  • RT: I don't think so…

    Today’s comic is obviously not based in truth, as I would never be caught dead having a conversation with Matt. dggeoff

  • Halo 3 Marathon – Players Needed

    Kreyg let us know that he’s hosting a gaming marathon (the Halo 3 session is a four hour block on August 22) to raise money for Childs Play – he’s not looking for donations, he’s looking for players. Go read the details in the forum post – there’s even a prize up for (random) grabs…

  • ComicCon vids – in one piece

    If you didn’t get a chance to watch the Halo Universe Panel vids we mentioned yesterday, because you don’t do streaming Flash, or because you didn’t relish the thought of watching 8 consecutive videos, or for whatever reason – Red_Breast went to the trouble of downloading the Flash files, concatenating them into a single movie,…

  • Spike THAT, Master Chief!

    Gamepro talked to a couple of US Olympic athletes as they get ready for the 2008 Games in Beijing in a couple of weeks. You might think they’d be totally focused on preparation for the events… but nope, they’re playing a lot of Halo 3. (And other stuff, of course. But this isn’t otherstuff.bungie.org.)(Louis Wu…

  • Hot Spartan Pr0n

    Just in case you thought Hawty McBloggy was a nice, sweet (bs) angel, she’s posted an article that should quickly disabuse you of any such notion. Technically, it’s safe for work – everyone in all the screenshots is fully clothed. However, her title (“Hot Spartan Pr0n”) is definitely on-target. Don’t follow the link if you’re…

  • RT: Heavy Lifting

    Gus and Jason are currently at Comic Con with Ben. Being his first convention, we lied and told him how much fun he’d have. He never knew what hit him. If you notice that the comic looks a little…different, it’s cause Luke drew it in the booth and sent…

  • RT: Nerdgasm

    The reports coming in from the front lines (ie. comic con) are that the cosplayers are out en masse this year, and that Ben is getting a big heap of American nerdism. I hear it might be scarring him. I prefer to think of it as “building character”. …

  • AH: Ed Boon walks us through Mortal Kombat vs. DC!

    A few months ago I had the fortune of being in Las Vegas when Ed Boon announced Mortal Kombat vs. DC, since that day I’ve been clamoring for more information on this title. For most of us in our mid-20s, Mortal Kombat hit at a key point in our life when…
