The
Destiny Website now offers the promised first details about Bungie's upcoming mystery game. This will be a first-person shooter, but our hopes that Bungie's emancipation from Microsoft might lead them towards the light of the PC (the proper platform for FPS games) are dashed for the moment by word that this is coming to
Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, promising: "Unprecedented variety of FPS gameplay, including story, cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes combined with public and social activities." This will be an online game, and there are previews on
Wired.com (thanks Neutronbeam) and
Kotaku outlining Bungie's ambitions for this project. Here's
a trailer.
Steam forums and
Mod DB have indications that a recent
Half-Life update may have broken mod support in Valve's first-person shooter. This originates from the creators of the Cry of Fear mod, and there are
a couple of
threads about support for that mod, and according to their post, the problem seems to impact other mods, and a fix may be out of their hands: "We're not sure if we can release a hotfix for these problems, since it's a lot of changes made to the engine that causes it." Thanks
Ant.

We went off to Brooklyn to get together with family this Sunday and had a lovely time. We were in the vicinity of our favorite deli, but decided to forego the opportunity to pick up some pastrami to bring home. That restraint seemed like a good idea at the time, but I'm already suffering with regrets. Better than suffering indigestion, I suppose, but now I would have liked to have risked it. Lesson learned for next time, I guess.
