Since I gave you a joke/skit thing, you now mu st give me something. I recently purchased an aloe vera plant from Home Depot and guess what, I have no clue how to take care of it. So...
Please dig up any information possible on the care of an aloe vera plant. How often to water it, what kind of fertilizer to give it, how much light it likes, etc. Do this, and I will be most pleased. Don't do it, and I shall wreak a terrible curse upon you and your children for all eternity. Seriously, just do it or not, I don't care, but at least one person has to do it. Gracias!
And now for the greatest announcement all day. Drumroll, please....
The brains at Ensemble Studios (the guys who brought you Age of Empires, one of my favorite games ever) have started working on one of those games that make you go "AWESOME!!!" They have started something so incredible, so amazing, so obvious yet so cool. That game is Halo Wars. They made a Halo RTS!!
For those of you not "in the know", an RTS is gamespeak for real-time strategy game. There are two types of strategy games in the universe: turn-based and real-time. As you might guess, turn-based is very similar to chess but with tanks. You and your opponent take turns to demolish each other or run away like a little girly-man. While it may take more brains, I consider turn-based games to be unnecessarily long and tedious. So I prefer RTS games such as Age of Empires. Age of Empires involves using villagers to build a city and then an army even while your opponent is doing the same. Once you have the fightingest army you can build, you lay seige to your opponent's city and then kill every man, woman, child, and dog to win. Or you can just build a Wonder, whatever you feel like. Now that you get the idea, (I hope) we can get on to the game. Halo Wars will be coming out for the Xbox 360, the awesomest game system in the awesomest market on the awesomest planet in the awesomest universe. It's plot is set before the events of Halo 1, and is about a group of marines marooned somewhere with those pesky Covenant doing all they can to beat the living snot out of these guys. It's too early to say more, but I can guarantee you Halo Wars is gonna rock the world.
