<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Well, on the train ride home I was reading my new CGW and apparently Microsoft has locked down several game titles to be released exclusivly on the X-Box for 6 months before you will see them on the PS2, PC or DC. *crosses fingers* Please please please, let Halo be released for the PC.

EA cut Origin out of the bis last month. I think they've gone insane now. Apparently ex-employee Richard "Robin Hood" Garriot has been picking up the bastard children of the now defunk Origin Systems to start an un-named online gaming company.

I suggested that a few Dallas police officers give up on Soldier of Fortune and place Counter-Strike instead.</div>

Can't really blame EA, I liked the story to Ultima 9, but the game as a whole sucked my balls, and I've heard that he's crazy....for reals, like messed up in the head.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>...Garriot just left Origin but EA said they fired him. So he probably walked in and said "I quit." while his boss said "You can't quit, you're fired." thus fucking up any further jobs in the industry.</div>

And the reason U9 turned out like it did was because of EA's management fuck-ups, not Origin. And Garriot is kind of whacked. Anyone who owns a castle in Texas has to be whacked...</div>
