Heavenly maps and nail-biting gameplay
The Halo Humpday Challenge was, once again, internal, and Halo 3-based, rather than Halo 2. KP teases you with tidbits of gameplay for a game you won’t see for a while… and gets in a shot or two at his boss. Fun writeup, as usual, as long as you can get past the envy. Thanks,…

Carnage for the Rest… of your clothes.
IceWeasel noticed that you can now buy the Carnage symbol at the Bungie Store – but it’s no longer a sticker, now it’s an iron-on patch. At $3, you should buy a couple; they’d look great on backpacks.(Louis Wu 18:12:10 UTC)

MLG TV – lots of teasers
Bunch of new video content over at MLGPro.com – you’ll find some gameplay stuff linked from Foulacy’s blog, and a nice feature on Dave “Walshy” Walsh (included in the longer trailer in that blog, but available on its own, as well) for the upcoming TV season. Thanks to 3Suns for both.(Louis Wu 17:50:10 UTC)

Halo 3 Humpday
The second proper Halo 3 Humpday Challenge. This time we played on the same maps featured in the next issue of EGM, so you can probably cross reference all these antics, weapons and maps with real screenshots next week.

Outside – The Arbiter
EternalScrappy put together ‘Outside’, a video about the Arbiter set to the eponymous song by Staind. All of his footage came from cutscenes – but he did a fantastic job matching the action to the lyrics. Cinematics, of course, are great – Bungie did ’em. A couple of MPRRS reviewers weren’t happy to see purely…

Xbox 360 on a Dell 2407 Monitor
I just recently purchased a 24" Dell 2407 (rev A03) widescreen monitor specifically to play games on and thought I’d share my thoughts on it so far, and maybe ask for any opinions. I have seen a lot of conflicting information on the web about this monitor, so maybe this will help somebody. Now that…

The Spartan Effect, Episode 3
Rookie Rabbit Productions are back with Episode 3 of their Spartan Effect series; it passed the MPRRS with flying colors. There’s not a lot of action in this episode, but it pushes the plot forward, and it’s funny. Very well-filmed (great camera angles), and nice voice acting. Lots of goodies if you keep your eyes…
