    Whoa. EGG0S has put up a video in the MLG Gameroom that shows some astounding exploits of a physics glitch in the Halo 3 engine; I’m not positive, put it looks like what’s happening is that when you toss equipment, it can actually provide support for a short (very short) time; if you’re in the…

    Obienator is working on a new machinima project (search our news for older ones; they’ve gotten some pretty nice feedback), but he’s despairing of ever finding the perfect voice actor for a specific part.
