Cody Miller of HaloReachIsNotCanon.Net played the Destiny Alpha on PS4 last week and came on to talk about the footage with Blackstar and Narcogen. In this first segment we cover three areas of the game: character creation, a story mission, and the Tower.
Further segments later this week will show exploration, multiplayer, and a strike.
The Electronic Entertainment Expo was certainly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. It was a wonderful journey of seeing and experiencing new things, meeting new people and catching up with familiar faces. While the announcement of the Master Chief Collection was perhaps the biggest news, there were other things to be seen at E3. After the last day at E3, I decided to do a short recap podcast with Greenskull and Nak3d Eli about our E3 adventures this year. Huge thanks to 343 Industries for allowing me to go to E3 and have a truly breath-taking experience and I hope to see everyone again next year.
Every other Monday, we feature an individual who is a positive and active member of the Halo community. This week the spotlight turns to Snickerdoodle!
Question: What’s your gamertag and its origin?
Answer: I’m actually on my second gamertag. My original gamertag was a spin off a nickname I got in high school but I was wanting some change. I like baking and snickerdoodles are a personal favorite so “snickerdoodle” seemed like a good idea. My service tag is a throwback to my original tag so it’s still a part of me. 🙂
Q: Tell us about the first time you played Halo.
A: Haha oh man…So my dad had just come home from one of his deployments to Iraq or Afghanistan or somewhere and he’d played Halo downrange. My cousin got an Xbox for Christmas and my dad made me play some Combat Evolved with him and I was not a fan. I HATED it. I dreaded when dad would say “Hey, time to play some Halo!” because it just wasn’t fun for me.
Then I realized inverted controller settings were a thing and it was like a switched was flipped. Suddenly those endless games on Hang ’em High weren’t unbearable anymore. I could aim without trying to shoot myself in the feet or wildly the sky.
PS – I blame Goldeneye for my inverted settings. A girl never forgets her first FPS.
