Until about three minutes ago, I was very excited for the PC release of Halo 2. I love Halo. The universe is interresting, the AI is excellent, and the Master Chief is one of the coolest game characters ever. Especially if you consider his awesome-to-dialogue ratio. He’s second only to Gordon Freeman.
Three minutes ago, I was going to pre-order this Cadillac of games when I read the whole ad. “Requires Windows Vista to play.” And the Anger Juice flowed…
How dare they! I’ve been looking forward to this for forever. Now I have to buy a new OS to play! I see their mind. They could have released this earlier, but since it’s an X-Box game (and therefore Microsoft) they coordinated it with the release of Vista. The man is deliberately bleeding me dry. There are days I wish I had the M4d Skillz neccesary to circumvent this annoyance, but if I did I’m sure I’d end up having an “accident” invloving me falling down the stairs onto some baseball bats. For now all I can do is yell and scream.

Okay, no more letting microsoft buy bunjee. Or any other game company for that matter.
Looks like you can/will play this and any other DX10 title in XP after all.

Nice work, Ryan! Now if only you could teach us how to have multy-TTY Emacs on Gentoo and Ubuntu…. Whatever that gobledygook means…
Imagine that! I’ve already written a tutorial on that *exact* topic: http://www.enigmacurry.com/2007/05/24/multi-tty-emacs-on-gentoo-and-ubuntu/
You and me must be on the same wavelength or something my friend.
I don’t speak your crazy moon-language! I do however understand the part about the carnage becoming a reality.
