News Update For January 11, 2007

So here’s a quick list of what’s been going on: Community Shuffle Due to spam attacks, HBO’s forum has had to require users to…

Hydrogen-injected, my patootie
Over at Bungie.net, you’ll find a detailed summary of the M274 ULATV “Mongoose” – a vehicle we’ve all heard about, but very few have seen in action. What it can do, when you should use it, when you should get your butt off one… it’s all in there. Great read!(Louis Wu 00:33:18 UTC)

The Mongoose

An absurd amount of Wallpaper.
I have no idea how this happened, but when I checked last weekend, I noticed that the Wallpapers section hadn’t been updated in over 3 months. !!!

Early thoughts on the Gears of War patch
I downloaded and installed the Gears of War patch last night and played with 8-10 people on my friends list. The game seemed to play differently than expected. I noticed these differences both on another player’s host and on my host. The biggest differences: The Longshot sniper rifle seems to fire a second shot without…

So THAT’S where he’s been!
Bader found a truly bizarre entry over at IMDb; Jason Jones, the Jason Jones that co-founded Bungie, is credited with work as Cecil the Puppet for the TV series ‘Mother Goose and Friends’. Now, IMDb has been known to contain mistakes, and Jason Jones is a pretty common name (there are 15 of them at…
