    Speedhuntr noticed a new Flash animation at Newgrounds – it’s a trailer for an upcoming series episode. Artwork, as Speedhuntr notes, is quite good. (Action is a bit gorey… but that’s par for the course with Newgrounds Flash, no?)(Louis Wu 12:24:12 UTC)

  • Humpday: Halo2.Junk.ws

    This week Bungie took on the administrators of halo2.junk.ws in what may have been the closest Humpday challenge of all time. So close that, in about a month, it’ll be shown on ESPN Classic with a crazy filter on the film to make it look like it happened ten years ago.

    Wow. There’s an article at AOL Games called ‘Men are from Mars, Women are from Halo’ – it’s about a male staffer taking on three members of the PMS clan (yes, all female), in various games. Despite the piece’s title, Halo was NOT one of the three games. (Yes, I know that this makes the…

    Last night’s Halo Humpday Challenge was played against the crew of Halo2.Junk.ws, a Halo 2 stats site. The writeup’s not posted yet at Bungie.net – but Junk’s went live a little bit ago. Looks like it was REALLY close; Bungie won two out of three, but all three scores were nailbiters. (10:00-9:23, 80-78, and 1:00-0:59.)…
