  • Make Your Router Xbox Live Compatible

    Have you ever unsuccessfully tried to find a friend’s game on Xbox Live even though you knew it was there? Have you ever been unable to join a friend’s XBL game when he sent you an invite? Have you ever been in a pregame lobby and been unable to hear the voice communications of other…

  • Episode 98: Halo 3 beta special with Luke from 1up.com

    Download | Shownotes We broke the mold and went right back to a Halo 3 show since the beta is a hot topic right now. Better yet, we were fortunate enough to have a guest who’s more qualified then just about anyone to talk about it: Luke from the 1up Yours Podcast. Luke has played…

    Big news: JVB got invited to Microsoft to attend the launch event for Crackdown! He’ll be in Washington this Thursday and Friday talking to Microsoft Gaming Studios folks about the game that comes free with the Halo 3 beta: Crackdown! Now just because it includes the beta doesn’t mean it’s a crappy game. In fact,…

  • Halo Wars – now working on cutscenes

    in

    Interesting. Mike Smith pointed out a new update on the Halo Wars forum – the crew has been working on motion capture for cutscenes. (Personally, I’d rather be seeing where the GAME ITSELF was going right now, rather than the interstitial movies – but some update is better than no update.) Hmm… upon rereading, it’s…

  • Ultra-secret super duper interview

    in

    TheDonWan pointed out LoadingReality.com – a podcast focused on gaming in general. Episode 4 contains a sizeable interview with Bungie’s KP – lots of ‘favorite’ questions, user-submitted questions, Bungie questions, all mixed in with general abuse of KP… good stuff. Well over an hour, 43 mb. KP shows up about 15 minutes in. (Louis Wu…

    Funkmon sent us an update about the Rockets on Prisoner Awards; he took over from That Weasel, and plans to have a version out for Fall 2007 – if you have suggestions for how this should work, let him know over at Halo: Portable! (The plan now is to expand the awards to other Halo…

    Funkmon wrote to point out two new portable-formatted vids at Halo: Portable – Jamie98s’ We Become Silhouettes, and the newly-posted Legend 3 (whose provenance is still being debated) are now up. Go grab ’em for your PSP/iPod/Zune! (Wait… people actually OWN Zunes?)(Louis Wu 14:42:13 UTC)

    Wow – it’s been a while since our last mention of Tied the Leader… but boy howdy is there a lot of new content there. (No, I don’t use that expression very often. No, I didn’t get it from the TTL crowd. It just seemed appropriate.) Interviews (2), Clan Profiles (2), link roundups for folks…

  • This Time, Some Of You Will Be Left Behind

    Let’s face it: if the Halo 3 Public Beta is our new Great Journey, then the Prophet of Truth is a liar, because some of us are going to be left behind. Not everybody who wants to can get in. If everybody could get in, there’d be no difference between the beta test and actually…

  • Miller Pack Installment 3: Halo: Legend 3

    5:34 mins From HBO An anonymous user from HBO sent this in as a tribute to Mike Miller’s Legend series of videos. It’s not as polished, but it does what it sets out to do: pay homage to Mike Miller and his great Legend movies. Showcasing skill with st…

    That quote from Chris Butcher just won’t die, even though Bungie addressed it in the most recent Bungie Weekly Update – but Stuntmutt shows why it might not matter so much in today’s One One Se7en.(Louis Wu 20:15:25 UTC)
