  • Advanced Warfighter

    From HBO This video, created by MaritalBlaze54, mimics the Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter trailer as closely as possible in Halo 2.

  • Halo Screen Saver updated

    Would you like to use the Halo 3 Announcement Trailer as your screen saver?  Well, now you can!  I’ve updated my Halo Screen Saver to show WMV videos as well as QuickTime and MPEG videos.  You can also now set up a playlist of movies to show one after another.  Check it out at http://www.haloscreensaver.com/.

  • Clan Playing

    Over at Bungie.net, KP put up an item that explains how you can still get some clan action going, even though the Clan playlists on XBL have been dropped.

  • Pitiful, eh?

  • Podtacular gives Bungie a flying elbow smash

    WE WON! It was an awesome series of games and we all had a blast. The whole thing was recorded, so we’ll have a news story with screenshots sometime soon. It will probably be after Bungie releases their story of the match to respect Frankie’s mad writing skillz. We will probably release video highlights on…

  • Clanmatch Communities

    Now with Clanmatch removed from the playlists, some clans are very frustrated and tossing their controllers against the walls. Although, as long as Bungie allows clans to represent their social network by letting players have a clan name there is still a way to do Clanmatches!

  • Team SWAT’s what!

    After just 24 hours online, the new playlist Team SWAT has already eclipsed Team Snipers as the second most popular matchmaking playlist, and is within a hair’s breadth of beating Team Slayer, the most popular matchmaking playlist ever.

  • An unpleasant warning

    My local connection is having problems; the one of the routers here is seeing lots of errors. My service provider needs to do some ‘intrusive testing’ to nail down where the problem is; what that means for you is that everything on that connection will be offline from roughly 1 am eastern (5 am UTC)…

  • Halo 3 Documentary – now Mobile

  • Halo’s Golden Rule Episode 3

    A movie passed the MPRRS this morning – it actually passed for the second time. The first time, it passed the reviewers, but I refused to host it because the submitter had been part of a couple of plagiarism incidents in the not-too-distant past, and I wasn’t even willing to look at it. However, he…

  • Would That Make Her Katana?

    Today’s One One Se7en, riffing on a line from the Halo 3 trailer, made me laugh out loud. Then I smacked myself in the head with a board as penance for encouraging Stuntmutt. Go read.

  • The big night is here!

    We should be facing Bungie tonight in the humpday challenge. For those participating or available on standby, here’s the plan. It will start at 11pm EST. The 2nd and 3rd games will obviously start later. If you’re scheduled for those matches, keep in mind you’ll get an invite a while after 11pm. If you’re on…
