  • RT: The gripping conclusion

    I present to you, dear reader, the gripping conclusion to Thursday’s Comic. The apostrophe, while grammatically correct, leaves me feeling as if Thursday owns that comic. I’m here to tell you that he or she does not. Talk about self importance. Also, just in case you aren’t a LOST fan, the dudes and dudettes in…

  • AH: Quick Note: Respawn Radio records live tonight.

    Just wanted to give the heads up that Episode 18 of Respawn Radio is going to be recorded live on AHTV tonight at 8 PM PT/ 11 PM PT. We’ll see you there, and of course, the podcast and live recording will be posted this Tuesday just in time to prepare for the PAX festivities…

  • Halo 3 Achievements: Orig vs Mythic

    FyreWulff whipped up another chart – this one compares Halo 3 Achievements you can get with and without buying Halo 3: ODST.

    There’s been a lot of footage released recently showing off gameplay on the three new Mythic maps that are coming with Halo 3: ODST – but one of the big complaints has been that press representatives aren’t exactly the best Halo players out there. Complain no more – 8 top MLG Pros got their game…

  • How do you guys kill the freakin’ hunters?

    If you missed the live stream of ODST Firefight played by pros and a few fans at MLG Dallas last night, you can find the match on YouTube today (Part 1 | Part 2) – looks like pros are better against live opponents than they are against AIs. (Walshy gets totally owned by a suicide…
