No one likes The Man. All he does is sit up in his tower and tell us what we can’t do. “No, Mitch, you can’t play tag with trucks on the interstate,” or “No, Mitch, you can’t light furniture on fire,” or “No, Mitch, you can’t perform open-heart surgery.” The Man is the reason there isn’t a system of ziplines across campus to get us to our classes and the reason The Bear Olympics isn’t a thing. The Man is smart though, and one thing he does let us do is publicly oppose him.

On its opening day, “Halo 4” earned $220 million globally, making it easy to see why gamers recognize Halo as one of the most beloved franchises in video game history. When the previous developers, Bungie, announced they would no longer be working with “Halo,” it left many fans of the franchise concerned for furture installations. Bungie ended its run with the franchise on “Halo Reach” and passed the torch to 343 Industries, effectively entrusting these new developers with Microsoft’s most valuable franchise. Not only did 343 bring new life to the series but they did it without spoiling the saga Bungie had already left behind.

Few entertainment franchises enjoy the widespread recognition that “Halo” has achieved. The latest installment, “Halo 4,” marks a new era for the series as the first release from 343 Studios, the company charged with taking over for the legendary development studio Bungie. With this impending transition, it seemed like the perfect time to reflect on the history of this incredibly influential video game series.

As with most beloved series, Transformers’ continued popularity depends primarily on the devotion of its initial fan base that emerged with the inception of the series.

2011 will forever go down as one of the best years in gaming
history. Fantastic titles such as "Arkham City," "Skyrim" and
"Portal 2" all brought amazing experiences into gamers' lives, but
that's no reason to scoff at the promising lineup coming in 2012.
Here are my ten most anticipated titles of the year:

Are there any genuine men out there? I’ve had female friends
complain that all men are manipulative creatures who always have
some type of hidden agenda, and I have found myself constantly
coming to the defense of the male species. No longer will I do
this. For now, I agree. Never trust a man with a smile and never
give his small talk the time of day.

If you've experienced the barrage of ads for Infinity Ward's
newest shooter, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare,"" you've already
heard the most important concept to remember - ""Wars change.
Soldiers don't."" The game moves the series from the familiar World
War II into modern day military combat. However, the essence of the
game remains intact.

I recently decided to major in communication arts, specifically
communication science and rhetorical studies. I came to this
decision after I signed up for Communication Arts 272:
Interpersonal Communication. It counted for Comm-B and the
description sounded intriguing, so I thought, ""Why not improve my
communication competence? I'm sure future employers will appreciate
any powers of persuasion or feigned interest I acquire out of this
class."" Little did I know this class would zero-in on all of the
things I do everyday without realizing it.

Whenever I listen to a Kurt Vile album, I am reminded of a line
from his song ""Slow Talkers."" He makes the small complaint,
""Everyone I know / Talks to me way too slow / I lose track of what
they say / Before they walk away."" The line sounds almost like a
premonition in light of his musical career, because, ironically,
Vile doesn't seem to heed his own criticism. It was this
slow-talker line of reasoning that plagued his almost-impressive
major label debut Childish Prodigy. That album, despite
being filled with harrowing chord progressions and hook-filled
vocal melodies, was elongated to the point that listeners reached
for the next button before each song had reached its intended
end.

The first basketball blog I ever followed was written by Gilbert
Arenas. He didn't talk about basketball very much, and most of what
I remember is when he would talk about video games. He officially
sponsored a professional ""Halo"" team named Final Boss that
competes in national tournaments all over the place, and he was
especially honored when selected to grace the cover of ""NBA Live
‘08.""

Today's tough economic times have left business firms in the
gutter. With these titans of industry failing, who inherits the
earth? Answer: Geeks, nerds, dweebs, whatever you may call them.
They are the inquisitive, usually socially inept subpopulation of
the world. This is a fact of life that even the most moronic
members of society understand. Geeks are the most important natural
resource the world has ever known. Without them gravity would be
nothing more than a shitty John Mayer song, and earth would still
be flatter than an emaciated Nicole Richie. As important as geeks
are today, they've got it rough, thought of as nothing more than
that four-eyed square/possible serial killer that breathes really
hard behind you in biology class. Well, I'm here to tell you you're
lucky he's breathing, ‘cause some day he'll solve global warming
and cure AIDS in his spare time after a tiring ""World of
Warcraft"" binge. Everyone knows it's possible to succeed in law or
business without using the majority of your brain, and if that's
your slice of pie, fine. Just remember that the DNA sequence in
that blood or semen sample and that fancy Palm Pilot you stroke
during the night alone in your fancy hotel aren't being crapped out
of thin air by the science fairy.

There is an invisible menace on the doorstep of
the UW-Madison campus, one that will undoubtedly harm you quicker
than a bath with a couple of high-voltage toasters. I am speaking
of course about H1N1, or as my medically challenged brethren and I
call it, the swine flu. Incredibly, I happened to attend a lecture
last week and was formally warned by my professor of the peril that
lies ahead for students here in Madison. I've always been a sickly
bastard (my grade school nurse and I frequently enjoyed lunch
together), so naturally my timid immune system and I were upset by
this news. After scrubbing down my hands on account of a day of
doorknob onslaught, I decided it would be prudent to seek the
infinite wisdom of the Internet for ways to avoid becoming just
another statistic.
