Hey Monkey:

Just wondered if you could shoot me a quick email. I wanted to ask you a question without asking the rest of the internet.

Thanks!

Thanks Charles… I’ve begun reading your Halo stuff.

Interesting fact about the Xbox controller being used to control the military’s SUGV robot… couple of reasons for that. First, by designing the interface in XNA language, it makes it seamless from the user’s perspective to move from the training sims to the robot itself (since the interface designers need to use game design techniques to simulate real-world environments).

Secondly, the govt. only has to buy Xbox units instead of complete computers. Significant savings.

Hah! Monkey, I just did a series on gaming and here you are mentioning it as well.

I love the ‘ahh, the picture of nerd is complete’ comment – bet your bottom dollar that is applying to me as well.

Either that, or every guy out there might as well confess to being a ‘closet gamer’ in whatever spare time they have.

http://charlesjeter.com/2007/11/13/ <- beginning of Halo 3 articles. But the RSS feed will work just as well. I wrote them all a few weeks ago but just posted them today.

Enjoy!
