Bungie.net user One One Seven posted a pretty extensive Guide to Networking, Matchmaking, and Host in Halo this morning – it’s actually version two of this guide for him. It’s full of useful information, and because he gives permission for its hosting on other sites, I’ve taken the liberty of putting up a local copy,…

Master Chief showed up at the Saints/Jets game this weekend – and you KNOW what people were making jokes about… thanks, GrimBrother One.(Louis Wu 13:48:33 UTC)

Just a couple of comics for you today – Hawty McBloggy has the latest episode of Grin + Bear It (I don’t agree with the sentiment in this one), and TTL Demag0gue announced the existence of Reclaimer 222 (Weakness) – Bold might have a chink in his armor after all. Go read!(Louis Wu 13:44:58 UTC)

Hold X to Trick got out of Mombasa Streets – very cool! (Suggestion: mute the audio.) Thanks, Ducain, for the heads-up!(Louis Wu 12:59:15 UTC)

aklay47 and friends were at the ODST Launch Event in Seattle last month – and whipped up a 6 minute video capturing the feel of the evening. Well-done piece! Go watch it. (Louis Wu 12:54:27 UTC)

PyroSmile Productions is back with Road2Recon, Part 7 – the Déjà Vu Achievement. Watch the video for hints on earning this last Vidmaster. It also shows how to unlock your Recon armor once you’ve completed all seven Vidmaster Achievements (this part should be pretty basic, but it seems to give some people trouble).(Louis Wu 12:38:57…

Omega posted a very interesting list last night – it contains all the license plate numbers he could find in Mombasa Streets (28 of them)… and what he thinks they might be referencing. If he’s right, Bungie went pretty all-out on this easter egg. If he’s wrong… he’s discovered the biggest coincidence I’ve seen in…
