    Jordan117 found an interesting photo yesterday; it’s groan-worthy, it’s One One Se7en related, and Stuntmutt WASN’T involved. Go cry.(Louis Wu 13:32:39 UTC)

    Red vs Blue Episode 89, “The Haystack”, is now up in Flash format for Sponsors. Sheila’s having issues… and there’s some funky stuff going on in the afterlife. Erm, the cave. Uh… whatever. Burnie didn’t do a very good job of announcing this puppy, so I’m 11 hours late. Psychophan7 even beat the RvB front…

  • RT: Macho Man

    Today’s comic is posted below. I think it clears up a few lingering questions from Saturday. Also, Jason and I are fucking freezing in Portland. Please send scarves and mittens ASAP. Brrr

  • RT: The RT Globetrotters

    Much like a bear emerging from his winter hibernation, I am back and ready to start bombarding you with information about conventions and places where you and I can meet up and just say ‘hi’. We already have our travel schedule for the year planned out…

  • RT: Bad Ideas…

    I’ve seen a lot of bad tattoo ideas, many in our very own forums (looking at you Hidden Ninja), but in today’s comic, Gus takes the cake (or pie…I forget how that works).

  • RT: If I’ve Told You Once…

    It’s Saturday, Episode 89 is up for sponsors, and today’s comic is below. Everything is right with the world. On Probation

    in

    Eddie, from Rookie Rabbit Productions, sent us a note to let us know that The Spartan Effect, Episode 4 is now online. It’s funny, it’s well-filmed, go download it. (If you’ve missed the first three eps, we announced them here: One | Two | Three.) Because their downloadable versions are hosted at Filefront (which sort…

    Amped eSports has an article up that looks at the major changes gone through by the top 8 pro Halo 2 teams in this offseason – if you’ve lost track of who’s playing for what team, this is a good piece to look at.(Louis Wu 13:09:14 UTC)

  • Kotokawhata?

    Mister Froggy wrote to point out Halo, Articulated #10. I’m not sure I fully understand it, because the figures in the strip are ALREADY 12″ tall… but hey, mine is not to reason why, mine is just to pass it along to you. Update: Mister Froggy points out that Joyride action figures are actually 7″…

    The Bungie Weekly Update is a bit tired this week – hence the title ‘Weakly Update’, as dubbed by Frankie. They were all playing in their Halo Pentathlon, so there wasn’t much work done. Check out this cutting-room-floor pic to see why productivity dropped yesterday… Thanks to SteelGaribaldi for the first heads-up.(Louis Wu 12:48:44 UTC)

  • Digg Traffic

    Well, thanks to rapture, we have been getting a lot of love over the past 24hours. I bet he didn’t know what he was going to unleash when he took his camera phone and snapped this innocent photo of the ordering panel at one of the local BKs. Well, the Diggers picked it up and…

  • The Machinima Community

    The Halo 2 Machinima community has grown to a exponentially in the past few years. And with the sudden collapse of halogrid.com, much of the community has been scattered across the net searching for a new home.

  • Bungie Weakly Update

    Since we’re playing the Bungie Pentathlon today (more on that next week) there’s practically nothing to see here folks. So tune in again next week for something a bit more substantial. And enjoy yer weekends!

    The Rule of 3 route for getting into the Halo 3 beta kicked off yesterday – but there are still a few parts that are unclear, to most fans. Stuntmutt’s take on the whole mess can be seen in today’s One One Se7en.(Louis Wu 15:10:05 UTC)

    Microsoft has issued some new guidelines that are sure to impact us soon. The good news is that we can earn more Gamescore points per game. The bad news is that the game developers can control WHEN they make all the Gamerscore points available and 1000-1250 total points might not be available on the retail…
