Connor explained. “Likewise with the floor and with bad guys. It will cause continual damage to a vehicle. When the flames start to cool down and evaporate, it stops causing damage. If you’re lucky enough to keep it on a Warthog, then you will in fact take it down with a flamethrower.”
Shoemoney Done Pissed Off The Rich Jerk
Talk about ruffling some feathers, this is actually pretty funny. Remember a couple of days ago Shoemoney posted The Rich Jerk was selling out for $8M? Well, he also mentioned that a credible source told him the reason was to avoid bankruptcy. Well today, The Rich Jerk sent Shoe a Cease and Decist email along with a threat of legal action for slander. The whole thing is actually pretty funny, the business indeed appears to be up for sale and Shoemoney states pretty darn clearly it’s all speculation until Felix speaks up about it.
What I find most humorous is the ease at which people, regardless of stature, sling the statement “I’ll be sending a team of lawyers” or just “a lawyer” around. Not to mention the fact Felix was offered a chance to reply, to set the record straight if you will, but instead chose to send yet another legal threat. I don’t get it, it’s like we’ve become such a trained society that the mere mention of getting a lawyer involved makes one right.
Anyway, go check out the email, Shoe’s response and Felix’s response. Personally, I hope he does sue Shoemoney and since we all know Shoe couldn’t possibly afford the expense I say we all send our garbage (err.. eBooks) back to Clickbank for a refund and send that money to the Shoemoney Defense Fund. Lawyers, give me a friggin break! Have a nice day.
Want A Better Nights Sleep? Sleep Naked!
Ran across this little gem over on Boing Boing today. Personally I think this is hilarious, I don’t know why, seems kind of odd this whole mentality would need to be promoted but apparently the founder of sleepnaked.org feels the need to educate people on the benefits of sleeping in the buff. The author points how sleeping nude is more comfortable and makes for more relaxed sleep, so unless you have some moralistic objection to sleeping the way nature intended jump on over to sleepnaked.org and check out what your missing.
If you sleep with a partner, being naked heightens the level of intimacy between you, and you are likely to have sex more often. You may also feel closer to your partner as a result of sleeping naked with them. There is also evidence of improved fertility in men as a result of being in cooler conditions thanks to wearing less clothing.
If you find yourself tired in the morning or during the day even though you’ve had at-least eight hours sleep, you may only be sleeping lightly for that period of time. As mentioned earlier, sleeping naked allows your body to relax more immediately, and you are more likely to fall into a deeper sleep more quickly and wake up refreshed.
Air Force Strips Playboy’s Drill Sergeant Of Her Stripes
Now a former Staff Sgt. in the U.S. Air Force, Michelle Manhart has been demoted for appearing in a six page Playboy spread. The issue hit newsstands back in January and Manhart was immediately relieved of her duties pending an investigation. On Wednesday, she was removed from active duty and demoted to a senior airman. Manhart a 30 year old mother of two, was photographed both partially and fully nude, in uniform, holding weapons and yelling. The spreads title was “Tough Love”.
Manhart says she is “disappointed in our system” and that “They went to far with it.” Currently her status is up in the air. Apparently, having been removed from extended active duty, she’s returned to National Guard status. There is no word on whether the military will seek to formally discahrge her for conduct. So here’s the question.
Forget the spouse, I’m married to the computer
At least according to a recent survey by Kelton Research that indicates the majority of Americans spend way more time on their personal computers than they do with their spouse or significant other. Out of of 1001 adults, an astonishing 65% said their computer got more attention that their spouse and 84% we’re more dependent on their computers today than they were just three years ago.
“As computers become increasingly pervasive in our lives, our relationships with them can begin to seem almost as important as a relationship with a significant other. When problems then occur with the computer, it often leaves people feeling frustrated or helpless,” said tele-therapist Dr. Robi Ludwig in a press release by support.com, which commissioned the survey.
Wow.. how true is this? I guess it’s a good thing my computer knows how to send flowers. What do you think?
