Instead, it’s throwing all five games in the collection, along with Halo: Reach, over to Steam. In other news, we’ve just received word that Hell is starting to look a little frosty today. Validating long-time rumors that the collection would find its way onto Windows, Microsoft revealed the news via Inside Xbox. In addition to the main collection, which includes Halos 1–4 and Halo 3: ODST, the company also threw in Halo: Reach. So, you know… just the basics. The games will be released…

All I can do is chuckle and think “these people aren’t sitting in first class either,” as I join them to top off my phone before takeoff. What we need is a power bank. Like this 13,000 mAh wireless-capable, USB-C 60W one from Omnicharge, the Omnimobile 13000, for example.
