It’s Finaly Here - Halo 3 Review

Posted on September 25th, 2007 in eDrinker by Oliver.Cross

Yesterday I picked up a copy of Halo 3 and I couldn’t believe my luck to get it a day early. I put in a good couple of hours, even though I wish I could have played more. First of all the new HD graphics are amazing and it’s so easy to see where all the extra time and effort has been put in and especially since I’ve spent the last few weeks hyping myself by playing Halo 2. To really take advantage of Halo 3 and all its greatness you need to play this next generation game on a high definition TV. This time around you can see the grass blade tear up when you’re driving the Warhog right down to the covenant’s dead bodies floating on the surface of the water.

Almost instantly I noticed some really cool additions to Halo 3. First of all you will notice Bungie quite cleverly tweaked the layout of the control system. Now X which was once reload is now used to deploy equipment. These items have various effects and functions, ranging from defensive effects (Bubble Shield and Regenerator), or objects which blind or confuse the enemy (Flare and Radar Jammer), to ones which can actually harm and kill (Power Drainer and Tripmine). My personal favourite has to be the radar jammer, because you can drop this cleaver little ball and run round freely without having to crouch walk like a turtle. The overall experience of Halo 3 is smooth, sharp and action packed and just like Bungie they’ve kept the 3 golden rules of Halo: Grenades, Melee and Guns.

This morning I was very disappointed to see all the retarded posts on Game FAQs and on the official Bungie home page. There were so many posts stating how it was over hyped and how they hate the story line. If you do get the legendary product take the time to watch the making and you will see instantly how much effort and time was put in to this fantastic game, film, amazing experience. Here are just some of the most exciting parts I’ve experienced so far:

  • Being chased by a scarab with its own AI, not like the original one first seen in Halo 2
  • The hammer is one nasty weapon, nothing more satisfing that slamming the hammer in to a pile of grunts and watching them fly
  • Spartan laser, this weapon seriously rocks. Paint your target and 3 seconds later watch a huge beam of light turn it to rubble.
  • Massive battlefields
  • 4 player online co-op
  • New equipment that’s going to redefine online team game tactics
  • New AI, sometimes you can feel like the hunted and there is so much more I’ve yet to discover

Today the official online service are up, so tonight I’m going to give it a shot online. Personally I would easily give Halo 3 9/10 and if you don’t like it STFU, no one cares if you prefer the story line in Ratchet and Clank. Remember we’ve come a long way in computer games and believe it or not and Bungie have just raised a whole new bar for all other FPS to meet.

Love Bungie

About Page Updated

Posted on September 13th, 2007 in eDrinker by Oliver.Cross

I just wanted to set the site right by updating the About page.

People some time ask me why not just go to YouTube.com? Well just so you know if you haven’t tried, good videos are not so easy to find because a lot of the top viewed videos push the new ones to the back. I also watch videos from a lot of other sites to help share the fun. If you don’t believe just type “Funny” in YouTube.com and tell me if you’ve not seen the top video’s before.

Allow myself to introduce…. myself!?

Hello fellow e-drinkers,

I will be updating e-drinker in Oz’s absence.

I’m also from the UK and share an interest in all things humorous and alcoholic!

This is my first post so I thought it would be fitting to add a video of me in work.

I noticed someone one linking an image to my site rather than saving the file and hosting it themselves. Anyway because the image is hosted on my site I decided to change the image to the following banner:

Participants Needed For Research Studies

Research Studies

Drinks and Personality

Posted on June 6th, 2007 in eDrinker by Oliver.Cross

Seven New York City bartenders were asked if they could ‘nail’ a
woman’s personality based on what she drinks. Though interviewed
separately, they concurred on almost all counts.

The results:

PART A: WOMEN-DRINKS, WHO THEY ARE, & YOU!

Drink: Beer
Personality: Causal, low-maintenance; down to earth.
Your Approach: Challenge her to a game of pool.

Drink: Blender Drinks
Personality: Flaky, whiny, annoying; a pain in the ass.
Your Approach: Avoid her, unless you want to be her cabana boy.

Drink: Mixed Drinks
Personality: Older, more refined, high maintenance, has very picky
taste, knows EXACTLY what she wants.
Your Approach: You won’t have to approach her. If she’s interested,
she’ll send YOU a drink………………

Drink: Wine (does not include White Zinfandel)
Personality: Conservative and classy; sophisticated yet giggles.
Your Approach: Tell her you love to travel and spend quiet evenings
with friends.

Drink: White Zinfandel
Personality: Easy; thinks she is classy and sophisticated, actually,
she has NO clue.
Your Approach: Make her feel smarter than she is…this should be an
easy target.

Drink: Shots
Personality: Likes to hang with frat-boy pals and looking to get
totally drunk… and naked.
Your Approach: Easiest hit in the joint. You have been blessed.
Nothing to do but wait, however, be careful not to make her mad!

Drink: Tequila
No explanations required - everyone just KNOWS what happens there.

PART B: MAN-DRINKS & WHO THE MEN ARE!

THEN, there is the MALE addendum — The deal with guys is, as always,
very simple and clear cut:

Domestic Beer: He’s poor and wants to get laid.

Imported Beer: He likes good beer and wants to get laid.

Wine: He is hoping that the wine will give him a sophisticated image
to help him get laid.

Whiskey: He doesn’t give a damn about anything but getting laid.

Tequila: He is thinking he has a chance with the toothless waitress.

White Zinfandel: He’s gay
