    In September, we mentioned HALOMEN, a Halo Flash animation at Newgrounds. HALOMEN2 is now up – once again, it’s probably not really safe for work.

    A bunch of articles have come out recently, talking about how Halo 3’s sales are dropping off – but the real story might be that there aren’t that many more people to BUY the game.
