    Better late than never, right? In case you don’t know the story, JVB was all set to go to PAX, but had plane problems and wasn’t able to go. Laird was going anyway so he pinch hit for us, becoming Mr. Podtacular for the show and getting a bunch of great interviews with the help…

    Cinema Blend has put up an article about how Halo 3 ain’t all that… and it’s our fault.Gamers are overly excited about a game that doesn’t give us anything new, so it won’t get more exciting than it already is. This is gaming standing still, and we are happy with it. It’s an opinion, that’s…

    The second-to-last Bungie Weekly Update before Halo 3’s official release date is well worth the read. The highlights, though, are you should stay out of random Bungie.net player profiles from now on, since you may end up seeing screenshots taken by people who’ve gotten copies early.
