    First and foremost, if you haven’t watched Episode 89 of RvB, I highly recommend it. According to Matt, it’s “off the chain”, whatever that means. Also, today’s comic is posted below. Fries Please

    XerxdeeJ stopped by with the Tuesday update of Tied the Leader – you’ll find a clan profile of SBG Omega (you’ll learn what ‘SBG’ stands for), a great writeup of a Turkey Shoot, and a 22 Questions (well, 10, actually) interview with Calyber, of the Frag Dolls. First Class!(Louis Wu 15:44:28 UTC)

    Pezcore kicked off a new gaming blog – the most recent article discusses girl gamers, and what it means to ‘fit in’ to the gaming community. (Halo is mentioned, because the most famous girl clans play it.) He’s looking for feedback – go tell him what you think!(Louis Wu 15:32:52 UTC)

    Wow. I’m not sure what to say about this editorial at IGN – it basically says “Bungie better make sure the beta is PERFECT, or it will derail the Halo 3 Hype Machine (™®©) and kill the entire game.” Yeah, whatever. Thanks, I guess, to AfroRyan, who noticed it.(Louis Wu 14:53:04 UTC)

    Over at Bungie.net, there’s a writeup of the 2007 Winter Pentathlon – a venerable Bungie tradition involving lots of hand-eye dexterity and beer. (Normally, those don’t go together very well. As far as I can tell, the Pentathlon was normal.) KP’s team, the Mancannons, were bumped out the Halo 3 4v4 tourney early on -…

    MTV.com has an interesting article about Crackdown, and the things its developers have done to make sure it gets into the hands of gamers. The Halo 3 beta invite that will come with each launch copy is not by far the only thing added to be sure that players ‘get it’ – I don’t have…

    Interesting – word from Luke Smith is that there will probably be a Killzone 2 playable demo released before the Halo 3 beta kicks off. Why is this Halo news? Because Sony is playing the same game Microsoft played before Christmas – hype people up about the next must-have product (in that case, Halo 3)…

    It’s not quite what you think. Wired News interviews Epic’s Mark Rein about the Unreal Engine 3 technology. While usually it’s CliffyB letting his mouth run away with him a little bit, here it’s Rein, who is positively bubbling over the fact that Gears of War cost only ten million dollars to make. So, while…

    Kotaku is reporting that a playable demo of the second installment in Sony’s Halo-killer-wannabe Killzone franchise will be available before Bungie hits Xbox Live with its extensive Halo 3 Multiplayer Public Beta. Kotaku heard it from über Halo fan Luke Smith at 1UP, and I heard it from P_40E in #hbo.
