As we all know, sooner or later the robots will rise and take over the world. We will be dominated by a super-intelligent global network (or “SkyNet” as I think of it) controlling a robotic army…

I’m not a fan of hoodies (the garment, not the people named after them. I don’t see the need for one when I have a coat, really). Nor am I a fan of Marc Ecko (I didn’t like Getting Up). Why am I writing about both of them? Because Halo 3: ODST came out, and [...]
