After spending two hours with the Halo 5: Guardians campaign, I have a pretty good grasp on how the series has improved and what could have been done better. This is not an attempt to extrapolate a review out of my exceptionally limited time with the game, just an observation of what’s working and what’s not.

The next few months are going to be excruciating for Star Wars fans in the lead up to the release of The Force Awakens, but Lucasfilm isn’t completely without mercy.
Although we’ve heard bits and pieces about the story in the months following the release of the second trailer, a new video on the official Star Wars Facebook page might be my favorite thing the team has put together so far.

There’s nothing better than a Boston townie who completely lives up to every stereotype. Bostonian Michael Bergin went fishing last week when he spotted a large sun fish off the side of his boat. He proceeded to completely lose his mind about the creature and he referred to it alternatively as a “giant turtle,” a “baby whale,” a “tuna,” a “floundah” and, finally, a “monstah.” He also can’t seem to decide whether he wants to help the fish (“It needs help, dude, whatever it is, it’s dying!”) or to kill it (“We can get some big money from that if it’s a f—ing fish, man… let’s f—ing hook that s— and we’ll be on the f—ing news, man!”)

Following widespread condemnation, Turing Pharmaceuticals CEO Martin Shkreli on Tuesday night announced that he would make the AIDS drug Daraprim more affordable than the originally planned $750 per pill price point that elicited so much outrage earlier this week.
“There were mistakes made with respect to helping people understand why we took this action,” Shkreli told NBC News. “I think that it makes sense to lower the price in response to the anger that was felt by people.”

Now given some of the information that’s come to light about Shkreli’s previous antics, one can only hope that he isn’t simply trying to bide his time in the hopes that the story will blow over, only to announce a negligible reduction in price once the fast-moving news cycle has moved on to other issues.

It’s a terrifying kind of thrill, seeing a pilot safely land a plane in spite of inclement weather or faulty equipment, but nothing gets the blood rushing quite like an unplanned landing in the middle of traffic.
