Halo Reach: Quick Thoughts
So, I’ve been playing Halo: Reach for about a week now. It’s been a blast and tomorrow the much anticipated Invasion play list opens up for general consumption. Until then I though I’d join the hundred thousands of others who’ve taken to blogging about their Reach experience. While it’s doubtful anyone from Bungie will read this (hell, none of the other contributors on OR even own a 36) I can dream, right? Let’s just say I can only hope my praise and criticism will reach someone the Bungie forums are a muck with fools.

Fullmetal Alchemist Chapter 106 (SPOILERS)
My thoughts on Fullmetal Alchemist chapter 106:
Sorry it’s taken me so long! In fact, chapter 107 should be out soon! Yeesh.
This chapter got a little trippy, which is nothing new after a few chapters ago when Father "swallowed God" or something of the sort. We get a bit of weirdness with Father creating people out of himself, no doubt from the souls encased in him, or maybe with the "God" he took into himself, as a distraction to the sacrifices fighting him. Also there was the bit where Ed "enters" Pride, which I guess is left to the imagination as to how. It seems a little too esoteric, even for FMA, and it sort of bothered me, to be honest.
