danrhine.com

danrhine.com has a new face! I’ve started using a service called flavors.me and it’s working great. It’s basically a landing page for all my other content scattered about the inter-webs. This should make things much easier in regards to keeping information up-to-date.

Take a look and let me know what you think!

rhinephotography.com will be the next site to get a face-lift, probably in the upcoming weeks (it needs a lot more design work, rebuilt from the ground up, should be fun).

First Impressions - Halo: Reach Beta (Xbox 360)


I had TWO first impressions with the game.

At first, it really wasn’t working for me. It seemed like Halo was trying to be Call of Duty. My first couple of games were chaotic and messy. Nothing felt right.

Then, we found the fun.

After getting elbow deep into it, the mechanics start to make sense and it DOES feel like Halo. There are a couple of weird decisions that I hope are taken care of before the game ships (really, did the controls need to be different from EVERY other Halo game made before) but I think there is a very good game here.
