The 80s are back.

As a kid growing up in the 80s, I only wanted one thing: lasers in the background of my school pictures. Oh, and Lazer Tag. Yeah, two things. While my Mom never let me get the pictures (mine are all "Traditional"), my brother and I did eventually pick up a pair of these bad boys.

As the 80s faded into the 90s, my appetite for lazers went dormant; and was eventually replaced by L.A. Looks hair products.

Thankfully, Bungie redeemed my life this week, with their release of the Halo 3 beta. Check the vid- it looks more like an ELO concert than a game of Halo. It's good to know that some people still remember what it means to be Rad.
