Looks like Zoso managed to guess it correctly! Friday’s haiku was indeed Halo! Well done — that seemed to stump a lot of folks.
Now for today’s haiku. It’s by me! Remember you can email me with your own if you want to feature.
Science drove him mad
So he had to declare war
On all animals
I think that’s appropriately vague enough!
Good luck everyone.
This is HaiTaku. We write haikus about old video games and leave it you to guess what game we’re talking about. If you want to submit a Haiku feel free. Send it here!

20 years later I can still hear that creepy opening line. Actual speech on the C64 was a pretty big thing for me.
It was a big thing for the company that made it, apparently they upped their prices quite a bit based on the reception of the voice sampling in the game
Destroy him my robots!
