    XBWFeenix went to the Video Games Live show in London this weekend, and shakey-cammed the Halo 3 theme performance. (He had a press pass, but the attendant didn’t understand – hence the subterfuge.) Link is in his forum post.(Louis Wu 19:31:55 UTC)

    With the holidays on their way, and about 3 billion awesome video games (and two new systems) to spend your money on, you’ll probably have to get a second, third, and possibly fourth job just to try and keep up. Or if you’re lazy, you could take Jason’s…

    Everyone who owns a Mac has to know that deep down inside, you are unholy. The ease of use, the simple yet elegant design…you’re practically laughing in God’s face. I mean, one mouse button, seriously. Consider today’s comic a warning.

    If you’re up this late, you’re probably horribly addicted to Viva Pinata the way that I am. Perhaps Episode 84 of Red vs Blue can help you with the withdrawl symptoms. It just went up in our Sponsor archive, so if you have one of those fancy little stars…

    Did everyone get fat? I gained 17 lbs just on dessert. Anyway, I’ll be quick as I have to go hit the gym and try and lose some of this pie-thigh. Today’s comic is below, and of course Episode 84 is still out and available for sponsors. Look for a public…

    Something Awful posted major plot points from Halo 3, just to spoil you. Funny, but not particularly polite. (Careful who’s reading over your shoulder.) Thanks to Narcogen at Rampancy.net for the heads-up.(Louis Wu 17:08:02 UTC)

    Last night, over at the Red vs Blue website, Episode 84, ‘Strong Male Figure’, was posted for sponsors. Tucker learns about being a dad, and the Red Team gets used to their new commander. I don’t like Simmons any more.(Louis Wu 17:02:43 UTC)

    Interesting article at Gamesindustry.biz – a discussion of what qualifies as ‘mainstream’ or ‘mass market’, and how those things got to where they are. Halo is held up as an example of a video game that has reached far beyond its normal target audience, with some speculation as to why. Thanks, deftangel.(Louis Wu 16:11:14 UTC)
