Commanders in Chief

There is certainly no denying that one of the most successful franchises of all time is that of Halo.  And I don't just mean video games.  I mean as an entire franchise.  Halo has become royalty among other legendary video game franchises, just like Mario or Zelda.  It's instantly recognizable, instantly playable by any gamer of this day, and for the most part, gamers love it.  The Halo franchise has always been one where gamers have always been satisfied with the product.  After the initial trilogy that started it all ended in late 2007, Bungie became an independent studio, wanting to have more liberty to create new IP's when the time came.  The next year and a half resulted in a spinoff title, Halo 3: ODST, and a new and final game will be arriving this fall entitled Halo: Reach.  Bungie is dedicated all they have to this last title, throwing every single thing they can think of at it.  But after Reach, Bungie will be done with Halo.

A New Day.

Welcome friends.  Let's get something straight first: I didn't really want to change my blog at first.  I liked the whole website-esque thing I had going on.  But I had some very vivid realizations about blogging that alluded me to the future of this blog.  But first, let me show you the first of one of the best additions to my blog, and that's page jumps.  Yes, blogger has finally allowed me to shorten the actual length of my blog on the home page and just show you the introduction.  It's much better looking to start as it makes the site look like something appealing rather than a super long list.  Secondly, it allows readers to actually browse my recent posts without having to scroll for ages.  Anyway, just click the link below here and we'll get the rest of this post going!
