No, seriously. It was made and demoed, but unfortunately it will never reach the stores (or the majority of living things). Matt Casamassina from IGN proved that it was a real game. What I am trying to figure out though, is if it has been leaked anywhere. If it has, that may just be the motivation I would need to risk hacking my DS. I would have already, but I am worried about frying it. That would be not so cool :-/ I know the Halo idea will never and would never have gone over with Microsoft. They have no reason to let one of their "babies" on to a competitor's system. Still, the thought of playing Halo on a DS is just so awesome.
I may get into playing Diablo II again. Turns out my little sister just started playing. And even though I live in the sticks and have dial up, I can still play it OK. I used to like creating sorceresses. Those were probably my favorite. And I sort of miss running through 5,000+ cows and seeing if I could kill them all off on my own :)

Concert
Well I started a post over the weekend, but my computer decided it would be a good time to randomly shut off, so here I am making another attempt. The concert was good - in fact, my uncle is *still* talking about it. Had I known he would have enjoyed it so much, I would have gotten better seats. He really loved the show. They do sound great live - and Eddie brought along his son, Wolfgang so that he could have a chance to tour & play guitar with him. Lets just say that it was cute and all, but he certainly isn't his dad!
That was the concert. Getting to the concert was a mess. Now, I think that Google is a rather neat company, and I've even made joking remarks about how they're going to take over the world. Except for Google Maps. I've used Google Maps before, and they've been horribly wrong. Not just a turn or two off, but exceptionally terrible. It had been a few years since that incident, so thinking they may have gotten things straightened out, I printed them out to Cleveland. My uncle knew how to get there, but looking at the directions, they looked much shorter by Google, so we went with those. Big mistake. The 1 1/2-2 hour drive to Cleveland ended up being over 2 1/2 hours. We arrived just 10 minutes before the show started (and that was with cutting off the long line waiting for the garage - by accident. Seriously.)
All in all it was fun. But I'm officially boycotting Google Maps!

Van Halen tomorrow
Tomorrow is the Van Halen concert already! It seems like just yesterday I ordered the tickets. I also found out who the opening act is too. It's Bob Marley's son,Ky Mani, which is a great disappointment to my uncle, but on the other hand, not so much for me :). I have a very diverse liking of music. In fact, I love reggae. If he throws in a few of his dad's hits like he did in the previous shows, it'll be really cool. I'll have to leave work early tomorrow because the show is at 7:30 and uncle insists on getting there 1 hour before it starts, as he always does for concerts. That on top of a 2 hour drive.
Then this past weekend John and I were throwing around the idea of going to see Halloween, the new movie by Rob Zombie. But it wasn't playing anywhere that we could find. I'm thinking it must have done pretty bad at the box office, because last we looked it was a new release. So instead we decided to rent a movie - and end up with Shawn of the Dead. John ultimately just thought it was weird, and although I found it to be weird too, I also like British humor. So it was sort of amusing to me. There were parts I thought were really funny that he just didn't. I'm still evaluating what my overall rating would be, but it's something I'd probably watch again. It's something you should at least give a chance to if you like British humor :)
