New McKay Art
Luke McKay posted a new image in his Red vs Blue collection – we’ve added it to his gallery here. He wanted to make it clear that the Master Chief is very, very tall; I think he gets the point across. (It also seems that I forgot to mention back in Ap…

Halo 2 Prank Call
This is a pretty bizarre prank call – I’m not sure what else to say about it. The tech support guy… seems gullible.(Louis Wu 12:10:21 UTC)

Send in stuff for this week’s show: AAAARG!
That’s right, this week we’ll be talking all about the ARG (Alternate Reality Game) known simply as “Iris.” Bungie calls it “spiral marketing.” We call it a whole lot of fun. What is this crazy game you ask? Well that’s exactly what we’ll be talking ab…

Wow. This story would almost be funny… if it didn’t involve a poor, uninvolved bystander whose life was turned upside down by a series of coincidences. (As someone who is still – more than 9 months in – dealing with calls from the Xbox Live service c…
