So recently I have discovered an old passion of mine. Something that is very familiar and I have fond childhood memories of. One of the very first things I used to seek out in the mall on every trip by the arcade. Pinball.

My story with pinball starts simple. Fascinating with the blinking lights and quarters to burn. I was hooked the very first time I played, and have always gone back to the game over the years. So my recent purchase of Pinball FX2 for the Arcade makes quite a bit of sense. Four tables to enjoy myself on, others that I will purchase later on down the road (read: not poor).

Playing through the tables, I noticed a trend amongst my friends list on Live. Not many of my friends actually play that game it seems. A shame, because a good game of pinball is easy to squeeze in before work. Peggle as well, but let’s not delve into that today.

I am curious how many of the AMMIH readers have even a slight passion for the game. Better yet, a good story to tell. I’m sure someone has a story better than mine which involves drunken people shouting in my ear while attempting to beat the latest high score. While you ponder on your own history with pinball, here’s a video that should explain a seemingly random choice in titles.

Last week I came across an announcement on B.net stating they are no longer going to be hosting Halo related material after March 31, 2012.

No Halo

When Bungie finally announced that they were releasing Halo to Microsoft, I had a sadface. I could imagine this was like giving birth to a child, raising it passed cognitive development, then giving it to another home. Now what this image above says to me is that Bungie is now putting all documents and photos in a shoebox in storage… Only to be found in the future… bringing fond memories… and crying.

I have over 100 Screenshot Sundays posted with links that lead to Bungie’s archive. I’ve asked around to find out if these links will still be active behind the scenes, but have had no definitive answer surface. So, in fear of having to remove every single link after next month I will not be posting Screenshots until I work this issue out. I will leave them up and re-link to the rooted files. I’ll keep the links up, but will no longer be trying to find shots from their site. I’m not going to poke at a wound they are trying to heal.
