Happy Birthday Halo
Five years ago today, Halo shipped to eager Bungie fans and the unsuspecting masses of Xbox early adopters around the world. To commemorate this (and whet your appetite for whatever big news is to come later) Frankie has put up an Anniversary Panel of game journalists and fansite editors (including HBO’s own Louis Wu) to…

Curb Stompers
Heh – when I saw the title of the latest Halo Heads, I thought it would be Gears of War-related. Nope… it’s a shot at the PS3 availability… and the hubris of certain Sony execs. Funny stuff… unless you’re in line right now.(Louis Wu 19:41:44 UTC)

Bandwidth alternatives
Tol Eressea stopped by to point out that with Blogspot (or other free blogging sites) and Google Video (or, presumably, YouTube), you can set up a place to show off your better games to family and friends – and it doesn’t have to cost you a penny. The first post on Knights Templar (Live) is…

RT: 12 Step Program
Step 8 in the 12 steps to recovery is atonement. This one step alone should take Burnie about a year to complete. You should see the list that guy has to apologize for. Also, has anyone picked up Viva Pinata yet? I went to a local gamestore, and they’d never…

RT: Tense Situation
Tensions are escalating in the office over the “Pie Vs. Cake” argument. Insults have turned into threats, which have progressed to “promises”. Gus has to learn the truth about pie sooner or later – even if I have to make him learn. In…

Beating ’em at their own game
Rampancy.net noticed a quote in an Xbox.com article about Gilbert Arenas, of the Washington Wizards, in which he stated that he wanted to start modding his Xbox, to get revenge on the modders that are ruining his Halo 2 rankings. Hookay…(Louis Wu 15:54:35 UTC)

WikiRiot – Down, for Now
We got a note from Sigafoos – apparently, WikiRiot has been cancelled, and the site has been pulled down. There’s no explanation for what happened on the halowiki.net website, but it sounds like it wasn’t pretty. Sigafoos wanted to assure everyone, however, that they would be continuing their podcast in a non-wiki format, beginning this…

An Appropriate Number
1Up continues their “three weeks of Halo 3” online series to accompany their chocked-with-Halo 3-goodness December issue. The latest addition is a Humpday Challenge writeup where Bungie cheats and multiplayer lead Tyson “Ferrex” Green graciously stops at the appropriate number of 7 kills to leave 1Up with some self-esteem. Just not much.
