    Over at Bungie.net, there’s a new article about Certain Affinity, a soon-to-be Bungie Spinoff; Max Hoberman, who’s been the multiplayer design lead for Halo 2 and Halo 3, has been hard at work with a hand-picked crew building the Halo 2 maps that will be released for 360 owners this spring. At some point soon,…

    Paul Maestri sends word that Halo Heads 33 is online – and I must say, it’s rather surreal. Not unpleasant… just odd.(Louis Wu 03:22:06 UTC)

    Say hello to our newest friends in the game development biz – Certain Affinity. This new team founded by ex-Bungie multiplayer lead Max Hoberman is hard at work on new Halo 2 maps and a full game of their own. Read on for the scoop!

  • RT: Saturday? Already?

    I woke up this morning and was getting in my car as I realized that it was Saturday, and I didn’t have to go to stupid work. I was back in bed in under 10 seconds. Wait…did I leave my car on? Oh well, whatever. Today’s comic answers the much asked question…”How…

  • RT: Halo 3 Trailer!

    Did you guys see the amazing Halo 3 Trailer last night during Monday Night Football? If not, you can get it on bungie.net, HBO, or on XBL Marketplace. I insist you go watch it right now. Then come back here and read today’s comic.

  • RT: Thursday Comic and Episode 85 Progress

    I’m taking a break from Episode 85 production (which is going smashingly so far) to throw up today’s comic. it’s obviously a continuation of Tuesday’s. Ok, that’s enough of a break. Back to work!

  • RT: Who’s got the fever?

    The fever for episode 85…? Sponsors. That’s who.

  • RT: Healthy Competition

    Today’s comic shows how Burnie and I got into the bitter mess that we’re currently in. He’s sitting stagnant at 15914 (like a bump on a log), while I’m right behind him, coming up on his heels like a fucking freight train with my 14481 coal-fueled points…

  • RT: Episode 85 Outbreak!

    RvB Episode 85: Yellow Fever is now spreading through the public like… well, like yellow fever. Sponsors have already been infected. If you’re not immune to awesome, you can get your dose of video contagion here.

  • RT: Bah Humbug

    Today’s comic is Gus in his purest form. If you ever wanted to know what it would be like to spend 2 minutes with him (although I can’t imagine you would), this pretty much sums it up. Are any of you going to the Child’s Play Charity Dinner Auction tomorrow…

  • New Strangerhood Soundtrack!!!

    You might have no idea who I am, but you’ve probably heard me. No, I’m not a secret character on RvB, I’m the guy who does music for RvB and PANICS; along with my band Trocadero, we did the RvB Soundtrack available at the RT Store. But this isn’t about…

    This popped up yesterday, but I forgot to mention it. Apparently, one of the UK sites that has been given a set of beta slots to give away to fans has decided to SELL those slots. Microsoft was not amused, and warned any site caught doing this would be cut off from all future Microsoft…

  • Alternating Blockbusters

    by

    in

    Red_Breast found a story at totally360.com (and 3Suns found a similar one at 2old2play) talking about a snippet in an upcoming issue of EGM – apparently, they’re claiming that Microsoft’s gameplan is to alternate Gears of War and Halo releases, to help stomp on Sony and Nintendo’s marketing buzz. The biggest problem with this gameplan…
