The title of today’s news post is an homage to Gavin, as it’s his nickname for D&D. Gus and I aren’t sure why, as our session isn’t glib in the least, and has nothing to do with his vaguely science fictionesque connotation. But alas, I could spend a lifetime trying to figure out why Brits…

A Vidmaster alternative for those with bad connections
Many people are discovering that Halo 3: ODST’s finicky campaign networking can make it difficult to complete the Vidmaster Achievements – they require a long, uninterrupted stretch of connection to LIVE, and for many people, that’s not a possibility.

Forbes suggests that Halo games are the razor blades to Microsoft’s razor – the Xbox 360. (Seems like they could be right – according to this week’s LIVE Activity list released by Major Nelson yesterday, Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST were the #1 and #2 titles.) (Louis Wu 13:15:16 UTC)
