Halo Darkness my old Friend

When Angie and I were on vacation we visited the Mayan ruins of Tulum. They are breathtaking and strange, but as we wandered around I couldn't shake the feeling that I'd been there before. It took me a while to place it, but I realized that it felt like a mix of the Warlock and Sanctuary maps in Halo.

Which might explain why I found this ad so moving.

Between Halo 3 and a new baby, I will probably never be heard from again.

Also -we've just launched a site at work for a book called The Electric Church. Check it out. The book is all gunplay and cyborgs and bad religion. Which is to say sweet.
