ARGs taken out of context…
Wow. An image that surfaced during the IRIS ARG last year is back in the news – AOL wonders if it’s a real UFO sighting. (Hint: no.) Thanks, DKTH3puma.(Louis Wu 16:42:59 UTC)

The internet makes people meaner.
Last week, I asked for stories from couples that game together, or that met while gaming. (It seems that submissions to that thread have dwindled; I guess it’s time to start thinking about compiling the info into a story…) On the other side of that issue is this kind of thing. People have always groused…

RT: Boo Hoo

Today’s comic is as much about the majority of wimps in Austin as it is Gus. Apparently when a mommy tree and a daddy tree make love, pollen is released, which like 90% of the losers in town are allergic to. And I guess it’s been a pretty sexy year, as the…

As Sold by Sharper Image
Speaking of children, Elnea’s posted Halo Action Figure Theater 140 – and even as the pretty blue lady is expounding on the mystical properties of the hammer, John is… oh, never mind. Go read it if you want to stoop to her level.(Louis Wu 19:17:01 UTC)

Team SWAT is back this weekend.
A lot of you noticed that the Team SWAT playlist was cut short last weekend; it wasn’t available on Sunday. To make up for it, they’re bringing it back THIS weekend (again as a double EXP playlist). It’s live at 2pm PDT (a bit over 2 hours from now). Have fun, XerxdeeJ! Monday, the MLG…

Consequences – Pilot
FireDragon04 stopped by to announce that Episode One – Pilot of his new machinima, ‘Consequences: Hyperions Vengeance’, is now available for download. Swing by his website for links. Characters are great, voice acting is (mostly) great, story is a little hard to follow. (Mostly because the hologram is completely unintelligible, I think.) Quality is a…

It is the east and Juliet is the sun!
Hawty McBloggy’s now-traditional (if by ‘traditional’ you mean ‘going strong after 5 weeks’) Friday Caption Fun feature has results from last week, and a new screen for you to caption. Just don’t take mine.(Louis Wu 13:59:58 UTC)

Halo: another view
I thought this writeup of Halo 3’s good and bad points (more bad than good, according to the writer) was interesting just because of how differently we interpreted parts of the game. The writer found the opening level of Halo to be claustrophobic, plodding, and badly paced – I found it to be nearly the…
