Fox's Den is a Monday through Friday place where I talk about video games; but more importantly it's also my novel update center. Here I'll be posting status updates and release dates for my Book [Books]. The first book you can look forward to is a Science Fiction Series called "ROAM" Which is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Lulu.com.

Bang Bang....You're Derezzed.
<------ [Super Scope = Super Awesome]
The Super Scope was a hit for a few reasons.
* 1 it was a GUN!
* 2 it shot the little birdies you just hated on that old Duck Hunt game.
* 3 it was a GUN!
"But Fox!" You say, "You said GUN Twice!" [Yes well.... I like Guns....]
Aside from the trip down memory lane. (Trips on a bar labeled "Memory Lane") [You know, if your not going to get my jokes, we should just stop hanging out.... if you did get the joke, Hooray! *High-fives*]
Playstation is using the brain, they've picked up on the Awesome that the Super Scope was and brought the masses a true re envisioning of a video game Gun.
Here's the Link for the JoyStiq page with the info.

P.S. IT WAS A GUN!

"Dear Luke, - I did your mom. - Sincerely, Darth Vader"
<------ [ This is a letter, not like the letter "B" or the other 25 other letters, but a "Letter" something you write on and then send to some one else. Through the mail.]
[No... I did not just explain a letter to you. No don't look at me like that, phhh you weird. You're seeing things... And, you've been eating onions.]
. ||
I got on to this site after my Best friend fired a few of these at me. [See Example Below] V
"Dear, The Past;
There are NO flying cars, but we have really kick-ass phones.
Sincerely, The Future."
[Also, this one]
"Dear Noah,
I thought you said PARK "Meet at the PARK?!"
Sincerely, Dinosaurs"
The Website is. www.dearblankpleaseblank.com
It's got some funny ones. (I.E. "Dear Micheal Jackson. - I'm fine, Thanks for asking. - Sincerely, Annie.)
[And because this is my Blogg, and I can. Here's one more)
"Dear Milk,
Please don't wait until I get to the bottom of my bowl of cereal to let me know you've gone bad...
Sincerely, I can't believe I ate the whole thing." <----- [Eww, Gross...funny, but. gross.]

Do the Math, Blow Some Minds
<------- {Oh the complicated number OOOH!]
This is just a quick burst from my end tonight. Don't miss "Blue Bloods" on Channel 11 at 9:00pm central. That's the new cop show with Tom Selleck and Donnie Donnie Wahlberg. Don't miss it!
Now for the original intent behind tonight's post.
They just can't help one upping people, even themselves!
[Keep it Clean!] -------------->
Bungie dropped an updated list of figures based on what they've seen us doing with their new game.
- "On Tuesday, 09/14/2010 at approximately 1:30 pm PST, just a few hours after launch, Halo: Reach’s online unique user count had already completely eclipsed Halo 3’s total tally for the entirety of the week (09/13 through 09/20).
- To account for the same number of online players found in Halo: Reach during that same window (just six days), They had to run the numbers for Halo 3 going all the way back to 8/6/2010, encompassing a full 45 days of Halo 3 play!
- Ultimately, Halo: Reach’s online population for the first week dwarfed Halo 3’s by comparison, snagging four times the number of total unique users and decimating Halo 3’s all time high of concurrent users by more than 65%.
And, of course, the requisite numerical absurdities:
- 70 Million+ Games have been played
- 235 Million+ Player-Games have been played
- 2 Million+ Files have been uploaded to File Shares
- 5,901 man-years have been spent in online Reach games (sorry, Corporate America!)
- 20 Million Daily challenges have been completed
- 709,840 Weekly challenges have been completed
- 165 Billion Credits have been earned"
They're so good, they're spanking themselves! What do you do when your so Awesome you make yourself look bad, by making yourself look so, so good! [Don't try to figure that out, I stopped once the headaches kicked in. I'm doing you a favor...really.]
And that concludes my broadcast night. Good'night!

Book'em Danno
<----- [One word. Awesome]
So Hawaii 50 returned yesterday and it was great. My Dad, a watcher of the original enjoyed the new take on a classic. I enjoyed it very much.
Most of the fall line-up is kicking in, and the good ol'tube is warmed up for a good run. Don't miss the good schtuff on air!
A movie that might be good, maybe you should write up your opinion in the comments below....maybe.

It's short, it's sweet, and it's my post! I can make it how'ever long I want. Besides, I hear HALO: Reach a call'n! See you later or on the battle field, but I'll see you!

Glassed from the Past.
[HALO - Reach is set before the event of the original game, HALO: Combat Evolved.]
<-------- {Ahhhh sweet!]
September 14th has come and gone, HALO: Reach is in the hands of millions of players at the kill count is rising at an alarming rate. I finished the campaign, the main story, and it was truly something else. As if I didn't already expect it, the music was phenomenal and just as good as I could have hoped. Even better in some places. It had the right edge to it, really something.
In other topics I got a quote from my Dad today. I wanna know your thoughts on it. Here is a copy of the contents of said email.
---------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes you are encouraged about our country's future when you see something like this -
Specifically, there is an annual contest at Texas A&M University calling for the most appropriate definition of a contemporary term. This year's term was "Political Correctness."
The winner wrote:
"Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."
---------------------------------------------------------
Yup,

Zero Hour.
[Yeah, awesome.]
[This is some serious artwork, done Sam Spratt style, a major fan of Bungie. The link to his page is below, have a look at some of the variations of this work that he's done.]
[Sam's personal McLinky] http://kotaku.com/5636187/remember-reach-with-this-nifty-wallpaper
"So this is it. The Countdown ends tonight. Come the wee hours of Tuesday morning the world will light up
with combat. I'll be there, in the thick of it, where will you be? -
HALO Reach. TONIGHT!!" -Fox
This is Bungie's gift to their fans, that's right, to us baby! It's going to be a world wide HALO marathon that will have us all reminiscing about the good old LAN parties of HALO: Combat Evolved.
Grab some Mountain Dew, get your Skittle on, and fire up your Xbox. It's game night! See you out there, SPARTANs.
